What Noe Valley does
to a cooktop.

Two-unit buildings and three- or four-unit buildings together account for about 41 percent of the homes in 94114, a Noe Valley ZIP code.

Only about one home in ten there has four or more bedrooms.

CleanPowerSF, the city's public power program, says buildings produce more than a third of San Francisco's greenhouse gas emissions.

San Francisco's Environment Department holds that induction beats gas on cooking speed, temperature control, safety and clean-up.

Older housing stock

Gas to an old kitchen may still run through black iron laid long ago, ending at a shutoff deep in a base cabinet, and the connector between that valve and the cooktop is inspected whenever the top is lifted.

Small kitchens

A compact cooktop often sits beside the sink with barely a hand's width between them, and water splashed onto the glass edge or into the knob openings is a common cause of switches and touch keys that act up.

Family houses

Cast iron slid across a glass top and pots dropped onto grates are part of family cooking, so scratched or chipped glass and cracked burner caps turn up often in these kitchens.
