AC Installation in Granada Hills — done right the first time
Granada Hills has a lot of 1960s-70s tract homes — I’m still swapping out original 40-year-old furnaces up here.
I cover Knollwood, Rinaldi Estates — along with everything in between.
My name’s Bram. I run SoCal HVAC out of Sherman Oaks, and Granada Hills is firmly inside my daily route. When you call me for new AC installation in Granada Hills, you get me personally — no dispatcher, no sales script, no bait-and-switch diagnostic fee.
What Granada Hills homes deal with
Valley heat meets Santa Susana ridge — summers here push 100°F for weeks.
When I roll up for a new AC installation call in Granada Hills, I come prepared for what this neighborhood actually throws at HVAC systems — not some generic checklist.
Symptoms I hear about the most from Granada Hills
- System is over 15 years old and repairs keep stacking up
- Refrigerant type is R-22 (phased out — recharges are $500+)
- House never gets to setpoint on 95°F+ days
- Compressor has already been replaced once
What’s usually wrong, and what it costs
The good news: most new AC installation calls aren’t the disaster everyone fears. The typical fixes I do in Granada Hills look like this:
- Matching the indoor evaporator to the outdoor condenser — critical for efficiency
- Properly sized replacement (Manual J, not rule-of-thumb)
- Upgrading from single-stage to two-stage or variable-speed where it makes sense
- Sealing and testing the existing ductwork before reconnecting
Most jobs in this category land in the $4,800–$12,500 range. Complete system replacement with matched indoor/outdoor. Varies with tonnage, SEER, and duct condition.
How the visit works
- You call Granada Hills’s best-kept secret (me) at 866-402-5678. I answer. If I’m on a roof I’ll call back within 30 minutes.
- We pick a two-hour arrival window. I text you the morning of with an ETA.
- Diagnostic on arrival — flat $79, waived if you move forward. You get the price before I touch anything.
- Repair same visit when parts are on the van (they usually are).
- 2-year labor warranty on installs, 1-year on repair labor, plus whatever the manufacturer gives on parts. If the same failure comes back, so do I — no questions.
Why homeowners in Granada Hills keep calling me
“One truck, one phone, one pair of hands. I don’t farm out calls to subs.” — Bram V., SoCal HVAC
I’m not running a marketing funnel. I don’t have a call center. I don’t pay kickbacks to plumbers or real-estate agents for referrals. The only reason my phone rings is because the last Granada Hills customer was happy enough to tell their neighbor.
I don’t sell you a system — I size one. I’ll run a real load calc, tell you the three options that make sense, and let you decide. No pressure, no commission-based quotes.
