What do Palomar Mountain HVAC systems need?
Mountain communities — Julian, Alpine, Ramona, Pine Valley, Campo — see real winter. Hard freezes, snow in some years, long heating seasons. Heat pumps still work well down to 5°F but backup heat matters here more than anywhere else in the county. We sometimes recommend a heat pump + gas furnace dual-fuel setup in these zones.

A full system replacement — new condenser, air handler, lineset, and thermostat — ranges from $6,500 to $15,000 depending on tonnage, SEER2 rating, and whether ductwork modifications are needed.
