What Palo Alto does
to an oven.

North of Oregon Expressway, Palo Alto is filled with older Craftsman and California Colonial homes, a few from the 1890s and most from the first four decades of the 20th century.

South of the expressway, many houses are Eichler-designed or Eichler-style homes built in the first 20 years after World War II.

The city runs its own electric distribution network, tied into PG&E's transmission system at interconnection points, and generates power jointly with others through the Northern California Power Agency.

NOAA's Palo Alto station averages 65.8 days a year at 80 degrees F or above and 80 nights at 40 degrees F or below, by its 1991-2020 normals.

Specified kitchens

Panel-free fronts, flush installation and European hardware mean the oven door must sit exactly in line with the cabinets, so a hinge or gasket repair ends with the door aligned to the joinery.

Newer developments

Developers repeat one kitchen package across a subdivision, so the same wall oven model reaches the same age on every street, and when one fails its neighbors often follow in the same season.

Family houses

A family wall oven bakes nearly every day, so its bake element, door hinges and gasket wear out ahead of the oven's age. Uneven baking or a door that no longer closes flush usually points to one of them.
