What Palo Alto does
to a cooktop.

City of Palo Alto Utilities, owned by the city, supplies water, electricity, gas and wastewater service, while almost every other Northern California community relies on PG&E for gas and electricity.

Much of Palo Alto's housing is built in the style of mid-century California middle-class suburbia.

Besides Professorville, Palo Alto has a second historic district downtown, on Ramona Street between University and Hamilton Avenues.

Nearly a quarter of Palo Alto's homes were built in the 1950s.

Specified kitchens

Brass bezels, colored knobs and stainless trim on pro rangetops are ordered in their original finish, so a repaired rangetop still matches the cabinetry around it.

Newer developments

A subdivision's kitchen package usually installs the same 30-inch gas or radiant cooktop in every house, so when one neighbor's igniters or elements start going, the houses around it are rarely far behind.

Family houses

Breakfasts, weeknight pasta and weekend pancakes put a family cooktop through many short heat cycles a day, which is hardest on the igniters and on the switches behind the most-used knobs.
