Good to know in San Diego

Coastal San Diego is mild all year, while inland neighborhoods get much hotter in summer. Many older coastal homes have no central air, so mini-splits and window units are common.

For a home without ducts, ask about a ductless mini-split: it cools room by room without opening walls.

Before you call
