Appliance installation in Pacific Heights.

Pacific Heights houses climb steep lots from the street, and a new appliance often reaches the kitchen up a long run of front steps and a narrow Victorian hall, so the delivery path is measured door by door and the old unit is planned out the same way before anything is ordered.

What Pacific Heights does
to an appliance.

Pacific Heights sits on an east-west ridge that rises sharply from the Marina District and Cow Hollow to a maximum height of 370 feet above sea level.

Most of the neighborhood's homes date from after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, when small 1870s Victorian cottages were largely replaced by larger period houses; only its oldest building, the 1853 Leale House, survived from before that boom.

The neighborhood runs from Van Ness Avenue west to the edge of the Presidio, and its exact boundaries differ depending on whether the local Realtors' association, the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services, or the Pacific Heights Residents Association draws the line.

Older housing stock

Historic districts often review changes to a house's outside walls, so a new hood cap or laundry vent may need approval before a hole is cut, and an installation there tries the existing openings first.

Cutouts and panel-ready fits

Panel-ready units arrive without their fronts, and fitting them means mounting the cabinetmaker's panels to the maker's template, setting the hinges for the panel's weight and lining up the reveals with the cabinet doors around them.

Tight openings and walk-ups

A compact laundry closet leaves almost no room behind a stacked pair, so the hoses, the drain and any duct are connected before the machines are pushed back, because nobody can reach behind them once they are in.

When an appliance
cannot wait in Pacific Heights.

In Pacific Heights 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.
