Air Cove HVAC

Heating and cooling that works the way it should

Air Cove HVAC looks after the systems that keep a Los Angeles house comfortable: air conditioning repair, new air conditioners, furnaces and wall heaters, heat pumps, ductless mini splits, ductwork, dryer vents and swamp coolers.

We start every job the same way. We look at the whole system, find what is actually wrong and tell you what it will take to fix. If a repair is the right answer, we make it. If the system has reached the end of its life, we say so and explain the choices.

We are licensed and insured, we pick up the phone seven days a week, and we cover 25 areas from Long Beach and the South Bay to the Westside, the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys, Pasadena and the Conejo Valley.

Replacing a system in Los Angeles

What a replacement involves here

A new air conditioner or furnace in Los Angeles is more than a swap. This is the path, in order, and we handle every step.

  1. The permit

    Replacing a furnace or an air conditioner needs a mechanical permit from your city's building department. In the City of Los Angeles most changeouts go through an express permit. We pull it as part of the job.

  2. The right size

    We size the new system to the house, not to the label on the old one. Insulation, windows, sun and the ducts all change what the house needs.

  3. The Title 24 test

    California's energy code usually adds an independent HERS test after a changeout. The rater checks the ducts for leaks and, depending on your climate zone, the refrigerant charge.

  4. The new refrigerants

    New air conditioners and heat pumps now use R-454B or R-32 instead of R-410A. We explain what that means for your system before you choose.

Cost

What moves the price

Here is what decides the price.

  1. What is actually wrong

    A capacitor and a compressor are both repairs, and they are nowhere near the same price. That is why we diagnose before we quote.

  2. The size of the house

    A bigger house or more rooms to heat and cool needs more capacity, and the equipment price follows.

  3. The ducts

    Ducts that leak or are too small can add sealing or replacement to a new system, and Title 24 tests them.

  4. Access and electrical

    An attic furnace, a long line set or an electrical panel with no spare capacity all add time and parts.

Questions

Common questions

What is the typical cost of installing a new HVAC system in Los Angeles?

It depends on the house more than the equipment. The size of the home, whether the ducts can be reused, where the furnace or air handler sits, the electrical panel and the permit and Title 24 test all move the number. We price your house after we have seen it. Our guide to AC replacement cost walks through each of those factors.

What is the $5000 rule for HVAC?

It is a rule of thumb for deciding between repair and replacement. Multiply the age of the system by the repair price. Above 5,000, replacing is usually worth pricing. We use it as a starting point and then look at the refrigerant, the condition of the ducts and the rest of the system.

Can I legally install my own HVAC?

Replacing a furnace or an air conditioner in California needs a mechanical permit from the city and, under Title 24, usually an independent HERS test. Handling refrigerant also needs EPA certification. That is why we pull the permit and arrange the test as part of every changeout.

Do you cover my city?

We work in 25 areas across Los Angeles County and eastern Ventura County, from Long Beach and Torrance to Santa Monica, the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys, Pasadena, Glendale, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. The full list is above. If you are just outside it, call and ask.
