Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AC installation cost in Los Angeles?
Residential AC installation in Los Angeles typically costs between $3,500 and $12,000 depending on system type, home size, and ductwork requirements. A standard central AC replacement runs $3,500–$7,000, while a new ductless mini-split system ranges from $3,000–$5,000 per zone. Arctic Cool Refrigeration provides free in-home estimates with transparent pricing — no hidden fees.
How often should I service my AC unit?
Your AC should be professionally serviced at least once a year, ideally in spring before the Los Angeles summer heat arrives. Annual maintenance includes refrigerant level checks, coil cleaning, filter replacement, and electrical connection inspection. Regular service extends equipment life by 5–7 years and keeps your system running at peak efficiency.
What size AC unit do I need for my home?
AC sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, ceiling height, and local climate. A 1,500 sq ft LA home typically needs a 2.5–3 ton unit. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run constantly without cooling properly. Arctic Cool Refrigeration performs Manual J load calculations on every installation to determine the exact right size.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failed compressor, a tripped circuit breaker, or a faulty thermostat. Start by checking your thermostat settings and air filter. If those check out, you likely need a professional diagnosis. Call us at (800) 685-5590 for same-day AC repair.
Do you install ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. We install single-zone and multi-zone ductless mini-split systems from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG. Mini-splits are ideal for older LA homes without existing ductwork, room additions, garages, and ADUs. They offer zone-by-zone temperature control and SEER ratings up to 30+, which means significantly lower energy bills compared to traditional central AC.
