Santa Monica moved to Clean Power Alliance electricity in February 2019, with a citywide default of 100 percent renewable supply. ## What Santa Monica does to a microwave. Santa Monica is a city of apartments: buildings of 5 to 19 units hold nearly 39 percent of its housing and detached houses only about 19 percent, per the 2020–2024 American Community Survey. The 1994 Northridge earthquake left many Santa Monica apartment buildings yellow-tagged or red-tagged. Between September and November, Santa Ana winds sometimes push hot, smoggy inland air out to the city's beaches. [All of Los Angeles](https://microwaverepair.center/locations/los-angeles/) ### On the water A microwave hood combination near salt water draws damp, briny air across its fan motor, and a fan that whines or starts slowly has rusting bearings, which are replaced before the motor seizes. ### Apartments and walk-ups Small kitchens have few outlets, and a microwave sharing a power strip with the toaster and the kettle trips breakers and strains its own fuse, so the visit looks at the outlet before the unit. ### Mixed housing Older houses on a mixed street often keep a countertop microwave on the one kitchen outlet, while newer ones give the hood combination its own circuit, and that difference explains many breakfast-time breaker trips. ## A visit in Santa Monica.
