Book a service call now for a 5-star experience.At LA Heating and Air, we provide HVAC repair throughout Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley for homeowners who need their system working again without the runaround. Your HVAC system does two jobs, keeps you cool in August and warm in January. When either side fails, you feel it fast.
We work on all brands, all system types, and we show up when we say we will. One call gets you a technician who can diagnose the problem and give you a price before any work starts.
HVAC systems have a lot of moving parts. Compressors, blower motors, capacitors, contactors, refrigerant lines, control boards, thermostats, when something fails, it can be hard to know where to start. That's our job.
We troubleshoot the whole system, not just the obvious symptom. A unit that won't cool might have a refrigerant leak, a frozen coil, or a bad capacitor, each one requires a different fix.
We test methodically and explain what we find in plain language. No jargon, no scare tactics, just a straight answer on what's broken and what it costs to fix.
Homes in Thousand Oaks range from 1960s ranches in Lynn Ranch to custom builds in North Ranch to ranch style homes in Agoura Hills. Each one has different equipment, different ductwork, different challenges. We've worked on all of them.
Thousand Oaks summers push AC systems hard. When temps climb past 95 degrees in the Conejo Valley, your air conditioner runs for hours at maximum capacity. That's when weak components give out.
Most air conditioning repair calls we get come down to a few usual suspects. Capacitors fail and the compressor won't start. Contactors wear out and the system cycles erratically. Refrigerant leaks slowly until the coil freezes and airflow drops to nothing. We diagnose these issues every week and carry the parts to fix most of them on the first visit.
If your AC is blowing warm air, running constantly without cooling, or making a buzzing or clicking sound it didn't used to make, something is failing. Don't wait until it dies completely on the hottest day of the year. Call now and we'll get it sorted out.

If your heater kicks on but blows cold air, or starts and stops every few minutes, or won't turn on at all—those are the calls we handle daily. We'll find the problem and tell you exactly what it takes to fix it.
People don't expect Thousand Oaks to get cold, but it does. Nighttime temps in the 30s and 40s from December through February mean your heater runs more than you might think. When it stops working, the house gets uncomfortable fast.
Gas furnaces are the most common heating system here, and they fail in predictable ways. Heat exchangers crack after years of thermal stress. Flame sensors get coated with residue and shut the system down as a safety precaution. Filters get dirty and don't allow airflow through, we've fixed thousands of these issues across the Conejo Valley.
AFter servicing hundreds of homes in Thousand Oaks, the most common HVAC repairs are: bad capacitors, dirty filters, burned contactor, and blown fuses.
It is not a rule but rather a widely accepted performance metric for an HVAC system. When checking if the unit is working properly the difference between the air coming into the system (through the return vent) and the temperature of the air leaving the system (through the supply vents) should be approximately 20 degrees for optimal efficiency. Even with this information if the system if blowing 15-20 degree difference is considered good.
This is the telltale sign that your AC system needs a repair. An HVAC system that is working and blowing air that is not cold shows that the system has an issue with the cooling portion of the system. This can be many different problems, from electrical connections to bad parts. If your system is not blowing cold air, a repair is needed.
No, there’s no outdoor temperature that’s “too cold” for your air conditioner to run. When operating properly, an AC system typically cools the air by about 15–20 degrees as it passes through the system. That means if it’s 85°F outside, your system can deliver air around 65–70°F. Even if outdoor temperatures are milder, such as 72°F, the system can still supply air in the low 50s.
Your air conditioner doesn’t create cold air; it removes heat from the air inside your home and circulates cooler air back into the space. As long as the system is functioning correctly and the thermostat is set to cooling mode, it will continue to cycle and maintain your desired indoor temperature.
If you’re not noticing a 15–20 degree difference in supply air, it may be a sign your system needs maintenance or service.
