SIMPLE, FAST, RELIABLE
How Cooking Equipment Repair Works
Here’s how A-1 gets your cooking line back, from the first call to the first ticket after the repair.
Call or Request Online
Call 414-404-9739 or request service online. Let us know what failed, the fuel type (natural gas, propane or electric) and the symptom. Smelling gas? Close the unit’s gas valve first, then tell dispatch as soon as they answer.
Rapid Dispatch
A technician based in the Milwaukee area is assigned to your call, with emergencies prioritized. Friday nights during Lent are the busiest fryer nights of the year in Wisconsin, and a fryer down before the fish fry is treated like the emergency it is.
Diagnose & Repair
Your technician finds the real cause, which can be the equipment, the building’s air or the electrical supply: a failed thermocouple, a make up air unit pulling cold air across the line, or a weak circuit. Repairs are made with parts from the truck when stocked.
Test, Document, & Follow Up
The equipment is tested under real cooking conditions before sign off, with burners lit and temperatures checked against the dial. The work is documented, and A-1 guarantees the parts and labor for 90 days; if the same failure returns in that window, we come back.
THE A-1 DIFFERENCE
Why Choose A-1 Services Group For Cooking Equipment?
When the cooking line stops, so does every order. Here’s why Milwaukee area restaurants and kitchens call A-1.
Highly Skilled Technicians
A-1 technicians learn gas, electric and steam cooking equipment through Tech24 University, and bring an HVAC and electrical background that helps when a cooking problem really starts in the air supply or the power.
We Stock the Most Commonly Used Parts
Trucks carry the parts cooking equipment wears out most: thermocouples, igniters, gas valves, thermostats, heating elements and door gaskets, so more repairs are finished before the next rush.
90-Day Guarantee
A-1 guarantees parts and labor on every A-1 cooking repair for 90 days. If the same failure comes back in that time, the return visit costs you nothing.
Planned Maintenance Programs
Maintenance can include burner inspection, thermostat calibration, gas pressure checks, fryer filtration service and gasket replacement, timed before Lent and the Friday fish fry season and again before summer.
All Fuel Types & Configurations
Natural gas, propane, electric and dual fuel equipment, including propane kitchens in rural areas without a gas main, from decades old ranges to new combi and rapid cook ovens.
Cooking Line, Air And Power, One Team
A-1 services the exhaust, make up air, rooftop units and electrical circuits your cooking equipment relies on. When pilots blow out on a subzero day or a fryer keeps tripping its breaker, one technician fixes the cause.

Cooking Equipment Repair FAQ
Everything you need to know about A-1 Services Group's commercial cooking equipment repair services.
A-1 Services Group, based in Oak Creek, repairs commercial kitchen appliances across southeastern Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Waukesha and Mequon.
We repair fryers, ranges, ovens, broilers, griddles, steamers and kettles in restaurants, taverns, supper clubs, schools and cafeterias, with 24/7 service for emergencies.
A-1 repairs all major commercial cooking equipment brands, gas, propane and electric, from ranges and fryers to combi and conveyor ovens. Share the make and model when you call so your technician can bring the right parts.
Older equipment is welcome. Many Wisconsin kitchens still run ranges and broilers bought decades ago, and with the right parts they can often keep going.
Often, yes. Pilots that blow out can be caused by a failed make up air unit, smoke that won’t clear can be a weak exhaust fan, and an electric fryer that keeps shutting off can be a circuit problem. A-1 services all three, so one technician can find the real cause.
That saves the back and forth of calling a cooking equipment company, an HVAC contractor and an electrician separately, each fixing only their part.
Book a fryer and cooking line check in January, before Ash Wednesday. Have burners and elements tested, thermostats calibrated, filtration systems serviced and fry baskets and dump stations inspected, since Friday nights during Lent are the heaviest fryer load of the year in Wisconsin.
Check the hood and make up air at the same visit. February and March cold can make an underperforming make up air unit blow out pilots in the middle of a fish fry.
Repair when the fry pot is sound and the problem is a thermostat, thermocouple, gas valve or element. Replace when the pot is cracked or leaking, failures keep repeating, or a single repair approaches half the price of a new fryer.
ENERGY STAR certified fryers use less energy and often less oil, and Wisconsin businesses may qualify for Focus on Energy incentives on qualifying models. Your A-1 technician can price the repair and a replacement on the same visit.
Emergency calls are answered 24/7 and prioritized by urgency, and A-1 technicians are based around the Milwaukee area, so someone is usually nearby. In snow and ice, give dispatch your exact location and access details so the technician can reach you faster.
Smelling gas? Close the gas valve to that unit before calling. Otherwise, have the make, model and symptoms ready.
