Humidity-Ready Units for West Sacramento Homes
West Sacramento sits close to the Sacramento River and the Delta. That means more moisture in the air, especially in spring and fall. A unit that is too large will short-cycle and fail to pull humidity from your home. Fresh Air sizes every unit to handle the latent load, not just the air temperature. We have done 900+ installs since 2009 and hold CSLB #945361.
Variable-Speed Option
Variable-speed units run at low output for long cycles. Long cycles pull more moisture. Better comfort on humid Delta days.

Why Latent Load Matters Near the Delta
Latent load is the energy needed to remove moisture from the air. Homes near the Delta carry a higher latent load than inland homes of the same size. A unit sized only for heat and cooling will cycle off before it pulls enough moisture. Your home hits the set point on the thermostat but still feels sticky. Fresh Air includes latent load in every sizing check at no extra cost.
West Sacramento homes also vary in duct condition. Older ducts can leak 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air into the attic. We inspect ducts at the free estimate and flag any issues before we quote the final job.
