Stove Repair in Birchcliff — TSSA-Licensed Gas & Electric, Price Locked Before Arrival
Birchcliff above the Scarborough Bluffs is one of the few Toronto neighbourhoods where vintage Canadian-made gas stoves are still in daily operation. The compact 1940s and 1950s bungalows — originally wartime housing for returning veterans — occasionally contain Moffat (Weston, Ontario) and McClary (London, Ontario) gas stoves whose sturdy cast-iron construction has kept them running for 50 to 70 years. These brands ceased production decades ago, and servicing their pre-electronic gas systems — standing pilot lights, mercury-column thermostats, manual gas valve assemblies — requires component rebuilding rather than parts ordering.
Vintage Moffat and McClary gas valve assemblies, thermostat bellows, and pilot light tubes cannot be sourced from parts distributors. We rebuild using universal fittings and custom-fabricated components. Gas stove repair in Birchcliff requires TSSA-licensed technicians under Ontario law. Fixlify technicians carry the required TSSA gas fitter certification for all gas stove work. We never subcontract gas repairs to unlicensed personnel — every gas component we touch is serviced by a certified gas fitter who understands both manufacturer specifications and Ontario safety code requirements.
Common stove repairs in Birchcliff: gas burner igniter replacement ($120–$200), gas valve assembly ($150–$300), control board replacement ($200–$400), electric element ($80–$180), glass cooktop panel ($200–$450), infinite switch ($80–$150). Our technicians carry common parts for Moffat, McClary, GE stoves on every dispatch to Birchcliff.
Local tip for Birchcliff: Never convert vintage Moffat or McClary stoves to propane or modify the gas system without a TSSA-licensed technician. With proper maintenance, a 1950s Moffat can operate safely for decades more.
Gas vs. Electric Stove Repair in Birchcliff
Birchcliff homes contain both gas and electric stoves. Gas repair requires TSSA licensing, pressure testing, and gas valve expertise. Electric repair involves element testing, infinite switch diagnostics, and control board work. Dual-fuel ranges need both skill sets on a single visit. Fixlify technicians are certified for both gas and electrical appliance work.
