Air Conditioning & Heating Service in Santa Monica, CA

You are looking for an HVAC contractor in Santa Monica who understands the housing. Beach bungalows, Art Deco apartment buildings, Craftsman homes and modern luxury residences all stand in the same few miles, and Westside AirCon Services works on each.

Many of the bungalows and apartment blocks were built without ductwork or any mechanical space. That points the retrofit toward multi zone mini splits, with a head in each room and the condenser on a roof or a rear pad.

Lots are tight and neighbors are close. Sound from the outdoor unit and clearance from the setback usually decide where the equipment goes before the length of the line set does. We settle placement at the survey visit, so the quote shows the real location.

The marine layer keeps cooling peaks short and modest, so equipment that modulates avoids short cycling. Salt air wears on coils and cabinet hardware, which is why coated coils and a maintenance visit belong in the conversation.

Every job here starts with the building, because the building decides the system. A bungalow or apartment with no ducts suits a ductless install. A house with an attic and working ducts may take a central system. Salt air makes upkeep part of the plan. Each service below is linked, so you can read what the visit covers before you call.

Replacing a furnace, heat pump, AC or ductwork in California is permitted work. In Santa Monica the permit comes from the city's own building and safety division. Electric service is Southern California Edison and natural gas is SoCalGas.

On a change-out or duct work, Title 24 Part 6 can require duct sealing and a leakage test verified by a third-party HERS rater who is not the installer. Whether it applies depends on the scope, and your quote says so.

We cover Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Sunset Park, Wilshire Montana, North of Montana, Pico and the neighboring blocks of Venice. Call, pick a time, and a technician walks the property, checks where the equipment can sit, and writes the quote before any work begins.

Repair callers get the same treatment. If your system can be fixed, we say that first.

For apartments and condos, tell us who manages the building. Outdoor unit location often needs sign-off, and we can line that up while the quote is being written. Equipment on the quote comes from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem or Payne, matched to the building.
