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.
The busiest week of our year in Van Nuys is the first stretch of sustained may weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Van Nuys91405 HVAC questions, answered
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Van Nuys, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
What brands do you service in Van Nuys?
All of them. Our 91405 technicians are trained on Goodman, Heil, Mitsubishi Electric, Lennox and essentially every other residential brand sold in California, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
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.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Van Nuys see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Van Nuys most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
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 Van Nuys 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.
