Altitude-Derated Cold Climate Replacements at Kings Beach
Kings Beach is a north shore vacation and home community. Every job here needs cold-climate gear and altitude adjustments. Heat pumps lose about 25 percent of rated output at this height. Gas furnaces need orifice kits above 2,000 feet. Fresh Air applies both on every Kings Beach job. We have served the Tahoe Basin since 2009. CSLB 945361.
