Homes in Tavistock

Know the home, know the fault

Residential properties around Tavistock range from mid-nineteenth century miners' houses at the southern edge to distinct Bedford style cottages and modern homes for people commuting to Plymouth. With a sizeable retired population and properties serving as bases for visitors exploring Dartmoor, kitchens see varying levels of use. An electric or induction hob needs to handle everything from occasional holiday cooking to daily family meals. Built-in cooking appliances are integrated directly into the worktop, meaning a breakdown requires a repair in place rather than taking the unit to a workshop. When a hob stops working, the symptoms depend on the heating technology. On a traditional electric or ceramic model, a zone that will not heat might have a failed heating element or a faulty energy regulator behind the control knob. Induction hobs use electromagnetic coils beneath the glass, and a failure here can result in error codes on the display or the appliance switching off unexpectedly. Touch controls that do not respond can point to a failure in the main user interface board or a communication issue with the power module. Sometimes, moisture ingress or a degraded component inside the casing causes the hob to trip the electrics when turned on. We only repair electric and induction models, as we do not work on gas hobs or any gas appliances. During a visit, we look at zones or rings that will not heat, touch controls that do not respond, error codes, and hobs that switch off or trip the electrics. We dismantle the unit in your kitchen to test the internal wiring, thermal limiters and control boards.
