Here's what our satisfied customers are saying...
Our Air Conditioning Installation Services
Our air conditioning installation services cover new systems, unit swaps, thermostat work, and airflow fixes. We review access and safety points, then share the job list and price. You can pick a date and time that suits you. Our crew keeps the job moving from start to end.
Air Conditioning Installation
Our certified technicians install new AC systems for homes and businesses in Simi Valley. We set the outdoor unit on a level base and secure it to limit vibration. The team routes drain lines with proper slope and checks water flow at the end. You get labeled shutoffs and a final check of cooling.
Air Conditioning Replacement
A replacement works best when old and new parts match as one system. We recover the old refrigerant, remove the old equipment, and haul it away for proper disposal. Our team checks coil size, refrigerant type, and line condition before installing the new system. You get updated electrical connections and a final performance check before we leave.
Thermostat Repair and Smart Thermostat Upgrades
Thermostat issues can start with loose low voltage wires, weak power, or a worn control board. Our tech team checks wiring, terminals, and power at the indoor unit. Then we test heating and cooling functions.
For smart upgrades, we mount the thermostat level, confirm Wi Fi signal strength, and pair the app. You get a short walkthrough of modes, alerts, and temperature control.
Ductwork Inspection and Airflow Improvements
Airflow problems can start from crushed flex ducts, loose joints, or blocked returns. We inspect key duct sections, check register flow, and look for leaks at connections. Our team seals problem joints, replaces damaged sections, and balances airflow across rooms. You get smoother airflow and less strain on the AC equipment.
Types of Air Conditioners We Install in Simi Valley
Air Force AC and Heating installs several AC options in Simi Valley. Each option fits a different space, budget, and layout. The right choice depends on duct access, roof space, and control needs. We review the building, then recommend equipment that matches comfort goals and local wiring limits.
Central Air Conditioning Systems
Central AC cools the whole building from one outdoor unit and one indoor coil. Cool air moves through built in air channels to each room. It fits homes with existing vents and return grilles. Our team checks the channel size and return openings so air can move back to the indoor coil.
Ductless Mini Split AC Systems
Ductless mini split systems use a small outdoor unit with one or more wall or ceiling heads indoors. Each head cools its own zone, so bedrooms and offices can use different temperatures. They suit rooms with no vents, garages, and additions.
Packaged Rooftop Units
Packaged rooftop units place the main parts in one cabinet on the roof. Air moves from the cabinet into large air trunks that flow through rooms in offices and retail spaces. A roof curb and safety rails support the equipment. Our crew checks roof structure and service access for filter changes and part checks.
Smart Thermostat Ready AC Upgrades
Some new AC systems work with smart thermostats that offer remote control and energy reports. A smart ready upgrade may need a common wire and a compatible control board. We confirm wiring at the wall and at the indoor equipment, then test cooling commands and safety limits.
The benefits of a new air conditioning installation are lower energy bills, more even cooling, fewer repairs, smart control options, and cleaner indoor air. A properly sized system reaches the set temperature faster and holds it more consistently than an aging unit.
These benefits show up in comfort, control, indoor air quality, and total cost over time.
Lower energy use and steadier cooling
A new unit cools the space without staying on for long periods. It reaches the set temperature and keeps it stable. Many systems start without a big power spike, so lights do not flicker and breakers do not trip. You can expect lower power use during peak summer.
Better airflow and more even temperatures
New equipment can move air with more consistent pressure. Rooms at the end of a duct line can cool closer to the rest of the home. Returns also work better when the system matches the duct size. You notice fewer hot corners and fewer cold blasts near vents.
Fewer breakdowns and lower repair costs
Old units can need parts more often as motors and coils wear out. With a new system, parts start fresh and wear begins later. That can cut the number of repair visits and reduce surprise bills. A new install also reduces small leaks and loose connections that can shut the system down.
Smart thermostat and control options
New air conditioners can pair with smart thermostats and indoor sensors. You can set schedules, adjust temperature from a phone, and lock settings for kids or rentals. Some controls also track filter reminders and send alerts when the system needs service. Our team confirms control options during the install plan.
Our Air Conditioning Installation Process
Our installation process keeps each job organized from first call to final check. Air Force AC and Heating reviews comfort needs and shares installation steps. You receive transparent pricing and a detailed estimate in writing.
When You Need Professional Air Conditioning Installation
Professional installation helps when an old system causes repeat trouble. It also helps after a remodel or room addition. Air Force AC and Heating installs AC systems in Simi Valley with correct sizing and safe electrical work.
- An older AC system keeps breaking down
- Energy costs rise without a clear cause
- Uneven cooling or weak airflow shows up in parts of the home
- Loud noise, odors, or warm air comes from the vents
- A system replacement is needed for better efficiency
- A remodel or room addition changes cooling demand
- Proper sizing, safe wiring, and correct refrigerant charge are required
How to Choose the Right Air Conditioning Installation Company in Simi Valley
Choosing the right air conditioning installation company comes down to five checks: a valid California C-20 HVAC license, NATE certification, a written itemized estimate, a proper load calculation for system sizing, and verified local reviews. A qualified installer inspects your ductwork, electrical panel, and room layout before recommending equipment, rather than quoting a system size over the phone.
- License and certification: California requires a C-20 HVAC contractor license. NATE certification shows technicians passed technical exams beyond the basic license.
- Written, itemized estimate: equipment, labor, and permit costs listed separately, with no hidden fees.
- Proper load calculation: sizing based on square footage, insulation, and duct layout, not a flat per-room estimate. An oversized or undersized unit raises energy costs and shortens equipment life.
- Insurance and warranty terms: proof of liability insurance, plus clear labor and parts warranty coverage.
- Verified reviews: Google and Yelp reviews from local Simi Valley customers show how a company handles real installs, not just quotes.
Air Force AC and Heating meets each of these standards for homes and businesses across Simi Valley.

Frequently Asked Questions
What brands of air conditioners do you install in Simi Valley?
We install a range of major HVAC brands. We match the brand and model to the home layout, budget, and equipment needs.
Do you help with rebates or utility paperwork?
Yes. We can point out common rebate steps and share what documents are needed for a rebate claim.
Can you install AC in a home with no ductwork?
Yes. Ductless mini split systems work well in homes without ducts, and they can cool single rooms or multiple zones.
What happens if the electrical panel needs an upgrade?
We review the panel capacity first. If upgrades are needed, we explain the scope and coordinate the next steps before installation.
Do you install AC for small businesses after hours?
Yes. We can plan install times around store hours and staff access when scheduling allows.
What warranties come with a new air conditioner?
Most systems include a manufacturer parts warranty. Labor coverage depends on the install terms and any added service plan.
How can a home prepare before installation day?
Clear a work area near the indoor unit and outdoor unit, secure pets, and plan parking access for the crew and equipment.
How long does air conditioning installation take in Simi Valley?
Most single-system AC installations take one full day, from removal of the old unit to final testing. Installs that involve an electrical panel upgrade, new ductwork, or a switch to a ductless mini split can take longer, based on the scope of work.
Do I need a permit for AC installation in Simi Valley, CA?
Yes. The City of Simi Valley Building & Safety Division requires a building permit for the installation, replacement, or relocation of air conditioning units. Air Force AC and Heating handles the permit application and schedules the required inspection as part of every install.
What size air conditioner do I need for my Simi Valley home?
The right size depends on square footage, ceiling height, insulation, window count, and duct layout, not home size alone. Air Force AC and Heating reviews these factors during the in-home evaluation and calculates load before recommending equipment.
