Air Conditioning & Heating Service in Westwood, CA

In Westwood's condo and rental buildings, the building association usually has the final say before we even open a load calculation: what can sit on the roof or a balcony, how a wall gets penetrated for a line set, and what hours a crew is allowed to work. Once that's settled, the older 1920s Spanish style houses bring a separate puzzle, with plaster walls and tile roofs that never left room for a duct chase, so we typically end up fitting a small ducted unit into a converted closet or going with ductless heads rather than cutting into finished ceilings. Being too far inland to catch a real afternoon breeze off the water, Westwood holds heat in its pavement and building mass well past sunset, so systems here run later into the evening than they do out toward the beach. Upper floor condo units and the older houses alike take the hardest hit from afternoon sun through west facing glass, which is why we push shading and a properly sized return as hard as we push equipment capacity.
