Why 5-Degree Rating Matters at 2,400 Feet
At 2,400 feet, Grass Valley can see cold snaps that drop well below what Sacramento valley towns see. Nevada County rarely hits single digits, but it happens. A cold-climate heat pump rated to 5 degrees holds 100 percent of its output at that temperature. Below that, the backup heat strip kicks in. Fresh Air sizes the backup strip so it covers the gap without oversizing and raising your install cost.
High-elevation installs also need attention to unit placement. Snow and ice can block the outdoor coil. Fresh Air positions your unit to allow airflow and easy clearing after storms. Our crews have worked in the Grass Valley area for over 15 years.
