Damian Ryan and his crew installed my HVAC system during a renovation of my property in 2002, replacing my old floor furnace with an in-attic forced air unit. They did an excellent job and the unit has performed flawlessly ever since. Every year, I have them come out and do normal maintenance. His crews are always prompt, professional and courteous. This year, I had the pleasure of meeting his son Rick, working as the lead tech. Rick wasn't even born when my unit was new. Makes you think. read more

I feel really lucky to find Richie and his team. During this heat wave I called them to help us understand why one of our rooms was so hot compared to the rest of the house. This room is also where our new baby sleeps, so my new mom anxiety was high. They fit me in right away and even came a day early when they had a cancellation. They came out quickly to identify the issue and fixed it within the hour. On top of that they charged me a super fair and reasonable price - way less than I expected. They will get all my work from now on given how responsive and honest they were. read more

I scheduled a maintenance for 2 AC units. Rich came and did a thorough inspection. Found to have one AC unit which needed replacing a small part. Did not push to replace it since the AC was still working but showed me with numbers. I chose to have it replaced n was given a discount since it was done with maintenance. Rich didn't have exact part but he came back in the afternoon n replaced it. It was very pleasant experience n the cost was reasonable! read more

We requested service of our air conditioning system today and Rich and Jack from So-Cal Heating and Air came on-time after confirming our appt early this morning. They were very thorough and I was very pleased with the quality of service we received. In past years we had them install a whole house fan in our attic and that has been a great addition to our home. I highly recommend this company. read more

We live in Tujunga. We've used them twice, once many years ago to fix our air conditioning unit that "American Air & Heating" messed up by putting the wrong coolant in. This was the time that "freon" was being phased out. Unfortunately the other company used the new cooling replacement & it messed up our older unit. The folks from So-Cal Heating & Air recognized the error immediately. They could have tried to sell us a new unit like the last one did, but instead, managed to fix it, & put the correct cooling agent in. It's been running great since. A few weeks ago, Jan. 14,2026 our heater wouldn't stay lit. (This is when had the 2 week cold spell.) They came out the very next morning, found the wire that needed to be cleaned & it immediately began to work & has continued working since. It took them less than 15 mins. to check out everything else. I hope this small, "family & extended friends/family business" stays in business for the foreseeable future. We desperately need referrals from local folks that appreciate honesty, care, & respect from businesses they love. That's why I've written this review. Love,Love, Love, this local business !!!

Menooa and his team we're able to come out and deal with a recurring leak around my roof mounted unit that had not been able to be resolved after previous visits from another company. Excellent work and priced well! They were able to come out quickly to evaluate a leak I was dealing with around my roof mounted AC unit. I had had another company come out multiple times to try to address the problem and they had been unable to resolve it and so I was looking for a second opinion. I am so glad I did because Menooa was professional, skilled, and wonderful to work with. He not only assessed the issue and provided potential solutions but also identified that I did not have my condensation drain set up appropriately and recommended a solution for that as well. I will be working with him for any future HVAC issues. read more

WOW. Got these guys on Yelp and they were terrific. Arrived on time. Super friendly. Diagnosed our issue with our new Nest thermostat quickly and made the necessary repairs in a very professional manner. They then explained how to make the necessary adjustments to the thermostat for heating and cooling. This was not in their scope of work they were just being nice. Price was as quoted. Use them!! read more

We did a major home remodel and needed our HVAC replaced. We have a two-story house and our bedroom has never heated or cooled properly. We had several HVAC contractors come by, but Damian was the only one who understood our issue and was able to fix the problem. He promised he could get our bedroom cooled/heated and was good on his promise! Damian and his crew (shout out to the Mikes!) were amazing. Damian is a true HVAC genius. read more

How good were they? Excellent! Lifesavers. Professional. Understanding. Safety conscious. I feel so fortunate to have found this honest and experienced company So Cal Heating and Air to service my air conditioner again in the foothills of Tujunga. The smoke of the Bobcat fire and in SoCal has been terrible for my asthma. The men work hard and everyone's AC is breaking from the heat and smoke. This speedy repair will help me with my asthma health no doubt. I an grateful to have Damian's business be so reputable and thorough for this vital service. Thank you to Damian, Doug and Mike. I'll be calling you for an AC check up soon in a few months. Peace read more

Called and left a message at 7am during the last heat wave. Got a call back around 8am. They were able to accommodate same day. Two techs showed up and checked outside, inside and in the attic. They were able diagnose and fix the problem. Our family is so very thankful for the quick response and professionalism of the whole team from the office staff to the techs! read more

I am so greatful for So-Cal Heating & Air. Our unit went out and I was in a total panic on what to do. They were very kind on the phone and were able to come out to me so fast. My tech explained in a way I could understand (I know nothing about this) what the issue was and my options. He got me back up and running the same day. I will definitely use this company again if I need repairs or a new unit. Thank you so much. Highly recommended!! read more

Damien is professional amazing and happy with his services, Thank you so much!!! We appreciate you! read more

Of course our AC went out in the middle of a heatwave! Our long standing AC company couldn't get us an appointment till a week later. Not doable. I left a message at So Cal at 7:30am the next day and Rachel responded within the hour! AND she was able to fit us in for her guys to check out our AC within 3 hours! They found that our capacitor had worn out. They had a new one in their truck, put it in, and Hallelujah! our AC was working again. They also went through the house and adjusted our vents and made sure cold air was coming out of all of them. My heroes! I'd HIGHLY recommend So Cal Heating for your HVAC needs. And they are a local small business. So support them! read more

The drain line on my A/C unit started to leak, causing my living room ceiling to collapse. It was over 100 degrees that day. I called So Cal Heating & Air. I also have medical equipment that needs to stay cool to operate. I informed them of the problems requiring the AC. The person taking my call dispatched technicians to my home ASAP. They were at my house within minutes to fix the problem. read more

I must report that I had the worst experience I have ever had with Damian Ryan and his SoCal Heating &Air. I was in the process of getting bids to replace/upgrade my AC system when I remembered that I had hiring Damian once back in '92. I called him and after the expected pleasantries we made an appointment for him to come out and talk about the upgrades I had planned. What happened next was frankly shocking: A man showed up unannounced wearing a SoCal T-shirt and told me he was here to install the new AC?!? New AC??..... What AC?!?Damian chose not to come for our appointment. In fact I never got a consultation. with him. This is what I got: Damian knew the AC unit that I had, and unbeknownst to me, he apparently had the identical "surplus" unit that was four years old. Also unbeknownst to me: There was NO warranty! When I started asking Damian, on the phone, about the system I wanted he got indignant and said that I would be saving a lot of money, despite the fact that I NEVER got a proposal from him. He then threatened to have his crew leave AFTER they had totally removed my existing system. The crew was completely incompetent. The worst part was that they never sealed the unit to the house. So, inevitably, months later, after the first rain of the season I woke up to discover water pouring in my living room, which is directly under the AC unit. Unfortunately the leak completely ruined all of my favorite coffee table books and seriously damaged the table. To this day Damian never showed up to supervise or inspect his workers installation. read more

Our AC unit stopped working during the first big heat wave. Called So-Cal Heating & Air first thing Monday morning thinking I might have to wait for a service call. Luckily got an early service appointment for the same day. Josh, the service tech, arrived early, after calling to make sure we were available. He was polite and professional and was able to quickly diagnose the issue. Luckily he had a replacement part with him and was able to complete the repair in less than 20 minutes. Price for service call and replacement part was fair and we were thankful to have air conditioning again. Would not hesitate to call So-Cal Heating & Air again. read more

Damien has done our work for the last 25 years. He is trustworthy and kind. I've tried other companies (someone in the family) but keep coming back to him. read more

So-Cal Heating & Air did an incredible job with my AC/Heating needs. The owner Damian has been working his trade for over 25 years and it really shows. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great way of breaking things down in layman's term. I was able to make an informed decision on what was best suited for my home. His recommendations were aligned with what I needed. He looked out for my best interest and not what would make him more of a profit. The individuals conducting work on my home were very professional, meticulous and ensured that cleanliness was their top priority. Having worked with many contractors in the past, it was refreshing to work with a company that still focuses on delivering quality, integrity and show extreme pride in their work. I would highly recommend So-Cal Heating and Air to anyone. read more

Damian has been in business for years and I recently recommended So-Cal to a close friend that is recently widowed. He has done work for me I'm the past when I lived in the area is reliable and fair. So-Cal fixed my friends a/c problem swiftly and for a very fair price where other companies seemingly took advantage of my friend. read more

You know how some reviews sound like they're too good to be true? This is going to be one of them - but feel free to check out my other reviews, I'm not a bot! I recently acquired a property with a 30+ year old HVAC system. The seller claimed both the heating and A/C weren't working, but we only need the system to work for 1 year since we were going to be doing extensive renovations. We called 4 highly rated HVAC companies in the area and told them our situation. 3 of the companies sent out seasoned folks (at least 1 or 2 were the owners of their respective companies), who told us our whole system was dead and that we had to pay $11,000 to $15,000 to replace them even though they knew we only needed the system for 1 year. One of them made vague promises of possibly buying it back for a credit if we used them for a larger project in the future. SoCal Heating & Air sent us two "kids" (J.M. and A.P.). I swear they seemed like they should have been finishing up senior year of HS, but these two gentleman were respectful professionals that told us they'd give it their best shot. Well, their best was pretty darn good. They fixed BOTH the heater AND A/C (separate problems) with some new parts and refrigerant for $475!!! The owner, Damian, also stopped by at one point to drop off a part and he was super friendly and gave a lot of great advice for our future project (which had little to do with HVAC). Finally, this review is WAY overdue... JUST LIKE MY PAYMENT TO THEM :( They sent the invoice weeks after the work, and I still haven't paid even a month after the due date yet no one has nagged or threaten me. These folks are too nice. (and yes, I've setup a payment to go out the next biz day BEFORE writing this review). read more

Poor follow up on installed equipment. Make their work sound like a favor but just becomes a problem.

Quick response back (considering it is the day before a holiday) and helped me diagnose the problem on the spot for our heater. Damian was professional and got me a fair price for a part that we needed for our heater. Service and response time was very quick. Definitely recommend him! I posted a picture of his business card that has a more updated phone number than the one that is listed here on Yelp. read more

Our heating has been dwindling down until it was barely warm, and i suspected anything from a ripped duct to a vent blockage to ??? Usually I deal with Damian (who has done fine work for me every time in the past), but today he was on a call, so Josh and Carlos came over and in under an hour had cleaned and made adjustments to the system which is now shooting hot air, which is great coz this February is the coldest i have seen in LA in my 42 years here. Now if the gas prices would just go down! read more

Damian and his crew are such a pleasure to work with. They recently installed a new central air system and replaced an old heater at our house. Top notch work. Damian runs his business with integrity. I appreciated his straightforward communication. His crew is efficient and immaculate. You will be in great hands with this company. Highly recommended! read more

Much earlier in the year, we hired Damian and his team to replace our whole AC system as well as install a dual system for our lofts downstairs. We were recommended to them by a host of folks on NextDoor which has been quite helpful to me and my husband as we highly prefer referrals. We like to do our research with all contractors so we actually met with 2 other HVAC companies before deciding and although the prices were fairly similar we went with Damian because he seemed to really want to do good work in the neighborhood and we wanted to work with and support a local family company! It was very nice to meet Damian and his team worked quickly and efficiently. Maybe a bit too efficiently because there were a few loose ends here and there, and one I'm still waiting on. After everything was installed, the next time it rained, there was a leak right below where the new system was. Like a good amount of water was coming through which was alarming, especially with a new baby at home. I gave them a call, someone came by, and turns out that the sealing around the system was not done as comprehensively, so they fixed that up. I also kept calling because one of the initial things I had a concern about was how loud the dual system downstairs ended up being. This wasn't communicated to me before the process was started, and if I'd known how loud the system would be we might not have installed the system downstairs that way (perhaps we would have just done two mini-splits instead). They promised that someone would come by to take a look and see if there was a way to muffle the noise a bit. Like literally when people are downstairs they are not able to sleep due to how loud it is so it renders the system they installed quite useless. I called at least 4-5 times and left messages here and there to see when someone could come by, and so did my husband. I've talked to Tracy over the phone a number of times and she is quite helpful but I think maybe they got way too busy by the time summertime rolled around to get back to us. I feel they are a solid company but these loose ends are very important to tie up and especially important to me, the customer. Definitely still hoping to get this resolved with them soon because I think it'd be a shame to have to go find another HVAC company to fix an issue that they'd know best since they installed the system firsthand! read more

Second time I've had to call So-Cal on the hottest day of the year. Although they were booked out for days, Tracy was able to work her magic and get her guys to come out on the same day. We couldn't have asked for better technicians. Carlos and Antonio were pleasant and professional and immediately knew what the problem was. They took the time to answer our questions as well. I highly recommend this company. I love how this local business comes through for their customers. We are grateful and cool! read more

Thank you to Tracy and Mike for coming to service my Air Conditioner, last minute on a Friday. I had been dealing with a Property Management Co that had 2 weeks to take care of the matter and failed. I got in touch with Tracy directly and the job got done. Tracy and Mike went above and beyond!!! There is a part that still needs to be ordered and replaced but knowing that it will get done soon gives me Peace of mind. read more

So-Cal Heating & Air installed our AC in 2017. Everything seemed fine until a couple months ago when we were going to paint our bathroom and realized there was moisture in the walls. Water had been leaking from a drain line into our walls for years. Damian, the owner, came by with two technicians. They fixed the leak, but that left us with an expensive bathroom demolition, water remediation and construction to deal with. Damian admitted fault, but his only offer was to have his "guys" handle it. Naturally with kids in the house, we wanted to have everything properly remediated and tested to be sure there was no mold present. We preferred to go through their insurance company as they were liable. Their insurance never came by, just relied on some pictures that Damian's team took, and told us the claim was denied for a nonsensical reason. So ultimately we had to pay over $14K out of pocket on something that was 100% the fault of this company. read more

No way, no how & not ever. Of course when we were in the market to have an new ac & heat unit put in to our home, they were kind, helpful and ready to answer questions. Unit was only installed 2 months ago and it has been a week that unit is not working. Have put in a call everyday for a week with no return call or emails. Finally had to hire an outside AC repair guy to come out to my home. Within an hour he was at my home and repairing the unit. Totally unprofessional that I had to pay an outside person to repair a unit only 2 months old and still under warranty. Careful consumer. read more

I couldn't get a call back from these folks...I left three voicemails before they called to schedule time to come quote us on fixing our HVAC ducting (some of our bedrooms weren't getting any heat or AC). Then they never sent a quote. A few days later I did get a call from Damian and he said he wanted to take a look himself because it may be a bigger job than initially expected, but then he never followed up. I called and left a message the next week, no response. I've seen the positive reviews on here and wanted to give SoCal Heating and Air my business, but they were unresponsive. Went with someone else and got the work done within a couple of days. It shouldn't be such a struggle to get ahold of someone here. read more

We have used So Cal Heating and Air multiple times for our home in La Canada. Damien and his crew are the real deal and know their trade well. They are professional, courteous, and always get the job done right. I even sometimes ask his opinion about our property in another county, out of his service area. I trust Damien to always give me the honest, fair opinion. Thanks, Damien for serving our community these many years, with old school ethics and clean, honest work. read more

Damian is the best. Honest, straightforward, reasonably priced. I was referred to him when the furnace in our new place went out. He got right back to me after I left a message. He diagnosed the problem right away and took the time to explain it. It's refreshing to meet someone who obviously loves their work and more importantly, genuinely cares about the satisfaction of his customers. read more

My AC was on the fritz. First, I called someone from Angie's List looking for a deal, but they couldn't find the problem. Then, I remembered my sons baseball coach who owns So-Cal Heating and Air. Damian, a true super hero of Heating and Air. He fixed my AC in the blink of an eye and was so nice and knowledgable!!!! He fixed it for free and gave me a part for free as well. My only regret is I didn't think of him first. He really knows what he is doing and I will always call him in the future. I hope he lets me pay him. He is also an outstanding person and runs an outstanding business. He is also an awesome and positive baseball coach as well! read more

We finally decided to put in a heating and air conditioning system when we got a new roof.We have lived here many years and have added on rooms several times. Other companies said that air vents couldn't be installed in the new rooms because of the way the roofs were joined. When Damian, the owner of So Cal, came out he looked in the attic and said "Don't worry, I can do anything."He was right. Air vents were put in every room. Any time I was concerned about something he fixed it easily. I have never known a company that can fix anything and do it very well. Damian and his crew did an excellent job installing the new system. They were always on time, very easy to work with, very clean in their work and very careful when something had to be moved. Damian and his crew were a pleasure to work with. I will always call So Cal if I ever need work done on my system in the future. read more

I saw their trucks driving around town and I snapped a photo of the back of their truck so I could call the number, knowing I needed to hire an HVAC company. I called and he came out right away. He was nice, helpful and a genuine guy. It impressed me and I wanted to develop a business relationship with him, unfortunately I didn't realize they don't do commercial. He hooked me up anyway and did a bunch of work for me for super cheap, because it was their slow season. Weird call-back times though. read more

These guys are fast, professional, and reasonably priced. I bought a heating/ac system and also added a "whole house fan" based on their recommendation. Good call, i never would have considered it without their counseling, which is part of their package. Get a least 3 estimates, and if you end up picking this crew you will not regret it. read more

Always on time, always professional, knowledgeable and friendly, they take care of your needs without any hassle, great service and always fare. This outfit has it down. read more

I was very pleased with their response time and service. They came out to repair our heater .

Good scheduling and great service. I felt pricing was fair and work was honest. I recommended So-Cal to my mom and she was also happy. read more

Thank you for doing such a fast and efficient job on replacing our furnace and air con unit. Damian and his team were just great and easy to deal with and made getting a big job like this done, a pleasure. We would recommend them without hesitation.
