Gas vs. Electric Cooktop: Which Is Better for Your Home?

If you’re choosing a new cooktop, both gas and electric have their advantages. The better option really depends on how you cook, how much maintenance you’re comfortable with, and your kitchen setup.

🔥 GAS COOKTOP

Pros:
• Instant heat
• Quick and precise temperature adjustments
• Easy to visually judge the heat level
• Great for high-heat cooking
• No waiting for the surface to heat up or cool down

Cons:
• Grates and burners require more cleaning
• More parts to remove when cleaning
• Requires a gas connection
• Proper ventilation is important

⚡ ELECTRIC COOKTOP

Pros:
• Smooth, modern appearance
• Flat surface is easier to wipe down
• No open flame
• Simple everyday cleaning
• Works well in homes without a gas connection

Cons:
• Slower response when changing temperatures
• The glass surface can scratch or crack
• Spills can burn onto a hot surface
• Residual heat remains after the cooktop is turned off

So, which one would we choose?

For us, it’s gas.

The instant response and greater control over the heat make the extra cleaning worth it. But there’s no universal winner the best cooktop is the one that fits the way you cook.

Alfresco Pizza Oven Propane Conversion

Outdoor pizza ovens are becoming a popular part of outdoor kitchens, but like any gas appliance, they need to be properly configured for the fuel source being used.

Our recent service included a propane conversion on an Alfresco outdoor pizza oven. A proper gas conversion involves more than simply connecting a propane tank. The appliance must be correctly configured for propane so that gas flow, ignition, and burner operation are appropriate for the new fuel source.

If you’re installing an outdoor pizza oven, moving to a new home, or changing your outdoor kitchen from natural gas to propane, have the appliance evaluated and converted by a qualified professional.

Elemental Appliance Repair provides professional diagnostics, repair, and gas conversion services for premium outdoor cooking appliances, including pizza ovens, grills, and other outdoor kitchen equipment.

It may still be cooling and seem to be working perfectly but after years of service, there can be quite a bit happening where you can’t see it.🕷️

This is why regular inspection and maintenance matter, especially with older Sub-Zero refrigerators.

A professional check can uncover hidden buildup, worn components, drainage issues, and other developing problems before they turn into an unexpected breakdown.

Your Sub-Zero was built to last. Proper care can help keep it that way.

Is Your Ice Maker Due for Service?

A reliable ice maker is easy to forget about until it stops making ice, starts leaking, or the ice suddenly doesn’t look or taste right.

At Elemental Appliance Repair, we service both residential and commercial ice makers throughout the Charleston area. From built-in ice makers at home to high-capacity machines in restaurants, bars, offices, and other businesses, our goal is to find the actual cause of the problem and provide the right repair.

Common ice maker problems we service:

🔴 Not making ice or making very little ice
🔴 Ice cubes that are too small or irregular
🔴 Water leaking around the machine
🔴 Unusual noises
🔴 Ice that tastes or smells different
🔴 Machine freezing up
🔴 Drainage and water supply issues
🔴 Scale and mineral buildup

Maintenance matters, too!
Ice makers work with water every day, which means mineral deposits and buildup can affect performance over time. Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance can help keep the machine operating properly, improve ice quality, and catch developing problems before they turn into an unexpected breakdown.

We repair and maintain residential and commercial ice machines, including built-in and undercounter units and commercial equipment from brands such as Scotsman, Manitowoc, Hoshizaki and many others.

Why was this refrigerator tripping the breaker?

This Sub-Zero refrigerator kept tripping the breaker due to multiple issues. During our diagnosis, we found a faulty water valve and ice maker, both of which were replaced. We also cleaned the condenser coil, which had a heavy buildup of dust and debris.

A dirty condenser coil forces the refrigerator to work harder, reducing efficiency and potentially contributing to electrical and cooling problems.

✔️ Replaced the water valve
✔️ Replaced the ice maker
✔️ Thoroughly cleaned the condenser coil

Regular maintenance helps your refrigerator run more efficiently, extends its lifespan, and can prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Catch it early, save yourself a bigger repair down the road.

Ice maker on the fritz? You’re not alone and you don’t have to live with warm drinks or a bin full of half-melted cubes.

Manitowoc ice machines are workhorses, but even the best equipment needs a trained eye when things go sideways. Common culprits we see: dirty water filters, worn evaporator components, refrigerant issues, or a control board that’s finally given up. Our techs diagnose the real problem first no guessing, no unnecessary part swaps.

At Elemental Appliance Repair, we don’t just fix it. We make sure you understand it. That means a clear explanation of what went wrong, what it’ll take to fix, and how to keep it from happening again.

Why are we steaming a $5,000+ True Residential beverage cooler?

This cooler stopped cooling because the automatic defrost system failed. As ice built up on the evaporator, airflow became restricted, preventing the cabinet from maintaining the proper temperature.

Steam is used to safely remove the ice so we can accurately diagnose the root cause not just treat the symptom. Once the failed component is identified, we complete the repair and verify the entire defrost system is operating correctly.

At Elemental Appliance Repair, we have experience servicing premium refrigeration, including True Residential. Before any repair begins, we explain what failed, why it happened, and the best solution for your appliance, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Your commercial ice machine works every day but when was the last time it was professionally cleaned?

If it’s been a while, it may already be affecting your business.

Mineral scale and biofilm build up inside the machine over time, reducing ice production, making the equipment work harder, and increasing the risk of expensive repairs.

Many business owners don’t realize there’s a problem until the machine stops making enough ice usually during their busiest days.

Regular professional cleaning helps keep your ice machine producing clean ice, operating efficiently and lasting longer.

If you can’t remember the last time your commercial ice machine was cleaned, now is a good time to schedule preventive maintenance.
