When a gas cooktop sputters, clicks without igniting, or shows scorch marks on the surface, most homeowners ask one immediate question: How much will the repair cost? At CountBricks, our AI-driven estimating platform gives project managers—and the residents they serve—transparent, real-time answers. In this in-depth guide, we unpack every factor that shapes the repair cost of gas cooktops, from the price of OEM parts to the labor hours you should budget into your next work order.
Residential remodel schedules are tighter than ever. Even a one-day delay on a kitchen project can ripple into lost revenue, rescheduled subcontractors, and frustrated clients. By leveraging CountBricks.com/services you can:
• Generate a voice-powered on-site diagnosis in minutes
• Pull current material prices for valves, igniters, and burners
• Auto-create an invoice that matches your client’s budget and timeline
1. Component Prices
High-use parts such as spark modules and control knobs account for roughly 25-40 % of the total repair cost. CountBricks syncs daily with leading supply databases to deliver up-to-the-minute pricing, replacing guesswork with precision.
2. Labor Hours
Residential technicians typically bill between 1.5 and 3 labor hours for most gas cooktop repairs. Our AI evaluates historic job cards to recommend the most accurate labor allocation based on cooktop brand, model, and fault code.
3. Travel and Access Constraints
Multi-storey homes, narrow staircases, and limited valve shut-off access add hidden minutes that inflate overall costs. CountBricks’ mobile app prompts you to capture these site variables during your walk-through so they appear automatically in your estimate.
Residential single-family projects analyzed by CountBricks in 2024 show the following median price ranges:
• Minor igniter replacement: $180 – $260
• Burner head swap: $220 – $340
• Complete gas valve assembly: $350 – $540
• Electronic control board: $480 – $720
These benchmarks assume standard labor rates and no structural modifications. By contrast, properties with bespoke countertop cut-outs or imported appliance brands can push costs 20 % higher. Always validate the line items inside CountBricks before sending the bid.

• Check for carbon monoxide vents when reinstalling sealed burners
• Dispose of electronic boards through certified e-waste channels

CountBricks scrapes supplier data every 60 minutes, ensuring your igniters, gasket kits, and burner assemblies reflect live market pricing. If a part spikes more than 10 % week-over-week, the system alerts you to discuss alternatives—like refurbishing the existing burner head instead of replacing it.
