What's Included
A replacement starts with a Manual J load calculation and a look at the ducts it will feed. Then we set the condenser, run the line set, and arrange the city inspection, from flat streets south of Ventura to benched pads up Laurel Canyon.

AC Replacement in Studio City: A New System, Quoted Before the Truck Rolls
You are here because the unit you have is done, or close to it, and you want a new system in the house without a sales script. Studio AC Co. handles AC replacement across Studio City, from flat-street ranch homes to hillside houses off Laurel Canyon.
We start with the house, not the nameplate. A Manual J load calculation looks at insulation, ceiling height and glass, then we pick the equipment to match. Repair callers are welcome too. If your system can still be fixed, we say so.
Up the canyon roads, we plan the job before the truck goes up: where the condenser sits, how the line set runs back to the air handler, and how the equipment gets carried in. You see that plan in the quote, not on the day.
What sets the price of an AC replacement
We do not print a flat number for a full central AC swap, because the same tonnage can cost very different amounts on two different streets. The written quote lists equipment, labor, electrical and testing before any work starts.
| Item | What moves it |
|---|---|
| System size | Load calculation result, not the old tonnage. Variable-speed or two-stage equipment costs more than single-stage. |
| Condenser location | A flat side yard is simple. A benched pad or lower deck on a hillside lot adds labor and materials. |
| Line set | A long vertical run back to the air handler means more line, more fittings and more time. |
| Ductwork | Leaky or undersized ducts may need sealing or modification before the new system can perform. |
| Electrical | Disconnect, breaker and whip may need updating to suit the new unit. |
| Permit and testing | Permit fees and duct leakage testing, when the scope requires it. |
What replacement day covers
On a flat-street ranch with the air handler in the attic, a swap usually takes one day once the ducts pass a leak test. Hillside jobs are planned before the truck goes up.
- Recover the refrigerant and remove the old condenser and air handler.
- Set the new condenser on a level pad or deck.
- Connect the line set, drain and electrical.
- Pressure test, evacuate and charge the system.
- Set up the thermostat and walk you through it.
Permits and code in Studio City
Replacing an AC in California is permitted work. Studio City is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood, so the permit comes from LADBS. Electric service is LADWP and gas is SoCalGas.
Under Title 24 Part 6, an AC change-out can require duct sealing and a duct leakage test, verified by a third-party HERS rater who is not the installer. We tell you at quote time whether your scope calls for it.
Equipment for your home
New residential split systems are now built with lower-GWP A2L refrigerants such as R-454B or R-32. Efficiency is rated in SEER2. We quote the unit that fits your load and your budget.
A quiet, well-placed condenser matters in the hills, where neighbors sit close and the units run long on hot evenings. We discuss the location with you before we set the pad.
If the house has no usable ducts, or an addition never got proper airflow, we may point you to a ductless system from Daikin or Mitsubishi instead of forcing a ducted one in.
Book your AC replacement
Tell us the address and what the system is doing, and we will set a visit and write the quote before any work starts. Call (877) 704-7652 to get on the schedule.

AC Installation in Studio City
Studio City runs from flat streets of ranch homes up into the hills off Laurel Canyon, where contemporary houses stack their living space and leave the condenser on a lower deck or a benched pad with genuine vertical lift back to the air handler. The hillside roads are narrow enough to limit what can be delivered in one piece, so equipment gets staged in sections and slim ducted or mini split options often win over a large cabinet that cannot make the turn onto the property.

AC Installation in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks splits between valley floor ranch homes with attic ductwork and hillside estates stepping up toward the ridge, where the condenser has to sit on a cut pad or a lower deck with a long lifted line set. Contemporary rebuilds add glass and open volume the original system was never sized for, so a fresh load calculation and zoning make more difference here than simply adding tonnage.
