Davide and his crew were really great! They were able to complete an entire system replacement in one day and were really professional. 10/10 would hire again for HVAC work.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We had them come out to evaluate and recommend a new system for our house. We were given estimates for a gas system and an electric system, the electric system was cheaper but more efficient so we chose it. We were told the system would require the replacement of all existing ductwork. After choosing the system, we got a new estimate about $4K higher than the first one, which we figured was for the duct replacement. The job was “completed” without replacing the ducts, which we brought to the attention of the project manager. She told us she wanted to “make it right” by either returning some of our money or fixing the problem, but she continued to dodge our phone calls and lie to us about why she wasn’t calling us back. She did neither, saying she could not find the original quote, and she said they would replace the ducts for another $8k. The people who came to the house were great, but the office woman was a nightmare. I would never hire this company again and would not recommend them to anyone. Absolutely terrible.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Very nice, and professional.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Highly recommend! We recently had an issue with the air conditioning in our apartment, and the technician who came out was absolutely excellent. He arrived exactly on time, was incredibly knowledgeable, and diagnosed and fixed the issue quickly. It is such a relief to have the AC working perfectly again. If you need reliable HVAC service, look no further! Book with Murad!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Karma and Jesus just finished up with my 89-dollar tuneup. Which was perfect for my relatively new ac/heater operating with new issues. They were kind and respectful and explained things well. I did not feel like I was being massively upsold on things or being deceived in any way (which often feels like the norm for home maintenance!). I was given clear information in a way I could understand. They also wore shoe covers in my house without my having to ask. I would definitely ask them to come back again if I needed anything.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Murada from Affordable Heating and Air saved us during this heat wave! Not only was he kind and respectful the whole time, he did not give up when there was no clear solution on what was wrong with the system. When other companies could not locate the problem they gave up but Murada was able to get to the bottom of the issue, find several factors working against the system causing the hot air. After identifying all the problems, he fixed everything. Highly recommend! THANK YOU!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
After years of trying to resolve the many issues with my air conditioning, I finally decided that it's time to replace the entire thing. After learning about the LADWP rebate for new mini splits, I called around and found Affordable Heating and Air on reddit. Their technician, Roy, spent an hour at my house discussing the options, planning out locations and size of the mini splits, mini split brands, reviewing the entire permitting process, and scheduling the install date. I've talked to several HVAC/AC companies and this is the first time that a technician took the time to explain (and even discuss the rebate!!). Their install crew spent two days doing demo, install, properly hooking up the electrical and plumbing to code, and even took the time to re-install the sidewall they had to remove in my closet! They were incredibly nice guys, and they worked so incredibly hard to make sure everything was aligned perfectly. Thank you again to Affordable AC, because life with air conditioning feels like a luxury!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Very professional and their prices were excellent (they offered many different options). They are also a woman-owned business which I fully support. Benji guided us through the process and even picked his phone up on Sunday to answer questions!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
So grateful that I decided to call Affordable Heating and Air. Jeremy pinpointed exactly what was wrong with my AC unit and fixed it swiftly for a reasonable price. As a woman, I’m always afraid that because I don’t understand exactly how something works in my home, I’m going to get scammed into paying for more for work on my house than what really needs to get done, but it felt so good to know that I could trust Jeremy, and he explained exactly what was going on and exactly the part that needed to be replaced. He helped me understand what was wrong and it made me feel really confident about the service he provided. He showed up at exactly the time quoted fixed the problem and was gone within an hour. So kind and so professional. I highly recommend both Affordable Heating and Air and my technician, Jeremy Russell. I’ll definitely be calling them again for HVAC maintenance annually nowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.

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.

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
