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.
Excellent customer service from Affordable AC for my second mini-split unit. Edin and Brandon did a great job on the install. Fast, clean, and friendly. Thanks Affordable team, you are highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
As a female homeowner, I've been lied to by contractors quite a bit. Murad Alnimri was my latest dishonest visitor. He told me that repairing my AC unit wasn't wise, and that it would cost me $3k to do (he made sure to emphasize that "Affordable" was in the name of the business!) The next quote I got was lower than half that price. He also promised that if I bought a new unit, LADWP would rebate somewhere between $6-7K. I looked online and the rebates would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $600. The contractor I ended up going with also suspects that someone might have intentionally loosened a cap so that my coolant leak would be worse. Use caution, and do not trust.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It pains me to write this review, but I feel compelled to share my experience so that other homeowners can make informed decisions. In March, I contacted this company because of its outstanding customer reviews. My family was interested in installing mini-split systems in our living room and bedroom. The company sent technician Rob Blankenship to evaluate our home and recommend appropriate equipment. Based on his assessment of the space, Rob recommended specific units and assured us that they would cool the rooms exceptionally well. In fact, he stated that the systems would make the rooms so cold that we would likely want to turn them off. Trusting his expertise as the company's representative, we moved forward with the installation and invested more than $7,000. After installation, the bedroom unit performed well. Unfortunately, the living room unit did not. Even after running continuously for four hours at its lowest setting of 64 degrees, the living room temperature remained in the 80s. Concerned, we requested a follow-up visit from Rob. When Rob returned, his assessment was noticeably different. He apologized and acknowledged that he had overpromised and underdelivered. He assured us that the company would "make it right," which gave us hope that the issue would be resolved. However, weeks passed without any meaningful follow-up. When I reached out to Rob, I was informed that the solution would be to install a larger, more powerful unit. What was most frustrating was that the additional cost would fall on us as the customer. This was difficult to understand, especially when the original recommendation came from the company's own technician. From May through August, I repeatedly contacted the company seeking a resolution. Initially, I spoke with Ryan, who indicated he would discuss the matter with management and follow up. After numerous calls over several months, I was finally able to speak with Gene in mid-August. He explained that the ownership team had reviewed the situation and was willing to install a more powerful unit, but at an additional cost of more than $4,000. I explained that the issue stemmed from an incorrect recommendation provided by the company's representative and that I believed some form of refund or accommodation should be considered. After all, we had already spent over $7,000 based on professional guidance that ultimately proved inadequate for the space. Gene's response was that the contract does not honor verbal representations. While I understand the importance of written contracts, I believe customers should be able to rely on the expertise and recommendations provided by a company's trained employees. The original recommendation did not adequately meet the cooling requirements of the living room, and the proposed resolution effectively required the customer to spend thousands more to correct that mistake. Although the company offered to cover the labor costs, I do not believe that adequately addresses the underlying issue. At the end of the day, we simply wanted a system that would properly cool our living room as it was represented it would. Instead, we were left with a unit that does not perform as promised and a proposed solution that requires a significant additional investment. This experience has been deeply disappointing. When an employee makes an incorrect recommendation, I believe a company has a responsibility to stand behind its work and take meaningful steps to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Situations like this make it difficult for homeowners to feel confident that they can trust companies to provide honest, accurate recommendations and stand behind them when problems arise.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.

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.


Upon arrival, I conducted a comprehensive inspection of the system to ensure its optimal functionality. I verified that all components were operational and tested each feature to confirm proper performance. The system's response times, connectivity, and output were meticulously examined. I also checked for any signs of wear or potential issues that could affect future performance. After ensuring everything was working as intended, I provided a detailed report of my findings and recommendations for maintenance. This thorough assessment guarantees that the system will continue to operate efficiently.


I addressed the issue by clearing the obstructed primary condensate drain line. This involved performing a nitrogen blowout to ensure all blockages were removed. Following this, I applied a Viper pan treatment to prevent future buildup and maintain proper drainage. The condensation visible in the photos originates from the breather, not the drain termination. This treatment is designed to support efficient drainage and minimize the risk of future clogs. The work ensures optimal performance and longevity of the system.


Our team recently completed a comprehensive repair service that addressed multiple issues to ensure optimal functionality. We began with a thorough diagnostic assessment to identify the root causes of the problems. Our skilled technicians then proceeded with the necessary repairs, utilizing high-quality parts to guarantee durability and reliability. We take pride in our meticulous attention to detail and our commitment to customer satisfaction. As part of our service, we offer a 30-day parts and labor warranty on all repairs performed. Payment options include cash, check, or card, with a 50% deposit required upfront and the remaining balance due upon completion of the work.

We successfully removed the old unit using a crane. Following this, we installed a new 3-ton gas-electric ultra Lonox package unit, also with the aid of a crane. We then installed a new gas flex line equipped with a shut-out valve. Additionally, we completed the installation of new electrical wiring, a whip, and a disconnect switch. A new thermostat was also installed. After installation, we started up the unit and verified its proper operation. The warranty covers 10 years on parts and one year on labor.
I meticulously performed a comprehensive deep cleaning on the mini-split air handler, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. This involved removing and thoroughly cleaning the air filter, inspecting and cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, and ensuring all components were free from dust and debris. I also cleaned the drain pan and checked for any signs of leakage. Additionally, I inspected the refrigerant levels and ensured the system was operating at peak efficiency. The entire process was completed with precision and care to maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the mini-split air handler.
Very happy
They were able to book a technician to come out and service our AC the next day. They ordered the parts, handled the warranty paperwork, and got the AC back up and running within a few days.
