The Santa Monica90411 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Frozen evaporator coil or ice on the refrigerant lines
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Breaker trips every time the system starts
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)
Heating and air conditioning service built around Santa Monica
Most of the work we do in Santa Monica starts the same way: the system is running but the house is not comfortable. Before we replace anything, we measure airflow, static pressure and temperatures so you are paying for the actual fault.
Homes in Los Angeles County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Santa Monica90411 HVAC questions, answered
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Santa Monica is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in California is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Santa Monica we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in California covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Santa Monica we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during May through October. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
