Repair Service Built for Philadelphia-Area Homes
The 19147 ZIP code stretches south of South Street through Queen Village and Bella Vista, around the Italian Market on Ninth Street and into the northern part of Pennsport. It is almost entirely brick rowhouses, from tiny trinities on Queen Village courts to longer two- and three-story homes on the Bella Vista blocks, many of them held by the same families for decades. Gas kitchens are the norm here, and a lot of those ranges have been cooking daily for years.

Keeping an Older Gas Range Working Safely
Most rowhouse kitchens in this ZIP cook on natural gas supplied by PGW. A gas range is a durable appliance, but a few problems show up again and again in older ones. Surface burners that click and will not light usually have food or grease on the igniter or a burner cap that is sitting crooked. An oven that takes ages to heat, or will not light at all, often has a weak igniter; in many ovens the igniter must draw enough current to open the gas valve, so a glowing igniter can still be too weak to work.
Flame color tells you a lot. Burner flames should be mostly blue. Tall, yellow or lazy flames, soot on pots or a strong odor during cooking point to a burner or air problem that should be looked at. Ranges should also have their anti-tip bracket installed, which is often skipped when an old range is swapped in a narrow kitchen.
If you ever smell gas, do not touch light switches or try to find the leak. Leave the house and call PGW or 911 from outside. Leave valves, regulators and gas connections to qualified professionals; we diagnose the igniters, valves, controls and burners on the appliance itself.

Streets here are narrow and mostly one way, with permit parking on many blocks, so a note about where to pull up helps. Clear the range top, and if the range will need to be pulled out, make sure the gas shutoff behind it can be reached. Have the model number, usually on a tag inside the oven door or drawer, ready to share.
