What makes a heat pump inspection different in North County Inland San Diego?
Poway, Rancho Bernardo, and Escondido sellers and buyers want to know whether a system will handle another inland summer. That is a capacity and condition question, not a remaining-life percentage. The contractor should run the unit against a calculated load, note short-cycling from oversizing, and flag undersizing that would run long and miss setpoint.
