Always cool downstairs even in the summer. We have to use an electric heater during the winter to keep the chill off downstairs. The unit is on the roof behind the chimney. Yes, they had to have a crane to put the new one on last year.

Dampers should fix some of your issues. readjust them for the winter months. You can have electronic ones install so you never have to craw into the attic for adjustment. I am not sure if that's worth the money since you live in Dana Point and almost never need AC.
