What makes heat pump repair different in East County San Diego?
El Cajon, Santee, and La Presa heat can push compressors to their limit for hours. A failure during that stretch may be a part, or it may be a system that was never sized for the basin. The contractor should measure superheat, subcooling, and amp draw, and report whether the equipment can meet setpoint or is simply running long.
