Wondering what gas appliance repair actually costs in the GTA — and whether your gas stove, range, or dryer is even worth fixing? This is the straight-talk guide we wrote from years of TSSA-certified gas service calls across Toronto and York Region — what gas appliance repair typically costs in 2026, what drives the price, why gas work is its own category under Ontario law, and the simple math we use on every job to give an honest repair-vs-replace read.
Gas oven not heating, burners clicking but won’t light, or a gas dryer running cold right now? Call 647-834-4646 for same-day gas appliance repair across Toronto, North York, Markham, Vaughan, Bradford, Barrie, and York Region — a flat $89 diagnostic that’s applied to the repair when you book, carried out by our TSSA-certified technicians.
Smell gas? Stop and read this first. If you smell rotten eggs or sulphur, hear hissing near a gas line, or feel dizzy or nauseous, do not flip switches, light anything, or use your phone indoors. Leave the building, then call your gas utility’s emergency line from outside. Book a repair only once the area is confirmed safe. A gas leak is never a DIY job — and in Ontario, neither is the gas repair itself.
TL;DR — What gas appliance repair costs and whether it’s worth it
- Gas work is its own category. In Ontario, gas appliance repair must by law be done by a TSSA-certified technician — a real differentiator, and the reason a cheap “handyman” gas fix is both illegal and dangerous.
- Most common gas appliance repairs typically run roughly $180–$420 all-in depending on the part and brand; gas safety valves and control boards reach higher. Your exact price is confirmed after the $89 diagnostic.
- The 50% rule: if the repair quote is more than half the cost of a comparable new gas appliance, replacing usually wins.
- Repair makes sense when it’s a single common gas part (igniter, spark module, gas valve coils, flame sensor, regulator) on an otherwise sound unit.
- Always anchored to the $89 diagnostic — applied to the repair, written 90-day warranty, same-day across the GTA, York Region & Simcoe County, all gas work by TSSA-certified technicians.

Why gas appliance repair is its own category
Before talking dollars, it’s worth understanding why gas appliance repair isn’t priced or handled like fixing a microwave or a washer. Gas is regulated. In Ontario, work on natural gas and propane appliances is governed by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), and the person doing the work must hold a valid gas technician certification. This isn’t a marketing badge — it’s a legal requirement.
That matters for two reasons. First, safety: a gas appliance combines a fuel line, an ignition system, and combustion. A mistake doesn’t mean a flickering light — it can mean a gas leak, carbon monoxide, or fire. Second, legality and liability: a cheaper, unlicensed “fix” from someone without TSSA certification is illegal in Ontario, can void your appliance warranty and your home insurance, and leaves you holding the risk if anything goes wrong later. The discount you save up front is not worth what it can cost.
So when you compare a gas appliance repair quote to a quote for a non-gas appliance, you’re not comparing like for like. The part may cost the same; the certification, the safety checks, and the legal accountability are what make gas repair its own category. Every gas job we do — stove, range, oven, dryer, cooktop — is handled by a TSSA-certified technician, and that’s reflected in how we diagnose and price the work. You can see the full scope on our gas appliance repair service page.
How much does gas appliance repair cost in the GTA?
The honest answer: it depends on the appliance, the failed part, and the brand. Anyone who quotes you an exact figure over the phone without seeing the unit is guessing. What we can give you is a real picture of how the cost breaks down and the ranges most repairs fall into.
Every gas appliance repair cost has three parts: the diagnostic (our flat $89, applied to the repair when you book), the part (anywhere from a modest igniter to a $300+ gas safety valve or control board), and the labour (a quick igniter swap versus a buried gas-valve replacement are worlds apart). A cheap part with a heavy teardown can cost more than a pricier part that swaps out quickly.
As a rough frame for Ontario in 2026, most common gas appliance repairs typically range from roughly $180 to $420 all-in — parts, labour, and the 90-day warranty included — depending on the part and brand. The bigger jobs (gas safety valves, control boards, gas valve coil assemblies) sit higher, in the $380–$600+ range. Your exact price is confirmed after the diagnostic, never before. Gas repairs tend to sit at or slightly above comparable electric repairs for the same symptom — not because the parts cost dramatically more, but because the work requires TSSA certification and added safety checks.
Want a real number instead of a guess? Our $89 diagnostic tells you exactly what’s wrong and what the all-in gas repair will cost — and that $89 comes off the repair when you approve it. Same-day across the GTA, York Region & Simcoe County, all gas work by TSSA-certified technicians, with a written 90-day warranty on parts and labour.

Cost drivers across gas appliances
Across the gas appliances we service, the price is driven by which part failed and how much labour it takes to reach it. Here are the parts behind most gas repairs — with typical all-in ranges (part + labour + 90-day warranty). Your exact price is confirmed after the $89 diagnostic, because the same symptom can be a cheap part on one brand and a pricier one on another.
- Igniter (gas ovens & dryers): typically ~$180–$320. The single most common gas failure — a weak igniter won’t get hot enough to open the gas valve, so the appliance won’t heat. Common on both gas ovens and gas dryers.
- Spark module / surface igniter (stovetops): typically ~$150–$300. The usual culprit when a gas burner clicks but won’t light, or won’t stop clicking.
- Gas safety valve: typically ~$250–$420. Safety-critical, and always replaced by a TSSA-certified technician. Less common, but at the higher end when it goes.
- Gas valve coils (gas dryers): typically ~$180–$320. The coils open the gas valve so the burner can fire; when they fail, the dryer tumbles but runs cold.
- Flame sensor / flame detector: typically ~$160–$300. Tells the control the burner has lit; a faulty sensor shuts the gas off as a safety measure, causing short-cycling or no heat.
- Pressure regulator: typically ~$170–$320. Controls gas flow to the burners; a faulty regulator causes weak or uneven flames.
- Control board / clock-timer: typically ~$300–$500. Higher cost, but often still under the price of a new appliance on mid-range and premium models.
- Burner caps, ports, and igniter wiring: typically ~$150–$280. Behind many “one burner won’t light” and intermittent-ignition complaints; sometimes just a cleaning and realignment.
The pattern: cheap-part, light-labour fixes (igniter, spark module, flame sensor, valve coils) are almost always worth it. Heavy-teardown or high-part-cost fixes (gas safety valve, control board) are where age and the 50% rule decide it. We’ll always tell you which side of the line your unit is on — with the real quote in hand.
Gas stove & range repair cost
On a gas stove or range, the failures we see most are about ignition and gas flow. Most common gas stove and range repairs fall in the $150–$420 all-in range, depending on the part:
- Burner won’t light, but clicks: usually the spark module, a dirty or misaligned burner cap, or igniter wiring — often one of the cheaper fixes.
- Oven won’t heat: most often a weak oven igniter — the classic gas-oven repair, typically in the $180–$320 range.
- Weak, uneven, or yellow flames: can be a clogged burner, a regulator issue, or an air-mixture problem. A yellow or orange flame instead of crisp blue is worth taking seriously — see our guide on what an orange flame on a gas stove means and when it signals a real problem.
- Gas safety valve failure: less common, higher cost, always TSSA-handled.
Because every one of these involves gas, none of them is a DIY job in Ontario. If you’re weighing a gas range against an electric one on cost, our companion oven & stove repair cost guide breaks down the gas-vs-electric difference in detail.
Gas dryer repair cost
A gas dryer dries with a gas burner instead of an electric element, so the heating side is where most repairs happen. The drum-turning, belt, and roller parts are shared with electric dryers and cost about the same to fix; the gas-specific parts are what set it apart. Most common gas dryer repairs run $160–$420 all-in:
- Dryer tumbles but runs cold: the most common gas-dryer complaint. Usually the igniter, the gas valve coils, or the flame sensor — all in the $160–$320 range. A TSSA-certified technician identifies which of the three it is.
- Dryer heats then shuts off mid-cycle: often a faulty flame sensor cutting the gas as a safety measure, or a clogged vent causing the unit to overheat and trip the thermal fuse.
- No heat at all: can be the igniter, the gas valve coils, or a blown thermal fuse from a restricted vent.
One important note: a clogged dryer vent makes a gas dryer work harder, can cause overheating, and is a genuine fire risk — so part of a proper gas-dryer diagnostic is checking the venting, not just the burner. Our full dryer repair service covers both gas and electric.
Gas-line and hookup work
Beyond fixing a failed part, some jobs involve the gas connection itself — connecting a new gas range or dryer, replacing a worn flexible gas connector, or checking a suspected leak at a fitting. This is the most safety-critical gas work there is, and it’s exactly where unlicensed “fixes” are most dangerous and most illegal.
Gas-line and hookup work is always quoted after inspection because it depends on the existing setup — the shut-off valve, the connector length, and whether the line meets current code. What’s non-negotiable is that it’s done by a TSSA-certified technician with a proper leak test afterward. If you ever smell gas around a connection, don’t investigate it yourself: leave and call your gas utility first.
Why TSSA certification is the real value. The cheapest gas “repair” is the one done illegally by someone uncertified — and it’s the most expensive mistake you can make. A TSSA-certified repair means the work is legal, your warranty and insurance stay intact, and the appliance is leak-tested and safe to use. That’s the differentiator behind every price on this page.
Is it worth repairing a gas appliance?
This is the question everyone really wants answered. We use three simple tests — and we walk you through them on the service call so the decision is yours, made with real numbers.
The 50% rule. If the repair quote is more than half the cost of a comparable new gas appliance, replacement usually wins. A new mid-range gas range in 2026 runs roughly $900–$2,000, and a new gas dryer roughly $800–$1,500. So a $250 igniter repair on a sound 6-year-old gas range is an easy yes; a $500 control-board or safety-valve job on a 13-year-old unit is a much closer call.
The age rule. Most gas ranges last about 15 years — sometimes more, because gas burners and valves are durable — and gas dryers about 13–15 years. If the unit is past roughly 10–12 years and needs a major part, lean harder toward replacement, not because it can’t be fixed but because once one major part wears out, others tend to follow.
The single-common-part test. Repair makes the most sense when the failure is one common, well-understood gas part on an otherwise sound unit — an igniter, a spark module, gas valve coils, a flame sensor, a regulator. These bring a gas appliance back to years of reliable service for a fraction of replacement cost. When the failure is a major part (gas safety valve, control board) on an older unit, that’s when the math flips.
Quick rule of thumb: single common part + unit under ~10 years + repair under 50% of a new appliance = repair. Major part (gas safety valve / control board) + unit over ~13 years + repair near or over 50% = replace. Everything in between is a judgement call — and that’s exactly what the $89 diagnostic is for. Whichever way it goes, the gas work itself is always done by a TSSA-certified technician.
Why we start with an $89 diagnostic
You’ll notice every cost on this page is anchored to one number: the $89 diagnostic. Here’s why that matters and how it works.
A gas appliance repair cost can’t be honestly quoted until a TSSA-certified technician sees the unit, hears the symptom, identifies the failed part, and checks the gas connection is sound. The $89 covers a trained, certified technician coming to your home — anywhere across the GTA, York Region, and Simcoe County, same-day in most cases — diagnosing the exact fault, and giving you a firm all-in price before any work begins.
Three things make it a genuinely low-risk call:
- The $89 is applied to the repair when you approve it — so if you go ahead, the diagnostic effectively costs you nothing extra.
- The final price depends on the diagnosis — we never quote a part you don’t need, and you decide whether to proceed with the real number in front of you.
- Every repair carries a written 90-day warranty on parts and labour, and all gas work is performed by a TSSA-certified technician.
Our technicians carry OEM parts for the common gas failures right on the truck — igniters, spark modules, flame sensors, gas valve coils — across Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Maytag, GE, Frigidaire, and more, so most repairs are a single visit. We’re a single local team out of Bradford, and we’re across the GTA for gas appliance repair daily.
Gas appliance repair cost FAQ
How much does gas appliance repair cost in the GTA?
Most common gas appliance repairs in the GTA typically range from roughly $180 to $420 all-in — parts, labour, and a 90-day warranty included — depending on the failed part and the brand. Higher-cost jobs like a gas safety valve or control board run around $380 to $600 or more. The exact price can’t be honestly quoted until a TSSA-certified technician sees the unit, which is why we start with a flat $89 diagnostic that’s applied to the repair when you book. Call 647-834-4646 for same-day service.
Why does gas appliance repair need a TSSA-certified technician?
In Ontario, work on natural gas and propane appliances is regulated by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), and the technician must hold a valid gas certification by law. It’s a safety and legal requirement, not a marketing label. A cheaper unlicensed “fix” is illegal, can void your appliance warranty and home insurance, and leaves you exposed if a gas leak or fire follows. Every gas repair we do is performed by a TSSA-certified technician.
How much does gas stove or range repair cost?
Most common gas stove and range repairs run roughly $150 to $420 all-in. A burner that clicks but won’t light is often a spark module or a dirty burner cap at the lower end; an oven that won’t heat is usually a weak igniter, typically $180 to $320; a gas safety valve sits higher. Weak, yellow, or orange flames point to a clogged burner or regulator issue. The exact price is confirmed after the $89 diagnostic, and all gas stove work is done by a TSSA-certified technician.
How much does gas dryer repair cost?
Most common gas dryer repairs run roughly $160 to $420 all-in. The most frequent complaint — the dryer tumbles but runs cold — is usually the igniter, the gas valve coils, or the flame sensor, all in the $160 to $320 range. A dryer that heats then quits mid-cycle is often a faulty flame sensor or a clogged vent causing overheating. A proper gas-dryer diagnostic checks the venting too, since a blocked vent is both a performance problem and a fire risk.
Is it worth repairing a gas appliance?
Usually yes, if the unit is under about 10 years old and the failure is a single common part — an igniter, a spark module, gas valve coils, a flame sensor, or a regulator. The simple test is the 50% rule: if the repair quote is more than half the cost of a comparable new gas appliance (a gas range runs roughly $900 to $2,000 new in 2026, a gas dryer roughly $800 to $1,500), replacement starts to win. A $250 igniter repair on a sound 6-year-old unit is an easy yes; a $500 safety-valve job on a 13-year-old unit is a much closer call. We give an honest repair-vs-replace read on the service call with the real quote in hand.
Is gas appliance repair more expensive than electric?
It tends to sit at or slightly above the cost of a comparable electric repair for the same symptom — not because the parts cost dramatically more, but because gas work in Ontario must be done by a TSSA-certified technician and includes added safety checks and a leak test. The shared parts (door, drum, control board) cost about the same either way. The gas-specific parts — igniter, gas valve coils, gas safety valve — are what make a gas repair its own category.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Treat it as an emergency. Don’t flip switches, light anything, or use your phone indoors — any spark can ignite gas. Leave the building, then call your gas utility’s emergency line from outside. Do not try to find or fix the leak yourself. Once the area is confirmed safe, book a TSSA-certified technician for the repair. A gas leak is never a DIY situation, and in Ontario the repair itself legally requires certification.
Do you charge for the diagnostic?
Yes — a flat $89 diagnostic, which is applied to the repair when you approve it, so if you go ahead the diagnostic effectively costs nothing extra. The final repair price depends on the diagnosis, and every repair carries a written 90-day warranty on parts and labour. All gas work is performed by a TSSA-certified technician, and we offer same-day service across the GTA, York Region, and Simcoe County. Call 647-834-4646 or book online.
