Heating in California: what's different
Heating across California depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–6). Furnaces in mixed climates run for several months, and ice storms or cold snaps put sudden load on them. Annual safety checks on burners, venting and heat exchangers are worthwhile.
In California specifically: inland heat. Central Valley and Inland Empire homes need strong cooling in long, hot summers.
California licenses HVAC contractors through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), usually under the C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning classification. Common systems in California: Gas furnace + central AC, Heat pumps, Ductless mini-splits, High-MERV filtration.
