Gas appliance repair in Ottawa

We repair residential gas appliances of most major brands, whether the appliance is standalone or part of a dual-fuel range with a gas cooktop and an electric oven. Our TSSA-certified technicians diagnose and repair the gas side and the electronic controls that manage it, because modern gas appliances fail on the electronic side (boards, sensors, spark modules) as often as on the gas side.

• Gas range repair and gas stove repair: burners, igniters, spark modules, oven bake and broil burners.
• Gas cooktop repair: sealed burners, spark electrodes, valves and control knobs.
• Gas oven and wall oven repair: glow-bar igniters, safety valves, temperature sensors and controls.
• Gas dryer repair: igniters, flame sensors, gas valve coils and thermal fuses (a blocked vent is a common underlying cause).
• Gas appliance installation and connection: see stove installation and appliance installation in Ottawa.

Burner won’t light, or clicks endlessly. Usually a worn spark igniter, a clogged burner port or a failed spark module. Our guide to a gas stove igniter that keeps clicking covers the cleaning you can safely do first.

Oven takes forever to heat, or won’t light. On gas ovens, a glow-bar igniter weakens with age: it still glows, but never draws enough current to open the gas valve. That is the classic slow-oven symptom; see oven not igniting.

Uneven, yellow or lifting flame. A healthy flame is steady and blue. Yellow, sooty or lifting flames mean an air-gas mixture problem or a partly blocked burner, worth fixing promptly for both performance and safety.

Gas dryer not heating. Gas dryers share the usual dryer suspects, a thermal fuse, a cycling thermostat or a blocked vent, plus gas-specific parts: the igniter, the flame sensor and the gas valve coils. See dryer not heating.

Oven temperature drift. If bakes come out uneven or the oven overshoots, the temperature sensor or the control board is usually to blame, and both can be replaced without replacing the range. See oven temperature problems.

A persistent gas smell is not an appliance-repair situation; it is a safety situation. Don’t flip switches, unplug anything or light a flame. Get everyone out, leave the door open behind you, and call the gas utility’s emergency line from outside: Enbridge Gas in Ottawa, Gazifère in Gatineau. Call 911 as well if the smell is strong. Once the utility has made the home safe, we can repair the appliance or the connection that caused it.

In Ontario, work on gas appliances must be performed by a TSSA-certified technician. It is the law, and for good reason: an incorrectly seated valve or an untested connection can leak for months undetected, and any gas connection that has been opened should be leak-tested before the appliance goes back into use. B&M has repaired appliances in Ottawa homes since 1995, and every repair is backed by a 3-month warranty on parts and labour.

On the Quebec side, gas appliance service is confirmed when you book, so tell us the appliance and address in your request.

The diagnostic visit for gas appliances is $129 + tax, reflecting the certification and extra safety testing gas work requires. It covers the visit, the gas-safety checks and the full diagnosis. You get a written quote before any repair begins.

Service hours are 7 AM to 9 PM, with same-day visits when the schedule allows; visits between 9 PM and 7 AM add a $100 flat after-hours fee. Addresses more than 30 km from downtown Ottawa may carry a travel charge. The stove repair cost and dryer repair cost guides explain what affects the price of a repair.
