Where We Run · 60641
Portage Park
Brick bungalows with kitchens at the back of the house and an older gas service ahead of them. A range that never quite makes its setpoint here is often a supply question before it is an appliance question.
What a visit here usually involves
This is the run where the appliance is usually innocent. A range that never quite reaches its setpoint in a bungalow with an older service is a supply question, and it is settled with a manometer in about ten minutes. We would rather spend those ten minutes than sell you a thermostat that will behave exactly the same way.

What we are called out for
- Range Repair Dual-fuel and all-gas professional ranges taken as one appliance rather than two: burner and griddle behaviour on the top, ignition and gas pressure underneath, and the oven cavity below it all diagnosed on the same visit.
- Oven Repair Built-in wall ovens and the oven half of a range — calibration drift measured against a probe rather than the display, convection faults, door and hinge work, and control boards that have locked themselves out.
- Cooktop & Rangetop Repair Sealed-burner rangetops, gas cooktops and induction tops — spark modules, burner heads and orifices, valve stems that have gone stiff, and glass tops where a zone has stopped responding.
- Range Hood Repair Professional hoods, liners and inserts — blower motors and speed controls, baffle and duct restriction, lighting circuits, and the make-up air problems that show up in a tight rehabbed kitchen long before the hood itself is at fault.
Also on this loop: Logan Square, Wicker Park, North Center.
What people say afterwards
4.9 out of 5 · 1390 reviews
Controls had gone completely dead along with the lamps. He found a scorched connector behind the panel, cut it back and made the joint properly with new terminals rather than a board swap.
Rupert Z. · Portage Park
It clicked away to itself all night with everything switched off. Moisture in a switch behind a knob after a big cleanup. He dried and replaced it and the house has been quiet since.
Stefan H. · Portage Park
Lower cavity had stopped broiling while everything else worked. He tested the element and the relay separately, found the relay, and did not charge me for the part I did not need.
Barnaby C. · Portage Park
Preheat took the best part of forty minutes and then it gave up holding. The bake element had a hairline break you could only see from underneath. He spotted it and had the part on the van.
Lorcan D. · Portage Park
Bungalow kitchen, narrow back stair, and a range that needed pulling out. He protected the floor, worked around the tight doorway without a mark, and replaced the valve on the front position.
Ignatz W. · Portage Park
Downdraft rose halfway and stalled with an unhappy noise. Track was fouled and the lift motor was tired. Cleaned, motor replaced, and it now travels the whole way up and back without complaint.

Booking a visit in Portage Park
Give dispatch the model off the frame, the fault and the address. You get a window that can be kept, and a firm price once the readings are taken.
