In my Pasadena place, we tried to turn on the heat once. Turned out the furnace had been busted for years.

My apartment in Westwood last year had a heater but no AC, used the heater a grand total of zero times. Makes you wonder why they ever installed it in the first place...

To be fair, if it hits 50 around here people start installing snow chains and dying of hypothermia.

a heater, but not a/c, is part of the building code in LA.

my apartment has a heater and no a/c, but has a flow-through design that naturally keeps it cool in the summer. my heater and my portable a/c unit each get used about 2 weeks a year. the weather is really that great here.

Requiring a furnace is weird.
