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

Jeremy was thorough, insightful and friendly.
I replaced an incorrectly sized circuit breaker and a defective dual-run capacitor for the outdoor A/C condenser. First, I removed the existing double-pole 15-amp breaker and verified the electrical wiring and compatibility with the panel. I then installed a double-pole breaker rated at 17.5A MCA / 25A maximum overcurrent protection, as specified by the condenser manufacturer. Next, I replaced the failed 35/5 µF dual-run capacitor, which tested below acceptable levels, with a new properly rated capacitor. After restoring power, I tested the condenser operation, checked the compressor and fan motor amperage, and ensured the breaker held without tripping. Proper cooling performance was confirmed. Note that further diagnosis may be needed if the breaker continues to trip.
I inspected the supply air ducts in the downstairs kitchen and dining room, finding pink fiberglass insulation exposed inside the registers. Removing the registers revealed multiple openings and tears in the inner duct liner, consistent with possible rodent activity. Due to limited access, the full extent of the damage couldn't be determined. I recommended a professional rodent inspection and ceiling access to fully assess the damage. This will allow for a complete inspection of the duct runs, evaluation of the damage, and an accurate repair or replacement recommendation.
$1000 deposit, 70% upon arrival, and the balance upon startup. A 4% credit card fee applies. I installed a Carrier Comfort 4 TON Up To 15.2-18 SEER2 Inverter Heat Pump Condenser R454B, along with a Carrier Residential Warranty. The system includes a 4 TON 48K BTU Air Handler Unit with a Side Discharge R454B, dual voltage, and a WiFi Thermostat. Additional services included CAP GAS LINE, blow-out of the existing condensation line, condenser pad, disconnect box, electrical power whip, breaker, filter base, FAU power cord, flush line-set, insulated return cavity, supply plenum, SS2-Secondary Safety Switch, LA County Permit, and HERS Testing.
I inspected the Rheem 3-ton RTU after the indoor blower was reported running without the compressor or condenser fan. Upon testing, the dual run capacitor was found to have failed, with measured values of approximately 0.027 and 0.025 µF, significantly below the rated 45/5 µF. This failure is preventing the outdoor fan and compressor from operating. I recommended replacing the capacitor, and post-repair, cooling operation should be verified to ensure proper functionality.
50% deposit upon job start and 50% balance upon completion.
Mr. Martinez was my service technician. He explained everything perfectly and we went over every thing that needed to be discussed and we both agreed on a solution to minimize the work and to get a perspective conclusion to the work needed. I sat there and listened to his explanation we agreed I explained to him that I did call in June July and August to get the issue resolved when it occurred. I finally got a response September 8 and we got the issue taken care of. I know he was here a long time and I provided refreshments to him on request and make sure he was hydrated and when he left, I explained to him that I was gonna give him a great review because he did take the time to listen I hope this review explains everything. This man did. Edward is an excellent employee, Mr. Carrasco.
Very happy
