Stove & Range Repair in Santa Barbara — Book a Visit Today
We handle cooktops and freestanding ranges for Santa Barbara households, weekdays and swing-shift evenings. Burners that click but never light, a flame burning orange and sooty, or an electric coil sitting stone cold while its neighbor glows all have real fixes: igniters, spark modules, burner valves, switches, or a control board that lost a leg of power. If you smell gas at all, shut the valve and step outside first, then reach us. Call us or start the quote form with your brand and symptom, and we'll line up a visit.

Homeowners on how the visit went
“The written quote listed the part number. I checked it online and the price was fair. Hired.”
Diane R.Stockton, CA“Stove igniter clicked forever and never lit. Fixed on the first visit with zero drama.”
Pete C.Reno, NV“A different company said replace the fridge. These folks fixed a relay and it has run six months since.”
Gloria M.Gilbert, AZStove & Range Repair in Santa Barbara — quick answers
Is a gas smell an emergency?
Treat it that way. Shut the gas valve behind or below the range, open windows, skip light switches, and step outside. Call your gas utility first. Once they clear the home, reach us and we'll handle the appliance side.
Why does one burner light but the others don't?
On many gas ranges, all burners share a spark module. If only one fails, the trouble is usually local: a fouled port, a cracked electrode, or moisture. If none light, we look upstream at the module or the wiring feeding it.
Can you fix a cracked glass cooktop?
The glass itself is replaced, not repaired. We check whether the crack reached the element wiring underneath, since that changes the job. Some cooktops have available replacement glass; older models may not. We tell you what we find before ordering anything.
My oven bakes unevenly. Is that fixable?
Often, yes. Uneven baking usually traces to a weak element, a convection fan that stopped turning, a worn door gasket letting heat escape, or a sensor reading off. We test actual cavity temperature against the setting rather than guessing.
How soon can someone get to my house in Santa Barbara?
Call us in the morning and we can often reach you that same day, or the next. You get an arrival window, not a guess at the whole day, and we text before we head over. If your schedule only opens up after work, say so when you book and we'll aim for a later slot.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us what it's doing
Ring us or fill in the form, and describe the noise, the smell, the error code and the brand. Small details help us load the right parts before we ever knock on your door.
- Step 2
We come look
Our tech tests the machine instead of guessing. You hear what failed and why, in plain words. Then you decide whether repairing it makes sense or replacing it makes more sense.
- Step 3
Repair and retest
Approved work gets done, often on the same visit. We run a full cycle before packing up, wipe down the area, then show you what changed so nothing surprises you next week.

Why homeowners call us
- We know hard waterValley water leaves scale on everything, and we see it in clogged dishwasher jets and crusted washer valves. Water heaters groan, too. We check for mineral buildup out of habit, because around here it's usually part of the story.
- Swing-shift friendlyNot everybody is home at ten in the morning. We schedule around night shifts and split shifts, and around long commutes. Tell us the window that actually works for your household and we'll aim for it.
- Independent, not steeredNobody pays us to push a brand. We service all major makes as an independent shop, so our advice on repair versus replace comes from what we saw inside your machine.
- Straight talk on old unitsSome appliances aren't worth another part. We'll say so. If a repair is likely to buy you real time, we'll say that too, and let you pick from there.
- All major brands, gas & electricFrom Whirlpool and GE to Samsung, LG, Bosch and KitchenAid, serviced independently.
- Straight answersIf it isn't worth repairing, we'll say so, often right on the phone.
