## What San Mateo County does to an appliance.

Where appliances sit in San Mateo County: gated communities, cutouts and panel-ready fits, patio and pool installs.

### Gated communities

Homes in gated communities often add guest houses and pool cabanas, each with its own circuits and water lines, and installing an appliance in one of them starts by finding which panel and which shutoff actually serve it.

### 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.

### Patio and pool installs

Appliances built into a patio island must be rated for outdoor use, and installing one there checks the model's rating before the unit is set into the island's cutout and its airflow openings are left clear.

### Atherton

Atherton houses often receive a whole suite of appliances at once, with long drives, gates and several rooms to reach, and an installation there is planned as a sequence, the heaviest built-ins placed first and each unit's connections tested before the next arrives.

### Hillsborough

Hillsborough's winding, hilly topography makes a grid street layout impossible, and many lots, especially on the town's western side, sit on fairly steep slopes.

### Woodside

Woodside is a small incorporated town run under a council-manager government.

### Belmont

Belmont incorporated in 1926 on land that was once part of Rancho de las Pulgas, and one of its main roads, the Alameda de las Pulgas, still carries the old rancho's name.

### Burlingame

Burlingame's land once belonged to merchant William Davis Merry Howard, who planted many of the eucalyptus trees still found there, before banker William Ralston bought the land and named the town for his friend, diplomat Anson Burlingame.

### Foster City

Foster City contains at least ten bridges, seven crossing its lagoon, two crossing Highway 92, and one, the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, crossing San Francisco Bay itself.

### Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay went through two earlier names, San Benito and then Spanishtown, before taking its current name in 1874.

### Menlo Park

Menlo Park's train station holds the record as the oldest continually operating train station in California.

### Millbrae

Millbrae is bordered by San Andreas Lake to the southwest and sits next to San Francisco International Airport to the northeast.

### Portola Valley

Portola Valley was named for Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola, who led the first European party to explore the San Francisco Peninsula in 1769.

### Redwood City

The Port of Redwood City is the only deepwater port anywhere on San Francisco Bay south of San Francisco itself.

### San Carlos

San Carlos takes its name indirectly from the Spanish word for fleas, "las Pulgas," a translation of the Lamchin people's own name for the area around Pulgas Creek.

### San Mateo

San Mateo borders four other Bay Area cities directly, Burlingame, Hillsborough, Foster City and Belmont, with San Francisco Bay along its own eastern edge.
