Heating and cooling in Van Nuys
A house might have one system for heat and another for cooling, or a heat pump that does both. Our HVAC repair covers all of it. A furnace that won't light is tested and written up the same way as an AC that won't cool, and you get a price you can say yes or no to before anything is fixed. For heaters, start with heating repair.
When the air conditioner is the problem
- It hums but won't start. Most often a dead capacitor, sometimes a seized fan motor.
- It runs all afternoon and the house stays warm. Often a packed outdoor coil, or a refrigerant charge run low from a leak.
- A rattle or a squeal. A rattle tends to be a loose panel or fan blade. A squeal usually points to a worn motor.
The AC repair page goes through the common faults one by one.

New air conditioning in Van Nuys
For an AC installation, the quote visit starts with a load calculation for each room, which sets the size of the new system. Central systems are covered on AC and furnace replacement. A house without ducts can take a ductless mini-split instead.
Air conditioning service
Service on a system that still works is a tune-up, priced on its own. Ask for that price when you call, before anything is booked. We rinse the coil and flush the drain line, and every reading lands on the record.
What happens on the visit
Send the form or call, and we text you an arrival window. You hear from us again once your technician sets off. At the door, shoe covers go on. The tests take about 45 minutes and cover the refrigerant pressures and the current each motor draws, all of it written down.
Then the record and a written repair price are yours to look over. Nothing begins until you say so. Most repairs are done on that visit. The truck carries the common parts, and you keep the one that came out.
Van Nuys questions
Does a new AC mean new ducts?
Not always. The quote visit checks the ducts you have and whether the return can feed the new unit. If they need sealing or a bigger return, the quote says so and prices it.
Can you fix a heat pump?
Yes, ducted and ductless. A heat pump that blows cold air when it should be heating often has its reversing valve stuck on the cooling side. The defrost control is the other usual suspect.
