Gas Hob and Stove Service

Details

Rs 449 services a hob or stove of up to four burners. A five-burner hob, or a second appliance in the same visit, is Rs 349. Burner caps and heads come off and are de-choked, the jets and nozzles are cleared, the air and gas mix is set until every burner runs a clean blue cone rather than the lazy yellow tip that means it is running rich, the ignition electrodes are cleaned and their gap set, the valves and knobs are greased, the glass or steel top and drip trays are cleaned, and every joint from the regulator to the appliance is soap-tested for a leak in front of you. Two things about this job are worth being blunt about. First, the flame. A yellow, lifting or noisy flame is almost always a choked jet or a wrong air setting, and it is fixed on this visit. It is very rarely a bad cylinder, which is the diagnosis people are given because it moves the problem somewhere else. Second, the regulator. Under the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Regulation of Supply and Distribution Order 2000, the regulator and the cylinder belong to your gas distributor, not to you and not to us. We will test the connection and tell you if the regulator is at fault, and then we will tell you to call your distributor. We will not replace it, adjust it or tamper with it, and anyone who offers to at your door is doing something they are not entitled to do. The hose is different and it is ours to deal with: an LPG hose to IS 9573 Type 2 carries a printed expiry, we check it, and where it is past date or perished we replace it at Rs 180 to Rs 350.

• Rs 449 for up to four burners, Rs 349 for a five-burner hob or a second appliance in the same visit
• Burner caps and heads de-choked, jets and nozzles cleared, air and gas mix set to a clean blue cone, electrodes cleaned and gapped
• Every joint from regulator to appliance soap-tested for leaks in front of you
• LPG hose checked against its printed expiry date and replaced at Rs 180 to Rs 350 where it is past date or perished
• The regulator and cylinder belong to your distributor under the LPG Order of 2000. We will not touch either, and we will tell you when the fault is there
• Not included: automatic ignition PCB at Rs 600 to Rs 1,600, glass top replacement, brass burner replacement at Rs 250 to Rs 700 each, the regulator, and any work on the cylinder
• Parts are charged at the printed MRP on the box and never above it, the box and the bill are left with you, and there is no handling charge on top. You may also buy the part yourself and we will fit it, and the labour price does not change.
• 90 days on the workmanship. If a burner we set goes yellow again inside the window, the revisit costs nothing
• What is missing from this page is deliberate: no arrival window, no crew size, no turnaround promise. Those come from a roster that is still being built, and printing them early is how this trade starts lying.
