5 Benefits of Annual Kiln Inspections - For Teachers and Artists

1. Our kiln technicians can confirm if you have the correct kiln for the electrical service in your home, studio or classroom

Large kiln manufacturers like L&L, Skutt, Cone Art and Olympic create many different models and styles of kilns for various studio needs. One very important factor when purchasing a new kiln for your home/studio or setting up a kiln that was handed down to you is to it make sure that the electrical phase and voltage of the kiln match the space you intended to use it in. Our technicians inspection kilns in New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania - and help artists, teachers and studio owners determine if their kilns are safe and accurate for their final location.

2. With All Kiln Services you'll receive a report detailing safety concerns, suggested repairs and recommendations

At AKS we inspection over 3,000 kilns annually in public schools, private residents and university studios. We’ve seen and serviced every kiln brand - and have seen every type of issue or concern you might have! During the visit we inspect external parts (lid, stand, lid bracket) and internal components (elements, wiring, power cord) and write a report with any notable safety concerns or repairs that would improve your kiln.

All kiln manufacturers including L&L, Skutt, Cone Art, Olympic, Paragon Evenheat, Gare and more recommend All Kiln Services for inspections and kiln repair!

3. We can diagnose issues with your kiln before they become safety problems or cause more damage!

During the inspection we can tell you a lot about your kiln! From the model/serial number to the wiring and generation of control board our technicians can tell you what to expect with your kiln. Kiln inspections are not only used for preventive maintenance but also to diagnose issues that might be causing you trouble. We know what to look for and how to repair your kiln with genuine parts. If you think your kiln has been firing differently, have your kiln inspected before larger issues like heat damage become a problem!

4. We work closely with Teachers and School Administration to make you feel safe and in control of your kiln!

We hear time and time again from teachers that they accepted their teaching position and along with it came a kiln that has never been serviced! We support you, and want you to feel good firing your kiln. With a kiln inspection we look at your kilns venting and room exhaust, the kilns proximity and location and formally review all electrical components. If you have concerns - we will hear them and help you feel more confident when firing your kiln!
