What San Mateo County does
to a stove.

Where stoves sit in San Mateo County: gated communities, specified kitchens, holiday cooking.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Gated communities

Large houses behind a gate change owners less often than most, so their stoves stay in place for many years, and when a new family moves in, having the burners, the oven and the hookup looked over is a sensible first visit.

Specified kitchens

Classic European stoves with cast-iron hotplates or a French top are kept for decades in these kitchens, and their owners want them repaired rather than replaced, which means parts ordered from the maker by the stove's serial number.

Holiday cooking

Hosting a holiday runs the oven and every burner at once for hours, and the eve of the dinner is when owners find out that one burner refuses to catch or the oven lags, so a check a week ahead leaves time for parts.
