AC Replacement

Swap an aging or failed system for a high-SEER2, variable-speed AC — quieter, more efficient, evenly cooled.

Heat Pump Option

West Los Angeles heat pump planning: West Los Angeles heat-pump replacements often differ between older houses with central ducts and remodels with limited equipment clearances. Before choosing equipment, review room-by-room loads, indoor air-handler space, return-air sizing, electrical capacity and the outdoor-unit location. If an ADU or extension is involved, evaluate it as a separate load instead of automatically increasing central tonnage. A written proposal should state what happens to the old furnace and condenser, whether a thermostat is included, permit responsibilities, and any duct or finish work excluded. Confirm the actual electric utility account and rebate conditions rather than assuming every Westside address receives the same program. For a broader system comparison, see the Los Angeles heat pump guide.

Ductwork & Airflow

A new AC is only as good as its ducts. We test static pressure, then seal and repair leaky or undersized runs.

Permits & code

Permits, Title 24 & HERS on the Westside.

For West LA homes inside the City of Los Angeles, AC installs are permitted through LADBS and must meet California Title 24, usually with HERS testing to verify duct leakage and refrigerant charge. If your home is in a bordering incorporated city — Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City or Santa Monica — permitting runs through that city instead, and the utility is Southern California Edison rather than LADWP. We handle whichever applies and pull the permit as part of the job. Use your city page above for the exact details.

Rebates & financing

Rebates & financing in West LA.

West LA is served by LADWP, which runs consumer rebate programs that can include qualifying high-efficiency equipment — especially heat pumps. Amounts may apply but vary by equipment, documentation and funding, and are subject to LADWP rules, so they aren't guaranteed. Neighboring SCE cities have their own programs. We review current eligibility during your estimate.

We are not a tax advisor; please consult a qualified professional for tax questions.

  2. 2Load and duct review: document rooms, windows, insulation, duct condition, static pressure, return air and airflow complaints.
  3. 3Equipment comparison: compare AC replacement, heat pump, ductless mini split and ductwork repair against comfort goals and budget.
  4. 4Permit and HERS planning: confirm LADBS or city-specific permit steps, Title 24 requirements and HERS testing when applicable.
  5. 5Written scope: confirm equipment, ductwork, electrical items, exclusions, schedule assumptions and estimate details before installation.
