Malibu weather and what it does to your system
The coastal strip stays mild year round, so cooling loads are light and salt does more damage than heat ever will, while canyons a short drive inland turn hot and still. Fire season smoke funnels into those canyons, making tight ductwork and capable filtration more valuable than extra tonnage. That is what shapes how we scope smart thermostat visits here, the starting checklist always accounts for heat load, dust, and the run time a system logs in Malibu and the coastal Santa Monica Mountains.
