Gas Appliance Safety Warning
Never attempt DIY repairs on gas ovens or stoves. If you smell gas, turn off the appliance, ventilate the area, and call SparkPoint immediately at (929) 506-5869. Do not use electrical switches or open flames.
Ovens and stoves are among the most complex appliances in your NYC home, combining electrical systems, gas lines (for gas models), and high-temperature components. Understanding common problems and safety protocols can help you make informed decisions about repairs.
