What makes heat pump replacement different in North County Inland San Diego?
Vista, San Marcos, and Fallbrook replacements span aging low-SEER equipment and units that were never sized to inland heat. An oversized replacement short-cycles, while an undersized one runs long and may never hit setpoint on a 90s afternoon in Escondido or Ramona. The contractor should redo the load calculation rather than matching the old nameplate.

Inland hill-and-valley city a few miles from the coast with warm summers, mild winters, and a broad mix of older ranch homes and newer subdivisions.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
