Salt air is the defining factor on the OC coast — condenser coils, flues, and exposed fittings corrode measurably faster within a couple miles of the water. Older beach cottages in downtown Huntington and the Newport peninsula still carry prewar-era plumbing. Many coastal homes historically skipped AC and are now adding ductless systems as summers warm.
