Here's what our satisfied customers are saying...
Posted on Jim DepskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very happy with the entire experience of hiring this company to replace our HVAC system. It took us a long time to decide on which contractor to use, and I really pestered these folks with many phone calls and questions. I was equally impressed with their depth of knowledge, their patience with my inquiries, the professionalism and care displayed during the installation, and the reasonable price.Posted on V. H.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for the smoothest experience with purchasing an AC unit/s, Air Force AC & Heating is the one to hire. The best service and honest pricing hands down! Jason, who came out to give me an estimate was so friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. He gave us a quote on the costs for repairs vs replacement. After he diagnosed our equipments, he was honest that our units were reparable and a replacement was not at all necessary. Since our units were 24 yo, we decided to go a head and replace both units. We were outstandingly surprised with their pricing. Another company quoted us $40K to replace both units, AFAC & Heating ended up costing us $23K. Jesse, the owner and an Air Force veteran, was all hands on and so transparent and thorough with explaining their products. He took the time following up making sure we were being taken care of during the whole process. His crew was very courteous, pet friendly, and hardworking. They prepared our floors for their foot traffic and took the time to clean up. Thank you Air Force & Heating! We will definitely be referring your services!Posted on Mike RubinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I interviewed five or six hvac, guys, and jesse came out the winner. He's honest reasonable, that explains everything. the system he installed makes my large house ice cold, and I would highly recommend him.Posted on Viet TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Jason, the technician who diagnosed our system, and Jesse and his team who performed the installation of a new furnace and condenser unit. They were friendly, responsive, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend Air Force AC for your HVAC needs.Posted on Val DoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse Porter and his team are outstanding. Team members are caring, courteous and professional which is an indication of Jesse’s management. I highly recommend Air Force and have already recommended them to many who have used their services.Posted on Sidney TanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Air Force for a 2nd opinion on my AC that has stopped working. The first quote was for $14K which included a new HVAC system. I thought that was way too much. So, I called Air Force and Jesse answered my call and was so informative and knowledgeable. So, he sent Jason to come by. Jason did a very thorough job diagnosing the issue and found the problem. He fixed it and it cost me around $750. WOW! The other company was trying to sell me something I didn't need. If you want an honest company that does a great job, call Air Force. Thanks Jesse and Jason.Posted on Jaylin TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was very nice over the phone and when he arrived he was very nice in person my flame sensor was bad he made sure it was working before he left my home thank youPosted on Raymond GiragosianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse provided outstanding service once again… less than two years ago, I had Air Force Air Conditioning company to install a brand-new AC unit for me, twenty days before the labor and part warranty was going to expire, in early July/2024, the new unit’s compressor died … as soon as I contacted Air Force Air Conditioning Co. , Jaime one of the top technicians to visited my unit and concluded need a brand-new compressor. A day later, I wan in touch with Jesse, the owner, and he told me the manufacturer does not have any new compressor in stock and it will take about 20+ days for them to acquire that part, and as soon as manufacturer obtains and ships that part, Air Force Air Conditioning Co. will be able to replace my broken compressor. After 20 days, Jesse contacted me and said the manufacture has not been successful in acquiring the new part and Jesse has escalated the matter to the management of the manufacturer and he has convinced them to ship another identical brand-new AC unit instead…. Very next day Jesse sent the team, and they installed that brand-new unit for me, all under warranty… I was very grateful for Jesse’s outstanding support and service… I have been working with Jesse and the team for over 4 years now, and they have always delivered outstanding service….one key point that I am attempting to make here is Jesse is a genuinely good and caring individual, and you can rely on his commitments, and that is something hard to find these days, in my opinion. When you come across some bad luck situations, like I did, partnering and working with a business professional that has high ethical values and qualities is priceless, in my opinion. And that is what I have seen through the years from Jesse and his team, and I am truly grateful for the value they have delivered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this is my review from 2023....Great service, always. This company installed 2 units for me over the past 3 years. Always get a reliable service. The owner, Jesse, is personally involved and caring. Jesse communicates clearly and honestly; you know what to expect. His team, Jason, and Jaime, are very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. Highly recommend this firm's service.Posted on Terry HoffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent and Thorough Job Beginning to End. Jesse explains everything clearly. It all went smoothly.
Our AC Replacement Services in Ventura County
Air Force AC & Heating replaces AC systems for homes and businesses throughout Ventura County, making it easier to maintain comfort, reduce energy use, and have peace of mind. We handle everything from removing old equipment to installing the new system and verifying cooling performance. Our team removes the old air conditioner, installs the condenser and indoor coil, and tests the system to ensure it works properly, so you get a dependable long-term solution.
Remove Old AC Equipment
We turn off the power before starting any removal. Refrigerant is safely collected before we disconnect the old condenser and indoor coil. We cover nearby surfaces to protect them from marks or debris. After removing the old unit, we haul it away and prepare the area for the new system.
Install New Outdoor Unit and Indoor Coil
We install the outdoor condenser and indoor coil together to ensure the system is properly matched. The condenser is placed on a stable, level pad. We connect and seal the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring, then adjust the refrigerant charge to meet the system's specifications.
We can install a compatible thermostat with your new system. The control wiring is connected to match the new equipment. We test cooling and fan modes using the thermostat to check everything responds as it should.
We measure airflow at supply vents throughout your building. Our team checks the ductwork for leaks, gaps, or blockages that might impede airflow. If we find small leaks, we seal them during the service. We ensure airflow is balanced so every room receives proper cooling.
Types of Air Conditioners We Replace in Ventura
Every property needs a different type of AC system. The best replacement depends on your ductwork, layout, and cooling requirements. We replace central AC systems, ductless mini splits, and rooftop package units. Our team will help you select the system that fits your space.
Central AC
Central AC is a good choice for properties that already have ducts and vents. It uses an outdoor condenser and an indoor coil to cool the entire home. We recommend this option if you want one system for multiple rooms. When we replace your system, we check the ducts and airflow to guarantee everything fits properly.
Ductless Mini Split AC
Ductless mini splits work well for homes without ductwork. They are also a good option for additions, upstairs rooms, or areas that are difficult to keep cool. Each indoor unit cools its own zone and has independent controls. We replace these systems when you need targeted cooling in specific parts of your home.
Rooftop Package Unit
Rooftop package units are a good fit for many commercial properties in Ventura County. All main cooling components are housed in a single cabinet on the roof. The unit connects to your duct system and cools the space from above. We replace these packaged units for offices, shops, and other commercial spaces.

Signs Your AC Needs Replacement
Air conditioners lose cooling efficiency as key components wear out. If repair costs keep rising or cooling problems persist, it might be time to consider a replacement.
Common signs your air conditioner might require replacement include:
- Frequent breakdowns even after recent repairs
- Rising electricity use during normal cooling operation
- Uneven cooling between rooms
- System age near or above 15 years
- Compressor failure or other major component damage
- Refrigerant leaks or R-22 refrigerant systems
- Weak airflow or repeated frozen evaporator coils
- Loud grinding noises or burning smells from the system
NATE-Certified HVAC Technicians in Ventura
Air Force AC & Heating employs NATE-certified technicians for all AC replacements in Ventura. Our team evaluates cooling performance, airflow, and any system issues before starting the replacement. We follow all HVAC standards and manufacturer guidelines throughout the job. Your replacement is based on your system’s condition, airflow requirements, and equipment needs.
Benefits of New AC Replacement
A new AC system can improve cooling performance, balance airflow, and decrease energy consumption in your home. Rooms reach your set temperature more quickly and stay comfortable longer, helping you experience a cooler, more enjoyable living environment. You will often see reduced electricity bills and cleaner air after a replacement, making your investment worthwhile for comfort and ongoing savings.

Lower Energy Costs
New AC systems use electricity more efficiently than older models. They reach your set temperature faster and require fewer frequent runs. This can help lower your monthly electricity bills.
Improved Air Quality
Older cooling systems tend to accumulate dust on their coils and internal components. New systems use modern filters and provide cleaner airflow, which can help reduce dust inside your home.
More Even Cooling
Older systems usually leave some rooms hotter or cooler than others. Selecting the right system size and balancing airflow help cool your home more evenly, resulting in fewer hot spots and more consistent temperatures.
Reduced Repair Expenses
As air conditioners age, they need repairs more often as parts wear out. New systems come with brand-new components and a manufacturer’s warranty. With fewer worn parts, you will need fewer repairs and service calls.
How We Replace Your Air Conditioner
We follow a clear process for every AC replacement, from your first call to the final system test. This includes inspection, equipment installation, and verification that everything works correctly.Brands We Service

Frequently Asked Questions
What AC size do I need for my home?
The right AC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window orientation, and how air moves through your ducts. Our technicians measure these factors and perform a load calculation to select the appropriate unit. Getting the size right helps prevent short cycling and keeps your home properly cooled.
Should I replace the indoor coil when replacing my AC unit?
Replacing the indoor coil ensures your new condenser fits the rest of the system. Mixing old and new components can reduce cooling efficiency and cause refrigerant pressure problems. Matching all equipment helps preserve steady airflow and cooling performance.
How long does an AC replacement take?
Most AC replacements take just one day if the equipment and ductwork are in good condition. If electrical work or duct modifications are needed, it may take slightly longer. We will verify the timeline and installation date before we begin.
Will my new air conditioner come with a warranty?
New air conditioners come with manufacturer warranties that cover major components such as the compressor and coil. Coverage duration depends on the brand and whether the product is registered. Our technicians handle the registration paperwork, so your warranty is in place for future repairs.
How can duct problems affect my new AC system?
Leaky or undersized ducts can reduce airflow and prevent cool air from reaching every room. Blocked ducts also force your system to work harder and consume more energy. A duct inspection can identify airflow loss, leaks, or sizing issues that affect your cooling.
What should I do to prepare before installation day?
Before installation, clear the area around your indoor air handler and outdoor condenser. Move any furniture or breakable items that might obstruct access. Having an open workspace helps our technicians safely remove the old unit and install the new one.
Can I replace only the outdoor AC unit?
Replacing just the outdoor condenser can cause cooling problems. Modern systems are designed to work as matched sets with the indoor coil and refrigerant setup. Mixing old and new components can lower efficiency and shorten your equipment’s lifespan.
Will my electrical system support a new AC unit?
Some new air conditioners require additional electrical capacity, depending on their size. Our technicians check your electrical panel, disconnect switch, and wiring before installation. This ensures your new unit receives steady power during operation.
