Local context

What do El Cajon homes need?

East County homes in El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, and Alpine see summer heat that pushes heat pump cooling demand hard in July and August. High-SEER units and properly sized systems perform well here. Undersized equipment runs long and may miss setpoint. Oversized equipment short-cycles. Older East County homes often have electrical panels at or near capacity, and a heat pump installation may require a subpanel or panel upgrade. Mini-splits work well for room additions, converted garages, and older homes where adding or extending ductwork is not practical.
