Types of HVAC Replacement Services We Offer
Ductless Mini Split Replacement
We replace mini splits when existing systems fail to deliver consistent zone-level comfort or when ongoing repairs become increasingly costly. Mini split systems offer precise temperature control for individual rooms and are ideal for homes in Los Angeles without existing ductwork or with home additions that need supplemental cooling and heating. Replacing outdated mini splits also helps improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
Central AC Replacement
Most central air conditioning systems have a lifespan of 12–15 years, and aging equipment can lead to poor airflow, noisy operation, and recurring repair costs. Our HVAC replacement services in Los Angeles cover complete central AC system upgrades that meet today’s SEER standards, provide cleaner filtration, and improve air distribution through properly sized ductwork and system calibration.
Heater Replacement
Older electric heaters may lack the efficiency of newer models, while outdated components can pose a fire risk or contribute to rising electricity costs. In Los Angeles, where temperature dips still call for dependable heating, replacing worn-out heating units ensures improved safety, responsive operation, and quieter performance, especially when paired with smart thermostats and zoning systems.
Furnace Replacement
Furnace replacement is often the right decision when homeowners in Los Angeles face ignition issues, short-cycling, or poor indoor air quality tied to aging or oversized units. Furnaces typically last around 15–20 years with routine HVAC maintenance. Furnace replacement improves efficiency, reduces emissions, and provides quieter operation. We install modern units with variable speed blowers and high AFUE ratings to help clients stay comfortable and meet California energy code requirements.
Heat Pump Replacement
Heat pump replacement offers a cost-effective upgrade for clients seeking both heating and cooling from a single system. These systems are well-suited for Los Angeles’ mild winters and can become inefficient when internal components like reversing valves or compressors wear out. Replacing a heat pump often reduces electricity usage and provides more stable indoor temperatures, especially when upgrading to models with enhanced cold-weather performance and smart defrost cycles.
Factors to Consider Before Replacing HVAC in Los Angeles
System Planning
- System Size & Efficiency: Oversized or undersized HVAC systems lead to uneven cooling, short cycling, and poor efficiency. Recently, a client of ours upgraded from a central AC in a 1200 sq ft home to a more efficient two-zone mini split system after adding an office and guest room.
- Home Construction Type: Duct layout, insulation, and window quality affect equipment selection.
- Installation Costs: Beyond the unit itself, consider ductwork modifications and electrical upgrades.
- Budget: 5 ton HVAC unit cost, and replacement of AC unit varies depending on the model and setup.
- Future Plans: Planning a home addition? A 3000 sq ft house AC unit may be necessary vs. a 2000 sq ft air conditioner.
