Local HVAC context

What do Valley Center HVAC systems need?

North County Inland gets hot. San Marcos, Escondido, and the surrounding foothills regularly hit 95°F to 105°F in July and August. Oversized systems short-cycle and waste money; undersized systems never catch up. We run proper Manual J load calcs and size for the worst-case afternoon, not a contractor rule of thumb.
