Clicking burner that never lights. A gas ring burning orange instead of blue. An electric coil that stays cold while the others glow. Stovetop faults come from dirty igniters, cracked spark modules, bad infinite switches, and loose element terminals — and on glass tops, from a control board that misreads touch. We repair all major brands, gas and electric, in Alexandria kitchens from Del Ray bungalows to Duke Street condos. If you smell gas, shut the valve and step outside first. Then call us or use the quote form and tell us which burner fails.

From Alexandria we cover 22301, 22304 and 22306 along with Rose Hill, Lincolnia, Baileys Crossroads and Arlington.
Both, plus dual-fuel and induction. Gas work means igniters, valves, orifices and safety valves. Electric means elements, infinite switches and relay boards. Induction means coils and power modules. Tell us which you have when you call us.
Almost always a part, not the appliance. A drifting temperature sensor is the usual culprit, sometimes the control board or a cracked element. We test the sensor's resistance cold, so the diagnosis isn't guesswork.
Yes, and it's usually a small repair. On gas that points at one igniter or a blocked orifice. On electric it's often the element or its receptacle. Isolated failures are simpler than whole-range problems.
That's most of the homes we visit. Rowhouses and walk-ups don't leave much clearance. We protect the floor, walk the range out carefully, and check for a gas shutoff before anything moves.
Most weeks we hold same-week slots across 22302, 22305 and the rest of the city. Morning and afternoon windows are available, and we call before we roll up so you're not sitting by the door. Parking in Old Town can be tight — let us know if we need a permit or a spot behind the building.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Brand and rough age help. We ask a few questions so the tech arrives with likely parts on the truck.
Pick a window that works. Our tech tests the machine, checks power, water and drainage, then explains what failed in plain words. No jargon, no guessing out loud at your kitchen table.
Most jobs finish the same visit. If a part must be ordered, we tell you what and why. If the unit isn't worth fixing, we say that too, and you decide.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
