# La Cornue appliance maintenance cost

### Why the visit is longer here than on the rest of the fleet

Count the work. Up to eight gas burners, a plaque burner and a grill burner to check for combustion. Two ovens to calibrate against a probe through full cycles. A hood with baffles, a duct and a blower. A finish that has to be inspected rather than glanced at, because a chip in vitreous enamel in a coastal kitchen rusts outwards from the day it happens. That is a morning, not an hour, and the figure says so rather than hiding the time in a parts markup.

What moves this figure

from $195 — longer than the fleet's standard visit, and here is why

Two ovens calibrated on a dual-fuel range, not one

The hood is part of it, because the hood protects the range

How many burners

Combustion checked on every burner plus the plaque and grill burners. A Grand Palais 180 is not a four-burner range.

One oven or two

A dual-fuel Château has a gas oven and an electric oven that drift independently. That is two calibrations.

Whether the hood is included

It should be. Baffles out and washed, duct flow measured, blower current checked.

Enamel, brass, copper or a clear-coated trim each want different treatment, and a chip found early is stabilized rather than replaced.

What was found last time

A second annual visit is cheaper than the first because the unknowns are known.

### Is this worth it on a range that is working fine?

On most appliances we would be honest and say once every couple of years. On this one, annually — because the failures here are gradual and invisible. A burner that has drifted rich, a thermostat 25 degrees out, baffles at half flow and an igniter on its way out all present as "fine" to somebody who cooks on it daily and has adjusted around each one.

### What is not included?

Parts, and any repair found during the visit — those are quoted before anything is done. Also not included: deep cleaning of the range as a cosmetic job. We clean what has to be clean for the appliance to work, which is a different thing from a valet.
