Refrigeration & Cooling Service in Simi Valley

Simi Valley gets hotter than almost anywhere in the LA metro. When your AC or refrigeration goes down in triple-digit heat, you need a team that shows up fast and fixes it right.

Simi Valley sits in an inland basin surrounded by the Santa Susana Mountains and the Simi Hills, which means one thing in summer: the heat has nowhere to go. It's not unusual to see 105°F or higher in July and August, and that kind of sustained heat absolutely punishes HVAC systems. If your air conditioning was installed 15 or 20 years ago, it's probably working twice as hard as it was designed to.

Arctic Cool Refrigeration has been servicing Simi Valley homes and businesses since 1984. We're based in Calabasas, just over the Santa Susana Pass, and our technicians know this valley well. We've worked in Wood Ranch, Big Sky, Simi Hills, Madera Oaks, and the older neighborhoods along Cochran and Tapo Canyon. We understand the specific challenges that come with inland valley heat and the older construction stock in many parts of the city.

A lot of homes in Simi Valley were built during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s building booms. Many still have the original furnace or a second-generation AC unit that's well past its expected lifespan. We see this constantly: a family calls because their AC "isn't blowing cold anymore," and what we find is a 22-year-old system running R-22 refrigerant (which hasn't been manufactured since 2020) with corroded evaporator coils and a compressor that's barely holding on. At that point, a repair is a band-aid. We'll tell you straight whether it makes sense to fix it or replace it.
