Los Angeles furnaces sit idle for most of the year. When temperatures drop in December and January, systems that have not run since February suddenly fire up for the first time in months. Igniters that sat cold crack when they heat up rapidly. Flame sensors coated in dust fail to detect combustion. Gas valves that were not cycled in nine months stick closed. This start-stop pattern creates a spike in emergency heating repair calls during the first cold snap. Homes in older neighborhoods like Boyle Heights, Leimert Park, and Atwater Village face higher failure rates because their furnaces were installed before modern efficiency standards required better components.
