How much does it cost to service a gas cooker in Dubai?

Gas hob servicing in Dubai typically costs AED 150–AED 350 for a standard call-out and service, depending on the engineer and whether parts are needed. If a burner igniter needs replacing, add AED 50–AED 150 for the part. Most reputable appliance repair companies in Dubai offer a diagnostic fee of AED 100–AED 150 that's waived or applied to the repair cost if you proceed.

For a hob that isn't igniting properly on specific burners, the most common causes are: clogged burner caps from food residue blocking the gas ports (often a cleaning fix, not a repair); a faulty or worn spark igniter; or a faulty ignition switch. Before calling an engineer, remove the burner caps and crowns, clean them thoroughly with a toothbrush and warm soapy water, ensure they're fully dry and correctly seated — this resolves the issue in many cases.

For safety: always use a DED-licensed gas appliance engineer for any internal work on gas connections or components. In Dubai, all gas appliances connected to the piped natural gas network (supplied by Dubai Gas or Empower) must be serviced by licensed technicians. If you smell gas and can't locate the source, do not attempt to fix it yourself — call Dubai Gas on 800-DUBAIGAS (800-382244) immediately and ventilate the area. For LPG cylinder setups (common in older villas), ensure your regulator and hose are replaced every 2–3 years as they degrade in the heat.
