What Santa Monica's climate does to your system
The marine layer holds Santa Monica cool through much of the year, so peak cooling loads are short and modest and modulating equipment avoids the short cycling that plagues oversized systems here. Salt air is the dominant maintenance factor, corroding uncoated coils and cabinet hardware faster than anything else on the Westside. That sets the scope of a ac installation visit before the truck even leaves the yard, our starting checklist already accounts for heat load, dust, and run time the way they actually hit in Santa Monica and the Westside of Los Angeles.
