What Hillsborough does
to a cooktop.

Under that code, a new home plumbed for gas or propane cooking must include electric-ready components for each gas terminal or stub-out.

After a 2024 Ninth Circuit decision, the town stopped enforcing the code's bans on gas and propane space and water heating.

More than four in five Hillsborough homes have four or more bedrooms.

Gated communities

Estate kitchens behind a gate often carry a 48-inch rangetop with a griddle or grill beside the burners, or several modular cooktops in one counter, and a visit tests each section, since one problem can hide another.

Specified kitchens

Specified kitchens often set a cooktop flush into stone or line up modular units, gas, induction and a grill, in one counter, and a repair must leave every unit at the height and gap the installer set.

Cooking for a crowd

Some hosting houses add a gas cooktop or side burner to the outdoor kitchen as well, and after a quiet season its ignition and valve are checked for weather, spiders and debris before the first party.
