They (Habs) should grow very well in Orange County. The Red Savina Habanero that made it into the Guinness Book was grown in Ventura County, just a bit north of you. I grow Habs in Lompoc (even further north), but the heat has never equaled Habs grown even a little further inland. In Chiles, Doug P.S. O.T. Lompoc has been assigned it's own vinticultural area, Santa Rita Hills. Look for it on a wine bottle near you. (Just a little local pride).
