That's not a throwaway stat — that tells me exactly what equipment specs and efficiency targets your home can't skip. And with labor running at 1.32× the national rate here in CA, a suspiciously low quote often signals someone's skimping somewhere. Get at least three bids, make sure every one comes with a proper load calculation, and use this number as your gut-check going in. Don't get pressured before you feel confident in the scope.
