What Los Altos Hills does
to a range hood.

Its 2024 update extended the reach code to substantial remodels and asks for a circuit and a receptacle or junction box within five feet of each future electric cooking appliance.

The town says the hot, dry, windy weather that can trigger a PG&E public safety power shutoff has historically occurred there once or twice a year.

Every lot in Los Altos Hills must be at least one acre, and each may carry just one primary dwelling.

Gated communities

A standby generator's switchover can leave an electronic hood with a blank keypad or the wrong fan speed, and a reset at its breaker is tried before any board is ordered.

Custom hoods and inserts

A designed kitchen hides the hood's working part, an insert or liner, inside a canopy built to match the cabinetry, and a repair reaches the blower and the board from below without disturbing the plaster, wood or tile around it.

Family houses

Children reach for hood buttons and leave settings changed, so a fan that will not stop is first checked for a delay-off timer before the switch or the board is tested.

When a range hood
cannot wait in Los Altos Hills.

In Los Altos Hills as anywhere, these five mean nobody cooks beneath the range hood until a technician has looked at it: a grease fire in the pan or the hood, sparks from the blower or the lights, a hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips, or a hood coming away from the wall or the ceiling.
