What Palo Alto does
to a wine cooler.

Unlike almost all of Northern California, which depends on PG&E, Palo Alto gets its electricity, gas and water from its own municipal department, City of Palo Alto Utilities.

The city ties into the PG&E transmission system at interconnection points, and some shared poles carry cross arms marked PGE on one side and CPA on the other.

South of Oregon Expressway, most houses went up in the twenty years after World War II, many of them Eichlers or Eichler-style designs.

Temperatures reach 90 degrees F on about 12 days a year, and the record, 108 degrees F, was set on September 6, 2022.

Built-in wine columns

A panel-ready wine cooler carries a custom wood frame around its glass, and the added weight can sag the hinge until the seal no longer closes, so hinge adjustment is part of any gasket repair there.

Newer developments

Newer houses in planned communities often include a wine cooler slot in the island or the wet bar, and builder models installed by the dozen tend to show the same worn part along a whole street within a few years.

Family houses

In a family house the wine cooler often holds juice boxes and sodas along with the wine, and a door opened many times a day keeps the cabinet swinging above its setting, so the bottles meant for keeping are best moved to the lowest racks.
