Q: How much does it cost to replace a burner on a grill?

<div><p>The cost of a gas grill burner ranges from <b>$10 to $100</b> or more, depending on the brand. If you&rsquo;re replacing one burner, consider replacing all the burners simultaneously.

Q: Is it worth fixing a gas grill?

<div><p>If your grill is relatively new or under warranty, it&rsquo;s worth fixing. If the warranty has run out, find the cost of parts (usually a burner or grate that&rsquo;s rusted out). If the parts cost more than half the price of a new grill, it&rsquo;s worth buying a new one. </p><p>However, if your gas grill is a built-in unit as part of an outdoor kitchen, contact the grill manufacturer or distributor to check on warranty coverage. You should also contact a local gas grill repair technician to get an estimate for repairs or a price to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/replacing-built-grill-requires-change-outdoor-kitchen.htm">replace your built-in grill</a>. </p></div>

Tim was outstanding. The grill works better now then it did when it was new (gas flaws in my original installation). The cost of rebuilding was a much better investment than buying a comparable unit. I needed somebody who had the skills to confidently complete the task. The Doctor did it.
