AC Installation for Valley Center homes, done by vetted San Diego County technicians.

Inland heat loads need a real Manual J, not a rule of thumb.
Compare model numbers, matched-system ratings, sizing method, duct and electrical allowances, line-set and drain work, permit responsibility, commissioning, removal, payment schedule, exclusions, and separate labor and parts warranty terms.
Ask how the contractor evaluated the home load, including insulation, windows, orientation, air leakage, occupancy, and ducts. The company should explain the calculation and any assumptions instead of relying only on floor area.
