Van Nuys sits in the middle of the San Fernando Valley floor, between the Sepulveda Basin and Van Nuys Airport, where summer afternoons get much hotter than in the city basin over the hill. Much of the housing is either post-war single-family homes or apartment buildings, and both put specific strain on cooling: - **Older ranch homes** often have their ducts and the indoor coil in a hot attic. A small duct leak there means the AC is cooling the attic, not the bedrooms. - **Apartments and rentals** commonly use packaged rooftop units or wall systems. We repair those too, and owners and tenants can each call us directly. - **Units that run nonstop** through the summer wear out contactors, capacitors and fan motors. Van Nuys is part of the City of Los Angeles, so replacement work is permitted through LADBS and power comes from LADWP.

Technician working on an outdoor heat pump in Van Nuys Furnace control board under repair ## Heating and furnace repair in Van Nuys Valley nights in December and January get cold enough that a dead furnace is a real problem, especially for older residents and families with small children. We repair gas furnaces, wall heaters in older homes and apartments, heat pumps and zone systems: failed igniters and flame sensors, inducer motors, limit switches, blower motors and thermostats. A furnace that blows cold air or cycles on and off usually has one of those parts at fault.

Technician installing an outdoor AC unit ## AC installation, heat pumps and ductless systems in Van Nuys When a Van Nuys system is beyond repair, a replacement should be sized with a load calculation for your home. Heat pumps fit the mild Valley winters and replace both the AC and the furnace's heating; ductless mini splits work well in apartments, converted garages and additions that never had ducts.
