What Harris County does
to a microwave.

Where microwaves sit in Harris County: family houses, trim kits and drawers, kitchens that host.

All of Houston

Family houses

Children press microwave buttons for fun and slam its door mid-cycle, so a unit that seems broken is first checked for a child lock or a demo mode before the board or the interlocks are tested.

Trim kits and drawers

Trim kits give a built-in microwave the airflow it needs, and a custom panel that closes off the vent slots makes the unit stop mid-cycle on its thermal cutout, which the repair checks before any part is changed.

Kitchens that host

Households that host often keep a microwave in a pool house or an outdoor kitchen, and only a unit made for that setting belongs there; an indoor microwave outside takes humidity into its board and rust onto its latch.

Bellaire

Bellaire, known as the "City of Homes," was founded in 1908 on part of William Marsh Rice's ranch and incorporated in 1918.

Bunker Hill Village

Half of Bunker Hill Village's homes were built in 1991 or later, and a third date from 2000 on.

Greater Heights

Houston Heights began as one of the early planned communities in Texas, a streetcar suburb set 23 feet higher than the city of Houston.

Hunters Creek Village

Its roughly 1,640 homes are essentially all detached houses, and half of them were built in 1980 or later.

Kingwood

Known since its opening by the slogan "The Livable Forest," Kingwood had only a few thousand residents in 1976.

Memorial

Under Memorial's tall trees the power returns in stops and starts after a storm, the pattern that blows a microwave's fuse or leaves its display blank until the unit is checked.

Piney Point Village

A 12-room mansion on Blalock Road serves as city hall, bought to avoid paying high rent for offices.

River Oaks

A River Oaks kitchen may hold a speed oven and a microwave drawer on a whole-house generator, and after a storm the question is whether each came back from the switchover with its board and clock intact.

Tanglewood

Before houses went up, Tanglewood was coastal prairie swept by regular grass fires that kept trees from taking hold.

West University

On these narrow lots newer houses fit a microwave drawer into the island and a microwave hood combination over the cooking surface, and both work hard for families who cook most nights.
