Coastal Equipment Repair

Combi oven steam issues are commonly caused by: clogged steam generator or boiler scale buildup, failed heating element in the steam generator, water inlet valve problems, or steam nozzle blockages. Mineral scale from hard water is the most common culprit and can be prevented with regular descaling. A combi oven specialist should inspect the steam system as improper repairs can damage the boiler.

Signs your oven needs calibration: food is consistently undercooked or overcooked at standard settings, cooking times are significantly longer or shorter than expected, the displayed temperature doesn't match an independent thermometer reading. Oven calibration should be part of every service visit and can drift over time from component wear. A variance of more than 25°F warrants professional calibration.

Installation costs vary widely: single appliance installation $300-$2,000 depending on complexity (simple drop-in vs. gas/electrical connections required); complete kitchen buildout $15,000-$75,000+. Costs include equipment setting, utility connections (gas, electric, water, drain), ventilation hookup, and commissioning. Always get installation quotes separate from equipment costs — some dealers include installation, others charge separately.
