Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new HVAC system cost in Los Angeles?
A complete HVAC system replacement in Los Angeles typically costs between $6,000 and $18,000 depending on system type, home size, and ductwork condition. A standard split system for a 1,500–2,000 sq ft home runs $7,000–$12,000 installed. Heat pump systems and high-efficiency units cost more upfront but deliver 30–50% energy savings over their lifespan.
How often should HVAC be serviced?
HVAC systems should be professionally serviced twice a year — once in spring for the AC and once in fall for the heating system. Each tune-up includes filter replacement, coil cleaning, refrigerant check, electrical connection tightening, and thermostat calibration. Regular maintenance prevents the majority of emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running at peak efficiency.
What SEER rating should I look for?
In California, the minimum SEER2 rating for new AC installations is 15. For Los Angeles homes, we recommend SEER2 16–20 for the best balance of upfront cost and long-term savings. A SEER2 18 system uses roughly 20% less energy than a SEER2 15. Higher-end variable-speed systems can reach SEER2 24+ but carry a premium price tag. Our technicians help you find the right fit for your budget.
