Continuous clicking on gas cooktops in Redwood City is uncommon thanks to the warm, dry microclimate. When clicking does occur, Cal Water at 200 ppm TDS makes mineral boil-over residue the most likely cause — higher mineral content than softer Peninsula cities. The warm conditions prevent moisture-related clicking in most neighborhoods. Redwood Shores waterfront homes face mild salt-air deposits on switch contacts. Tech-employee homes with premium cooktops have sealed ignition systems that resist contamination. Food debris and grease accumulation from regular cooking remains the universal clicking cause across all housing types and climates.
