Why is furnace repair different in Coastal San Diego?

Furnaces along the coast don't run as often, but that's part of the problem: months of sitting idle corrode ignitors and flame sensors faster than regular use would. Coastal homes in Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Oceanside still hit the low 40s overnight in January, and a furnace that hasn't been touched since last winter is the one that fails on the first cold morning. Furnace repair near me calls in this zone almost always come from systems that skipped fall maintenance.
