Replace Your Studio City AC at the Right Size
Benched pads, long line sets, narrow canyon roads: hillside installs get planned before the truck rolls, and flat-street swaps usually finish in a day.

Heating and cooling systems sized around your home.
Every job starts with an honest look at your current system. We size the replacement to your home and the valley's summers, no guesswork.
AC Installation
We size each new AC from a room-by-room load calculation, not the old unit's label, then set it on a flat Studio City lot or a hillside pad.
AC Repair
When an older system fails, we fix what is worth fixing and say plainly when a replacement makes more sense for the house.
AC Maintenance
A new system's first tune-ups shape how long it lasts. We check charge, airflow, and drain lines on systems we installed and ones we did not.
Ductless Mini Split
A guest house, garage conversion, or hillside room the ducts never reached gets a wall-mounted head and one small line-set hole.
Heating Installation
Gas furnace or heat pump: we size the heating side for cold canyon mornings and help you weigh which one fits the house.
Heating Repair
Furnace won't light, or the heat pump blows cool? We trace the fault and tell you whether it is worth another repair or due for replacement.
Heating Maintenance
A fall check before the first cold night: burner, heat exchanger, flue, and a carbon monoxide test on the furnace or heat pump.
Indoor Air Quality
Install day is the easiest time to add a better filter cabinet, a purifier, or fresh-air ventilation for wildfire season.
Ductwork Services
A new condenser on old, leaky ducts loses much of the upgrade. We test, seal, resize, or replace ducts as part of the install.
Smart Thermostat
We wire Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell thermostats to new systems, zoned and two-stage equipment included, and check for a C-wire first.
Careful sizing in the field, straight talk about your options.
New equipment only works as well as the plan behind it. At Studio AC Co. that plan covers the load calculation, the ducts, the pad or deck where the condenser sits, and the inspection, for homes from the Studio City flats up into Laurel Canyon.
On the flats south of Ventura Boulevard and across Toluca Lake, a replacement is usually a straight swap: the pad and the attic are easy to reach, and the real work is checking whether the old ducts can carry the new system. Up Laurel Canyon and in the hills toward Universal City it is a different job, with the condenser on a benched pad or a lower deck and a long line set back to the air handler.
Sherman Oaks and Encino homes that were opened up with more glass and taller ceilings often outgrew their original system. We run a fresh load calculation, compare a heat pump against a furnace pairing, and add zoning when the upstairs and downstairs never agree on temperature. The plan, the equipment, and the price go in writing before anything is ordered.

Sized by Calculation
Every new system starts with a room-by-room load calculation. An oversized unit short-cycles and an undersized one runs all afternoon, and both wear out early.
Hillside Jobs Planned
Off Laurel Canyon and above Fryman, we check pad location, line-set length, and truck access before quoting, so install day has no surprises.
Price in Writing
The written estimate lists the equipment, the duct work, and the permit before anything is ordered. The scope you sign is the scope we install.

Studio City
Studio City and the southern San Fernando Valley
On the valley side of the Santa Monica Mountains the ocean breeze never arrives, so afternoon heat holds into the evening and cooling run times stretch past sunset through the summer. Air draining off the hills cools things noticeably overnight, and that day to night swing rewards equipment that modulates rather than cycling on and off at full output.
Glendale
Glendale and the Verdugo Mountains area
Glendale bakes in late summer once the marine influence stops reaching this far inland, and the Verdugo foothills hold that heat well past sunset. Basin smog and fire season smoke both settle here, so higher rated filtration and a properly sealed return matter as much as cooling capacity.
Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks and the central San Fernando Valley
The central San Fernando Valley holds heat late, with afternoons that stay hot well past sunset and push equipment into long summer run times. Valley air also traps haze and particulates against the hills, so filtration and a properly sized return are worth including with any change out.

Simple steps to a right-sized system
We keep sizing, scheduling, and install day clear from the first call.
Tell Us About the House
Call or send the form with your address, the age of the current system, and what is wrong with it. A hillside lot, an attic air handler, or an HOA on the street changes the plan, so we ask about those up front.
Sizing Visit and Load Calculation
We measure the rooms, check insulation and window exposure, and look at the ducts, the electrical panel, and where the outdoor unit can sit. The load calculation sets the size, not the old unit's label.
Written Estimate With Options
You get the equipment choices in writing: central AC, heat pump, ductless, or zoned, with the duct work and permit included. Pick one, and we set the install date.
Install Day
Old equipment out, new equipment in, line set run, system charged and tested. On hillside lots we plan the delivery route and the pad ahead of time so the crew is not improvising on a canyon road.
Inspection and Walkthrough
We arrange the city inspection and the duct test, then show you the thermostat, the filter, and the maintenance schedule the new system needs.
