Whether it is stone cold, painfully slow to preheat, or heating 50 degrees off from what the dial says, an oven that will not heat properly has a very short list of causes — and they split cleanly between gas and electric models.
Igniters, elements and sensors are same-visit replacements for us. Call when the oven is cold, slow, or uneven after the checks above — and stop using a gas oven that smells strongly of gas unburned. We test under load, because a weak igniter can look perfect when cold.

"Dishwasher kept leaving dirty dishes and a puddle inside. They cleaned the blocked drain, changed a worn spray arm, and now it runs like new. Straightforward people, fair quote."
Robert L. — The Woodlands
"Oven stopped heating two days before a family dinner. They booked us in fast, changed the igniter, and saved the weekend. Friendly, on time, and they cleaned up after the work."
Angela W. — Pearland
"Our Whirlpool fridge ice maker quit. Tech replaced the water inlet valve and explained how Houston hard water clogs them. Ice bin is full again. Good honest service."
David M. — Cypress

That is the textbook weak igniter pattern on gas ovens. It will get worse until it fails completely — replacing it now restores normal preheats and removes the gas smell.
Uneven heat — a failing bake element, a sensor touching the oven wall, or a door gasket leaking heat. All are checkable and repairable; we probe-test the real temperature pattern.
Often yes on electric ovens with separate elements — a fair short-term workaround. On gas ovens sharing an igniter system, get it checked first.
Always. The technician first diagnoses the problem, then gives you one flat quote. We only start the repair after you approve the price, and the quote does not change at the end.
Call now and talk to a real person. Same-day slots in Houston fill up fast, especially for fridge and washer problems.
