Cooktop repair in Santa Monica.

Santa Monica's Zero Emission Building Code barred gas piping from new buildings whose permit applications came in after December 31, 2022, and it treated a remodel that counts as a demolition under city code the same as new construction.

What Santa Monica does
to a cooktop.

Under that code, cooking in a commercial kitchen could qualify for an exemption, while the city's guidance listed residential cooking appliances among the gas uses that typically would not.

In September 2024, after a 2023 Ninth Circuit ruling, the City Council adopted an Energy Performance Approach that sets a stricter source-energy margin for all new buildings, whether all-electric or mixed-fuel.

The NOAA station on the Santa Monica Pier reaches 80 degrees on fewer than 8 days in a normal year and has no 100-degree days on its 1991–2020 normals.

On the water

A storm that cuts power stops induction and radiant tops outright and silences the spark on a gas one; when the grid comes back a surge can reach the control board or spark module, so a cooktop acting strangely after a storm is tested before it is replaced.

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.

Mixed housing

Kitchens on a mixed block may run on gas piping or a panel from another era, so moving an older house from a gas cooktop to induction often means a new 240-volt circuit, worth knowing before the old top is written off.
