AC Repair across Greater Los Angeles
I’m Bram Vance. SoCal HVAC is a one-man, one-truck shop based in Sherman Oaks — and AC repair is something I handle across every corner of LA County I can reach in under an hour.
Most AC calls I take get diagnosed in 15 minutes and fixed inside an hour. Bring me on before you get quoted for a whole new system.
Typical AC repair cost
$140–$520 — Parts + labor. Most single-failure repairs land in the $180–$320 range.
What I see most often
- Warm air blowing from vents
- Outdoor unit humming but not turning on
- Tripped breaker every time AC starts
Usual fixes:
- Run capacitor — $20 part, 20 minute job
- Contactor replacement — $30 part, most common cause of a dead condenser
- Condenser fan motor — $180-$380 depending on unit

Why I don’t have a crew
I ran a three-truck crew from 2019 to 2021. Quality went down, complaints went up, and I was spending all day managing instead of wrenching. I shut it down, bought a single truck, and started taking calls personally again. Business is better — and my customers are way happier.
Phone’s always on: 866-402-5678. If I’m mid-repair I’ll call back within the hour.
