The average oven repair in Greater Boston costs $180 to $450 including parts and labor. That range covers the great majority of jobs we complete. At the low end, a bake element or a hot surface igniter runs $180 to $280, because the part is inexpensive and the work takes under an hour. The middle band covers oven temperature sensors, thermal fuses, door gaskets, and convection fan motors at $190 to $420. The top of normal range is a control board or a gas safety valve at $350 to $650, where the part itself carries most of the cost. Professional dual-fuel ranges from Wolf, Viking, and Thermador add a premium on parts rather than labor, often thirty to sixty percent.
Flat-rate pricing matters here. We quote the whole repair before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.

How Much Does It Typically Cost to Repair an Oven by Fuel Type?
Fuel type changes both the parts list and the licensing required, so it shifts the average:
- Electric ovens: $180 to $420. The cheapest category to service. Elements and sensors are inexpensive and accessible, and no gas license is involved.
- Gas ovens: $190 to $620. Igniters sit at the low end, but a safety valve replacement must be performed by a licensed gas fitter in Massachusetts, which raises the labor component.
- Dual-fuel ranges: $240 to $780. Two systems to diagnose, and these are typically professional-grade units where parts cost more.
- Induction ranges: $280 to $780. Fewer mechanical failures, but the power modules and generator boards are expensive when they do fail.
- Built-in wall ovens: $220 to $700. Parts prices match freestanding equivalents, but pulling a unit from a cabinet adds labor.
What Pushes an Oven Repair Toward the High End
Five factors account for nearly all of the variation above the median:
- The part is a board. Control boards, induction power modules, and relay boards are the expensive components in any oven, and the price is almost entirely the part.
- The brand is professional-grade. Wolf, Viking, Thermador, Miele, and La Cornue carry OEM-only parts at a premium. We service these through Wolf, Viking, Thermador, and Bosch and Miele specialist lines.
- Gas work is involved. Licensed gas fitting is a higher labor rate for good reason. See licensed gas range repair.
- The unit is built in. A wall oven that must come out of cabinetry, or a range in a narrow Boston brownstone kitchen, adds access time.
- The part is discontinued. Sourcing an obsolete board through a parts broker costs more than ordering a current one.
Is the Repair Worth It at These Prices?
Against $800 to $2,500 for a replacement range plus installation and disposal, nearly every repair in the table above pays for itself. The honest exceptions are a discontinued control board on a twenty-year-old unit and a cracked cavity, and we will tell you plainly when you are in one of those situations.
