What Piedmont does
to a home appliance.

During the 1920s the city was nicknamed the 'City of Millionaires' for having more millionaires per square mile than any other city in the country, and many of the mansions from that decade still stand in upper Piedmont.

The 1878 Wetmore House is among the oldest surviving structures in a city whose housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family, with very few multi-family buildings or secondary units.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Older housing stock

Plaster walls, floors that are no longer quite level and narrow doorways make an old house hard on appliances, so leveling feet are adjusted, doors are checked for an even seal, and a heavy unit is never pulled out farther than the floor can take.

Built-in and paneled suites

Built-in and panel-ready appliances hide their grilles, filters and seals behind cabinetry, and a maintenance visit reaches them through the kick plate or the maker's service access without scratching custom panels or sliding the unit out of its niche.

Mixed housing

Streets where old and new houses stand side by side hold appliances of every age, and a maintenance visit sorts them by age first, because a decade-old unit and last year's model follow different care chapters.

When a home appliance
cannot wait in Piedmont.

In Piedmont as anywhere, these five signs mean upkeep has waited too long and a hazard has started in the home, so the appliance stays off until it is looked at: a hot or burning-lint smell from the laundry, a gas smell at a cooking appliance, a supply hose leaking or bulging, a burning electrical smell, and a breaker that trips when the appliance runs.

All 17 problems
A quiet home laundry room with a front-loading vented machine standing still, its door closed and its display dark, a faint thin haze of pale smoke hanging near the round metal exhaust collar on the wall behind it, a crushed silver foil duct visible at the back, the power cord unplugged and lying on the floor, seen from the doorway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Hot or Burning Lint Smell in the Laundry Room: Stop the Cycle

6 causes, cheapest first

 An empty home kitchen at dusk with a stainless gas cooktop and a wall oven, every burner dark and every knob at off, the kitchen window and the back door both standing open to the evening, a yellow-handled gas shutoff valve visible low in an open cabinet beside the cooktop, seen from the hallway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Gas Smell Near the Oven or Burners: Get Out, Then Call

6 causes, cheapest first

 Low view behind a front-loading washer pulled slightly away from the wall in a home laundry room, a black rubber fill hose with a visible swollen bulge near its fitting and a thin stream of water spraying from it onto a tile floor, a spreading puddle, the hot and cold wall valves above. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Supply Hose Leaking or Bulging Behind an Appliance: Shut the Water Off

6 causes, cheapest first

 Close view of a white wall outlet low behind a stainless kitchen appliance, a plug half-seated in it with a faint brown scorch mark on the outlet face and a thin wisp of gray smoke rising, the dim kitchen beyond out of focus. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Burning Electrical Smell From an Appliance: Breaker Off First

6 causes, cheapest first

 An open gray electrical panel door on a garage wall, one breaker in the row sitting in the tripped middle position, a white upright freezer standing dark and silent on the concrete floor nearby, soft daylight from a side window. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk
