Types of AC Systems We Repair

Our technicians are trained and certified to repair all types of air conditioning systems, including:

Central Air Conditioning Systems

Central AC systems are the most common cooling solution in Los Angeles homes. These systems cool air at a central location and distribute it through ductwork to rooms throughout your home. Our technicians are experts in diagnosing and repairing issues specific to central AC systems, including problems with compressors, condensers, evaporator coils, blower motors, and control systems.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Ductless mini-split systems offer zoned cooling without the need for ductwork. These systems consist of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. Our technicians are skilled in repairing the unique components of ductless systems, including refrigerant lines, indoor air handlers, and specialized electronic controls.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating by transferring heat between indoor and outdoor air. During summer, they remove heat from your home to cool it. Our team is well-versed in the complexities of heat pump repair, addressing issues with reversing valves, defrost controls, refrigerant levels, and other components specific to these versatile systems.

When your air conditioning system fails during the hot Los Angeles summer, LC HVAC provides fast, reliable AC repair services to restore your comfort quickly. Our experienced technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing all types of air conditioning systems, from central AC units to ductless mini-splits and heat pumps. We understand that a malfunctioning AC system can make your home uncomfortable and potentially unsafe during extreme heat, which is why we prioritize prompt service and effective solutions. With our transparent pricing, skilled technicians, and commitment to quality, you can trust LC HVAC to get your cooling system back up and running efficiently, so you can enjoy a comfortable indoor environment regardless of the outdoor temperature.

Window and Portable AC Units

While smaller than whole-home systems, window and portable AC units can still experience performance issues that require professional attention. Our technicians can repair these units, addressing problems with cooling capacity, airflow, drainage, and electrical components.

Commercial HVAC Systems

We also service and repair commercial air conditioning systems, including rooftop units, VRF/VRV systems, and large-scale central air systems. Our commercial AC repair services address the unique challenges of these more complex systems, ensuring your business remains comfortable for employees and customers alike.

No matter what type of air conditioning system you have, our technicians have the knowledge, skills, and tools to provide effective repairs that restore comfort to your home or business.

Recognizing the early warning signs of air conditioning problems can help you address issues before they escalate into major failures. Contact LC HVAC for professional AC repair if you notice any of the following signs:

  • Warm air coming from vents
  • Reduced airflow from vents

  • Unusual noises such as grinding, squealing, or banging
  • Unpleasant odors when the system runs
  • Water leaks or pooling around indoor unit
  • Unexplained increases in energy bills

The Benefits of Professional AC Repair

While DIY repairs might seem like a cost-effective solution, professional AC repair offers numerous advantages:

Safety

Air conditioning systems involve electrical components, refrigerants, and mechanical parts that can be dangerous to handle without proper training and tools. Our technicians are trained to work safely with these systems, minimizing risks to you and your property.

Expertise and Experience

Our technicians undergo rigorous training and certification processes, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose and repair complex AC issues. Their experience working with various cooling systems allows them to identify problems quickly and implement effective solutions, saving you time and frustration.

Comprehensive Solutions

DIY repairs often address only the symptoms rather than the underlying cause of AC problems. Our professional approach involves thorough diagnostics to identify root causes, allowing us to implement comprehensive solutions that prevent recurring issues and extend the life of your cooling system.

Warranty Protection

Long-Term Savings

While professional repairs may have a higher upfront cost than DIY attempts, they often result in long-term savings. Properly repaired AC systems operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Additionally, professional repairs help prevent major breakdowns that could necessitate costly system replacements.

When you choose LC HVAC for your air conditioning repair needs, you're investing in quality workmanship, reliable solutions, and long-term comfort for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

The cost of AC repair varies depending on several factors, including the type of system, the nature of the problem, the parts required, and the complexity of the repair. Minor repairs might cost between $150 and $400, while more complex issues could range from $400 to $1,200 or more. At LC HVAC, we provide detailed, upfront estimates before beginning any work, ensuring you know exactly what to expect.

Most AC repairs can be completed within 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs like replacing a capacitor or contactor might take less than an hour, while more complex issues like refrigerant leaks or compressor problems could take several hours. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring that repairs are done correctly.

This decision depends on several factors, including the age of your system, the frequency and cost of repairs, and your system's energy efficiency. As a general rule, if your system is more than 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or if the cost of repair exceeds 50% of the cost of replacement, it might be more economical to invest in a new system. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment of your situation and help you make an informed decision based on your specific circumstances and budget.

Regular maintenance is the key to preventing most AC repairs. We recommend scheduling professional maintenance at least once a year, preferably before the cooling season begins. Additionally, you can help maintain your system by changing air filters regularly, keeping outdoor units clear of debris, maintaining proper thermostat settings, and addressing minor issues before they escalate into major problems. Our maintenance plans provide comprehensive care that can significantly reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
