### On a lake

Lake houses often grill and eat outdoors through the summer and lean on the indoor cooktop in spring and fall, so a weak element or igniter can go unnoticed until the weather turns and the kitchen is busy again.

### Older housing stock

A cooktop set into an older counter often sits in a cutout no current model matches, so repairing the existing top, rather than replacing it, can spare the counter from being recut.

### 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.
