Wind on our hillside lot makes the Bertazzoni hood flap bang. Is that the hood or the duct?

Usually the damper. A clean damper that swings freely can still tap in strong gusts, but one that hangs half open or rattles in light wind has grease on its hinge or a bent flap. We check it from inside and look at the wall cap, which may need a better seal.

Is a Bertazzoni repair worth it in a flatland bungalow kitchen we plan to redo later?

If the range is going into the new kitchen, yes, since most repairs cost far less than a new range of this class. If it is not, we give you the repair price in writing and you can weigh it against your remodel plans.

Do you cover Fairmount and the Del Norte area near the BART station?

Yes. All of El Cerrito's 94530 is in our area, from Fairmount and Del Norte in the flats up to the El Cerrito Hills.

Bertazzoni in El Cerrito

Bertazzoni in El Cerrito kitchens.

El Cerrito splits by elevation. The 1940s to 1960s ranches and split-levels off Moeser Lane and Barrett Avenue climb toward Wildcat Canyon, and the view lots up there have seen steady kitchen remodels. On an exposed lot, a Bertazzoni hood that vents through an outside wall faces more wind, and the backdraft damper in the duct is the part that feels it first.

Down in the flats near San Pablo Avenue, the stucco bungalows are mostly long-held family homes. A Bertazzoni that went into one of those kitchens runs on a gas line and a circuit decades older than the range, and our technician checks both before blaming the range. Diagnosis is $99 and is credited toward the repair, with a written quote before any part goes in.

Common repairs we do

Common repairs we handle.

Backdraft damper rattling or letting cold air in. The damper is a light flap that should open when the blower runs and fall shut when it stops. Grease or a bent hinge pin leaves it half open, so wind rattles it and cold air comes down the duct. We free or replace the damper and check that the cap outside is intact.
Oven that lights late with a whoosh. A delayed, noisy light means gas is collecting before the ignitor gets hot enough to light it, and a weak ignitor is the usual cause. It is worth fixing, not living with. We measure the ignitor, check the gas valve, and watch several light-offs before we leave.
Burner roaring or burning lopsided after cleaning. Lifting the cooktop panel to clean underneath can knock a venturi tube off its gas orifice. The burner then pulls the wrong mix of air and gas, roars, or burns with a lopsided flame. We set the venturi back on the orifice and test the burner from high down to simmer.
