Santa Clara County, San Francisco Bay Area

Appliance installation in Los Altos Hills.

Los Altos Hills bans commercial zoning altogether, a ban upheld by the California Court of Appeal in 1973, so its only two retail operations sit on a college campus and a convent's grounds, and the town has no post office or library of its own.

What Los Altos Hills does
to an appliance.

Zoning here requires a minimum lot size of one acre with setbacks and pathway easements, and limits each lot to one primary dwelling, effectively banning multifamily housing.

The town sits within a mapped seismic zone in the Santa Clara Valley foothills, keeping the same rural, low-density feel as neighboring Woodside and Portola Valley.

Gated communities

Large houses behind a gate often receive several appliances at once, and an installation there sets the order, heavy built-ins before freestanding units, so each is connected and tested without blocking the next.

Cutouts and panel-ready fits

A specified kitchen is drawn around exact cutouts, and an installation there compares each opening against the spec sheet of the model actually delivered, since a late change of make can leave a gap or an opening too tight by a fraction of an inch.

Family houses

Where children are in the house, no cooking unit is set in place without its anti-tip bracket, and an installation there fixes the bracket, engages the leg and tests it by tilting the unit gently forward before the crew leaves.

When an appliance
cannot wait in Los Altos Hills.

In Los Altos Hills as anywhere, these five signs follow a connection that is not safe to run on, so the new appliance stays off until the hookup is put right: gas in the air after the gas connector went on, water on the floor after a supply or drain connection, a burning smell or a tripped breaker on the very first run, and a laundry exhaust that is crushed, pulled loose or blowing lint into the room.

All 17 problems
A quiet home kitchen with a newly installed stainless gas range pulled slightly out from the wall, every burner off and its knobs at the off position, the new yellow-coated flexible gas connector visible behind it running to a wall valve, a kitchen window standing open with the curtain moving, seen from the doorway. Hazard after a hookup

Gas Smell After a Hookup: Leave the House, Then Call

6 causes, cheapest first

 A kitchen floor in front of a newly installed dishwasher, its kick plate removed and leaning against the cabinet, a small spreading pool of clear water on light wood flooring below the open toe space, a folded dry towel lying nearby untouched, the sink cabinet door open beside it with a chrome stop valve visible, seen low from across the room. Hazard after a hookup

6 causes, cheapest first

 A home laundry room seen from the side, a new front-loading dryer standing still with its door closed and its display dark, a silver metal transition duct hanging loose and disconnected from the round wall collar behind it, a little gray lint scattered on the floor and the wall behind the machine, the power cord unplugged and lying on the floor.
