What makes this county different for HVAC
Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 show about 43% of county homes built before 1960 and about 54% of households renting. Many of those homes got air conditioning long after they were built, so ducts and panels are often the real limit. See how our HVAC contractor work is organized, or go straight to air conditioning or heating.
Rules vary as much as housing. The county holds 88 cities plus unincorporated areas, and each city runs its own permits. Unincorporated addresses go to LA County Public Works, and a county 82°F rental rule is due to start there no earlier than January 1, 2027 (check current county rules). Under the 2025 Energy Code, replacing equipment triggers duct testing countywide.
Utilities shift too. Most of these communities use Southern California Edison and SoCalGas, but Pasadena has Pasadena Water and Power, and Long Beach runs its own gas system.

Los Angeles County questions
Does Proair cover all of Los Angeles County?
No. We focus on the southeast county around our South Gate shop, and the wider list on this page is scheduled address by address. The county stretches across thousands of square miles, including desert in the north, and that is well outside our range. Call with your address and we will tell you plainly whether we can schedule it.
Who issues HVAC permits in Los Angeles County?
Your city does, if you live in one of the 88 incorporated cities. Unincorporated addresses go to LA County Public Works Building and Safety, which uses a Service Locator to match your address to an office. Mailing names can mislead, so check before you apply, and ask your contractor who pulls the permit, in writing.
Do older Los Angeles County homes need new ducts with a new AC?
Not automatically, but they must pass. The 2025 Energy Code requires existing ducts on replaced equipment to test at 10% total leakage or less, or 7% to the outside. If neither is possible, accessible leaks are sealed and verified. Homes built before 1960 often need repairs before they reach those numbers.
