California is moving decisively toward heat pumps. Between updated Title 24 building energy standards and the ongoing transition away from older refrigerants under EPA rules, a heat pump isn’t just the energy-smart choice — it’s increasingly the future-proof one.
For LADWP customers in Los Angeles, the timing has never been better to act.
Don’t miss out. Check Rebate Availability.
These increased rates apply to qualifying equipment purchased and installed on or after November 1, 2025. The amount depends on the AHRI-matched system’s SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings.
Standard high-efficiency air conditioners may qualify for $100 to $120 per ton.

Our physical offices in Chatsworth and Simi Valley are staffed during regular business hours, but emergency repairs are dispatched any time, day or night. Call (818) 722-1332 for Los Angeles County or (805) 755-4074 for Ventura County.
Yes. Modern heat pumps operate efficiently at temperatures far below anything a Southern California winter produces. A properly sized heat pump provides both heating and cooling in a single system and, subject to program availability, may qualify for LADWP rebates of $1,000 to $1,250 per ton on qualifying central ducted systems, or $1,500 to $2,500 per ton on qualifying ductless mini-split systems that serve the entire home.
Set your HVAC system to recirculation mode to limit outdoor air intake, upgrade to MERV 13 or higher filters if your system supports them, and schedule a professional duct cleaning if smoke has entered your home. Affordable Heating and Air also installs whole-home air purifiers, such as iWave and REME HALO, for continuous protection against wildfire smoke and other airborne pollutants.
As a general guide, if your system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than $500, repair is usually the right choice. If the system is 15 or more years old and a repair would cost more than half the price of replacement, replacement typically makes better financial sense, especially with current LADWP heat pump rebates available to offset the cost. Our technicians provide an honest assessment based on your system’s actual condition.

Our Chatsworth office covers the San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles, including Northridge, Granada Hills, Porter Ranch, Van Nuys, Glendale, and Santa Clarita.

I inspected the downstairs HVAC system, a 2021 American Standard Silver 3 Ton Condenser, due to loud compressor noise, rattling, and excessive vibration. The compressor was straining during startup, producing excessive noise and vibration. I checked electrical components, amperage, and refrigerant pressures, finding suction pressure at 100 PSI, head pressure at 312 PSI, and subcooling at 0.9°F (target 10°F). The capacitor was fine, but the readings indicated a refrigerant-flow issue. I recommended replacing the compressor due to its mechanical condition. Alternatively, I suggested a temporary repair involving a new hard-start kit, capacitor replacement, and refrigerant top-off, though this is not guaranteed to resolve the issues.
Today, I returned to complete furnace repairs and continued system testing. I replaced the OEM furnace control board due to visible heat damage and deterioration. After servicing electrical connections, the furnace successfully completed the full heating sequence and produced a stable burner flame. I verified natural-gas inlet pressure at 6.08 in. WC under load and manifold pressure at 3.49 in. WC, consistent with specifications. The temperature rise of 41.2°F was within the manufacturer’s range. All thermostat calls for heating, cooling, and fan operation responded correctly. The furnace, manufactured in October 2005, is 21 years old, and future unrelated component failures are possible. Warranty applies only to the specific parts and workmanship provided.

I was called for a service on a 2.5 TON package unit where the air wasn’t blowing into the house despite the cooling being activated. Upon arrival, I conducted a thorough inspection and identified that the blower motor was the root cause of the issue. The blower motor was found to be malfunctioning, preventing the unit from circulating air properly. After confirming the diagnosis, I replaced the faulty blower motor with a new one. Post-replacement, I tested the unit to ensure it was functioning correctly and that air was now being circulated efficiently. The job was completed successfully, and the system is now operating as intended.
Upon inspection, I found that three of the four package units had leaks and severely corroded condenser coils. These R22 units were out of warranty, and attempts to order new coils were unsuccessful as they were deemed obsolete. The unit closest to the street was in good condition and only required a deep cleaning. I completed a thorough deep cleaning for this unit and proposed a replacement option, which I have detailed in my report to the owner.
Javier was excellent I’m still thinking about the job if I’m done do it or not but he was very efficient.
Weston was a professional and friendly tech. He identified the issue with my AC and repaired it. Thank you!
Javier is incredibly professional and attentive. He diagnosed everything expertly and was clear with the issue. Very impressed with every aspect of service. Javier was thorough and specific about every issue. Very happy with how everything went.
