For most LA homes, a heat pump is the better choice. LA's mild winters mean a heat pump handles both heating and cooling efficiently. You eliminate a gas furnace, qualify for large rebates, and get a single system for year-round comfort. Traditional AC + furnace still makes sense if you have existing gas infrastructure, high heating load, or strict budget constraints. We assess your home during the free consultation.

Full replacement ranges from $7,500 to $18,000 depending on home size, equipment (standard AC, high-efficiency heat pump, or ductless mini-split), ductwork condition, and permit requirements. After stacking TECH, LADWP, and federal rebates, many homeowners bring their net cost down by $3,000–$11,000.

TECH Clean California is a statewide incentive program offering rebates of $1,000–$3,000 on qualified heat pump HVAC systems installed by certified contractors. HVAC in LA is a TECH-certified installer. Eligibility depends on your utility provider and equipment efficiency. We handle the application as part of the installation.

Yes. We service customers throughout the LADWP service territory and help them claim LADWP residential rebates on qualifying high-efficiency AC and heat pump systems. LADWP rebates run $200–$1,500 depending on equipment and efficiency rating.

We recommend annual maintenance — AC tune-up each spring (March–May) before the heat season, and heating tune-up each fall (September–November). Systems over 10 years old or those with heavy use benefit from twice-yearly service. Regular maintenance extends equipment life, preserves warranty, and prevents summer or winter breakdowns.

Our 22-point inspection covers refrigerant pressure and superheat, condenser and evaporator coil inspection and cleaning, capacitor and contactor test, condensate drain flush, blower wheel inspection, thermostat calibration, and a full electrical safety check. You receive a written report with every measurement.

Yes. Mini-splits are ideal for older bungalows, Spanish-style homes, ADUs, and room additions where running ductwork is invasive or impossible. A single outdoor unit pairs with one or more indoor heads for room-by-room comfort. Installation is typically one to two days with minimal wall penetration.
