Repair vs. replace
A dead range at 5pm kills the ticket line and burns comp checks. Commercial range calls are dispatched same-day when placed before 11am; after-hours available.
Every gas-range repair is done by a gas-certified tech. Combustion tuning, gas-leak diagnosis, and safety-valve work are core competencies.
A griddle running 30°F hot burns product and drives fat cost. Thermostat calibration is included on every griddle PM.

If your equipment is down right now
Confirm the manifold shutoff is open. About 15% of no-heat calls are upstream utility issues — a closed valve or a tripped restaurant gas solenoid tied to the hood.
Look for steady pilot flames on open-burner ranges. A pilot that won't stay lit is almost always a failing thermocouple.
Snap the controller and error codes on newer ranges (Vulcan V-series, Garland Master). Send the photo when you call.

FAQs
Almost always a failing thermocouple. The pilot flame heats the thermocouple, which holds the pilot safety valve open — a marginal thermocouple can't hold the valve. Thermocouple replacement is truck-stocked.
Yes — Wolf commercial (not residential Wolf, which we also service under our Sub-Zero / Wolf residential program). Burner and pilot service, thermostat, gas valve, ignition. See our Vulcan and Garland pages for those brand hubs.
Yes. Thermostat calibration is included on every griddle PM and available as a stand-alone visit. Miscalibration is a common driver of burned product and elevated food cost.
Yes — radiant and lava-rock charbroilers, and infrared salamander / cheesemelter broilers. Burner and radiant replacement, thermocouple, gas valve, rack mechanism.
Yes. We issue COIs naming your property manager, hospitality group, hospital facilities office, or municipal account as additional-insured at no charge — typically the same business day. General liability and workers' comp are in force year-round; we can raise limits per contract on request.
First visit is card-on-file or COD. Once an account is established, we invoice Net-15 or Net-30 with itemized statements aligned to your accounting cycle. We accept POs from restaurant groups, hotel brands, property management firms, school districts, and city and county accounts. ACH and card payments both fine.
Yes — quarterly, semi-annual, and annual PM plans tiered by equipment count and equipment class. Every visit includes condenser cleaning, drain flushing, gasket and hinge inspection, electrical-tightness verification, controller and setpoint check, and a written report you can hand to insurers, health inspectors, or franchisors.
Every technician holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification covering R-404A, R-448A / R-449A (Solstice N40, Opteon XP40), R-290 hydrocarbon systems where code permits, and legacy R-22. Cooking-equipment techs are gas-certified for natural gas and LP on ranges, fryers, ovens, and combi-ovens.
Yes. We coordinate dock and freight-elevator windows in advance, badge in through hotel or hospital engineering, and work around banquet, service-window, and clinical-department timing. Overnight and pre-open service is available when a daytime window won't work.
Yes — after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency dispatch is available for refrigeration, ice, and warewashing failures across the Twin Cities metro. A published after-hours premium applies and is confirmed in writing before the tech leaves the shop.
A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair — the same failure mode, on the same unit, within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Some sealed-system components carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
Yes. Truck-mounted reach-ins, undercounter units, generator-fed ice machines, and mobile prep tables are all serviceable — we typically shop-visit at your commissary or overnight parking rather than roadside so the unit can stabilize before diagnosis.
Yes. Written estimates are issued before any sealed-system, compressor, or major-component work. On request we provide inspector-ready documentation: repair scope, part numbers, refrigerant type and charge, and the date service restored the unit to spec.
