Jazz Appliance Repair

Commercial kitchen equipment lifespans vary: commercial ovens 15-20 years, fryers 10-15 years, refrigeration equipment 10-15 years, ice machines 7-10 years, dishwashers 10-15 years, steam tables 10-15 years. Regular preventive maintenance significantly extends equipment life. Equipment that is properly maintained often outlasts these averages by 5+ years.

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.

Installation time varies significantly: single appliance with existing connections 2-4 hours; single appliance requiring new utility connections 4-8 hours; full kitchen buildout 1-3 weeks depending on scope, permit timelines, and contractor scheduling. Work with your installer to create a realistic timeline that accounts for utility work, inspections, and health department walkthroughs before opening.
