Woodland Hills HVAC Repair & AC Repair Services | Unity Home Services

When your air conditioner stops cooling during a hot Woodland Hills summer, you need a local HVAC company you can trust. At Unity Home Services, we specialize in honest, professional HVAC repair, AC repair, contactor replacement, refrigerant charging, and complete air conditioning diagnostics throughout Woodland Hills and the surrounding San Fernando Valley.

Our philosophy is simple: repair first whenever possible. We take the time to diagnose the actual problem before recommending expensive replacements. Many HVAC companies immediately suggest installing a new system, but in many cases a quality repair can restore comfort while saving homeowners thousands of dollars.

Professional Air Conditioning Repair in Woodland Hills

A malfunctioning air conditioner can quickly make your home uncomfortable, especially during the hottest months of the year. Our experienced HVAC technicians diagnose all major air conditioning problems, including:

  • Air conditioner not cooling

  • AC blowing warm air

  • Frozen evaporator coils

  • Weak airflow

  • Loud noises

  • Short cycling

  • Water leaks

  • Electrical failures

  • Thermostat issues

  • High electric bills

Every repair begins with a complete inspection. We check refrigerant pressures, electrical components, airflow, filters, blower performance, condenser operation, capacitors, contactors, coils, and thermostat communication before recommending repairs.

This honest diagnostic process helps ensure you only pay for repairs you actually need.

HVAC Contactor Repair and Replacement

One of the most common air conditioning failures is a worn or damaged HVAC contactor.

The contactor acts like an electrical switch that allows power to flow from your home’s electrical system to the outdoor condenser unit. Every time your air conditioner starts, the contactor opens and closes. After thousands of cycles, the contacts become worn, pitted, or stuck.

Signs of a failing contactor include:

  • Outdoor unit won’t start

  • Clicking noises

  • AC starts intermittently

  • Compressor won’t turn on

  • Fan runs but compressor doesn’t

  • Burned electrical smell

Ignoring a bad contactor can eventually damage more expensive components such as the compressor.

At Unity Home Services, we inspect every contactor during our repair visits and replace worn contactors using quality HVAC parts designed for long-lasting reliability.

Refrigerant Recharge (Freon Recharge)

If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, simply adding more refrigerant without finding the leak is not the proper repair.

Many homeowners ask for a “Freon refill,” but refrigerant does not get used up like gasoline. If your AC system is low, there is usually a leak somewhere in the sealed refrigeration system.

Our technicians first perform a complete diagnosis before adding refrigerant.

We inspect:

  • Refrigerant pressures

  • Superheat

  • Subcooling

  • Evaporator temperature

  • Condenser operation

  • Line temperatures

  • Visible oil leaks

  • Schrader valves

  • Coil condition

Once repairs are completed, we recharge the system according to manufacturer specifications.

We service systems using modern refrigerants as well as many older systems where repair is still practical.

Why Proper Refrigerant Charge Matters

An air conditioner that contains too little refrigerant can experience:

  • Poor cooling

  • Frozen evaporator coil

  • Reduced efficiency

  • Higher electric bills

  • Compressor overheating

  • Premature compressor failure

An overcharged system can also create serious performance problems.

Using professional gauges and proper diagnostic procedures ensures your air conditioning system operates safely and efficiently.

Honest HVAC Diagnostics

One thing that separates Unity Home Services from many HVAC companies is our commitment to accurate diagnostics.

Instead of guessing, we carefully inspect the entire HVAC system.

We evaluate:

  • Indoor blower performance

  • Airflow restrictions

  • Dirty evaporator coils

  • Condenser condition

  • Electrical connections

  • Capacitors

  • Contactors

  • Compressor amperage

  • Thermostat operation

  • Air filters

  • Ductwork

  • Refrigerant levels

Taking the extra time to diagnose the problem often saves homeowners money and prevents unnecessary repairs.

Preventative HVAC Maintenance

Routine maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns.

Our HVAC maintenance service includes:

  • Cleaning condenser coils

  • Checking electrical connections

  • Testing capacitors

  • Inspecting contactors

  • Measuring refrigerant pressures

  • Cleaning drain lines

  • Inspecting blower components

  • Checking temperature split

  • Replacing customer-provided filters if needed

  • Testing overall system performance

Preventative maintenance can improve efficiency, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your HVAC equipment.

The History of Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills has a fascinating history that stretches back thousands of years. Long before modern neighborhoods were built, the area was home to Native American communities, including the Fernandeño-Tataviam and Chumash peoples, who lived near the Santa Monica Mountains and local waterways.

Spanish explorers entered the San Fernando Valley in 1769 during the Portolá Expedition, and the land later became part of the Mission San Fernando Rey de España. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the area gradually transitioned from ranch land and farming into residential development.

In 1922, developer Victor Girard purchased thousands of acres and founded the community of Girard. He promoted the area by planting more than 120,000 trees, constructing roads, and encouraging new businesses and residents to move there. The community eventually adopted the name Woodland Hills in the 1940s, reflecting the beautiful tree-lined landscape created during its early development.

Today, Woodland Hills is known for its excellent neighborhoods, access to the Santa Monica Mountains, shopping along Ventura Boulevard, Warner Center, and its convenient location near Topanga, Calabasas, Tarzana, and West Hills. Because of its warm climate, dependable air conditioning remains one of the most important home comfort systems for local residents.
