HVAC design for Tujunga

The California Energy Commission's design-day data for Tujunga gives the outdoor conditions a Manual J load calculation uses: a summer design temperature of 98°F and a winter design temperature of 20°F.

Summer design (1%)98°F dry bulb / 69°F wet bulb
Winter design (median of extremes)20°F
Daily temperature range36°F
Elevation1,820 ft

Heating governs here. Choose a cold-climate heat pump that keeps its rated capacity near 20°F, and protect water lines and the water heater from freezing.

Electrical service from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP)

If the load calculation shows you need a service upgrade, a second meter or a relocated service, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) handles that through its Electric Service Planning, separately from the building permit.
