Many Fishtown kitchens cook on natural gas. If a gas cooktop ever smells of gas, leave the house and call PGW or 911 from outside before anything else. Short of that, a burner that clicks but won't light is usually a dirty or cracked igniter, and an oven that won't heat is often a weak igniter or a failed element.
In newer homes a washer leak on the second floor reaches the ceiling below quickly, so shut the water off and tell us the floor when you book.

Induction, gas lines and older circuits in Philadelphia
New-construction rowhomes and recently renovated condos, especially in neighborhoods like Fishtown, Northern Liberties and Graduate Hospital, have brought a lot of induction cooktops into Philadelphia kitchens. Many owners are new to induction, and some service calls turn out to be cookware: a pan that is only partly magnetic, a warped base that does not sit flat, or a pan smaller than the zone's detection threshold. A simple magnet test on the bottom of the pan answers the question.
Gas cooktops remain common, supplied by PGW. A cooktop set into an island usually has its gas shutoff in the cabinet below; it is worth knowing where it is. If you smell gas, leave the house and call PGW or 911 from outside, without operating switches. Do not attempt to adjust burner valves or orifices yourself.
In older homes that are being updated, electric and induction cooktops draw significant power and need a properly sized dedicated circuit. A cooktop that trips the breaker or shuts down under heavy use may be on an undersized circuit, which is a job for an electrician, not a repair to the appliance.
