What Cook County does
to a cooktop.

Where cooktops sit in Cook County: older housing stock, specified kitchens, mixed housing.

All of Chicago

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.

Specified kitchens

Designed islands often pair an induction or gas cooktop with a telescoping downdraft behind it, so one visit may cover a power board, a burner valve and a lift motor in the same counter.

Mixed housing

On a mixed street, an older gas cooktop with mechanical valves may be easier to keep going than a recent induction top whose power board has to be ordered from the maker.

Gold Coast

A neighborhood of lakefront condo towers and old greystones: the towers mostly cook on glass or induction cooktops, the greystones on gas, and each building's rules shape the visit.

Lakeview

Two-flats and condos where the cooktop may be an aging gas top or a glass unit from a recent renovation, so the visit starts by identifying what is set into the counter.

Lincoln Park

Victorian and frame houses gutted and rebuilt inside, so an island cooktop and its downdraft may be decades newer than the gas pipe or the circuit that feeds them.
