### Older housing stock

Electric cooktops in older houses can be wired through a junction box added long after the original wiring, and loose or heat-darkened splices in that box explain many zones that heat on Monday and refuse on Tuesday.

### 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.

### 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.
