About us

Long Beach Heating & Air Conditioning incorporated in 1957 and was formerly American Heating Company in the early 1940's. At that time a service call was $5.00, a thermostat cost $15.95, a brand new dual Wall furnace was $39.95, We were located at 5057 Long Beach Blvd. and our phone number was 20-4985. 62 years later American Heating lives on and not much has changed. We are 4 blocks from the original location, our phone number is 424-4985, and a service call has only increased less than $1 dollar a year! Long Beach Heating and Air Conditioning is without a doubt the most reliable HVAC company in Long Beach. We remain locally owned & operated by Tom White, who started working for the company in 1978. Our Motto is "Big enough to take care of your needs, but small enough to give you personalized service" Today's technology and the reliability of years past.

We just had Mark come out today.FANTASTIC! Let me step back a bit before sing LBHAC praises. We had a whole house remodel done. It included some duct redirects. We were not getting any air from vents we used to gets icicles from. So, we contacted another company. They climbed in the attic and determined the ducts were all just really old. Did not see any issues beyond age. They tested the A/C Unit and reported that due to it's age, we should probably think about replacement. Bottom line, new 4 ton A/C Unit plus all new duct work, $11,500. Fast forward to today. Mark from LBHAC came by. Went into the attic, came down and reported that one of the ducts went nowhere. Well, actually, it was keeping the attic nice a cool... Result? Mark sealed off the duct and now we have much cooler air in the house. He also checked out and replaced a filter. He looked at the A/C Unit and found it to be from Kohler. Very highly rated and generally not found in residential use. No issues with the A/C Unit at all. We will definitely use LBHAC again!

Three years ago we bought a new central heating system. The old one was very inefficient. We kept the ac unit because Tom indicated it had quite a few years left on it. I was so impressed by the service I received from both the workers and office staff. I purchased a three year maintenance agreement. I usually do not bother with this kind of option but I am sure glad I did. The office staff calls to remind me that it is time for the unit to be checked. This include cleaning the filter which is quite necessary. I mentioned to the tech that my large TV room does not get warm or cold as some of the bedrooms. He suggested I call and set up a appointment to have my dampers adjusted. Tech came right on schedule and spent some time doing the adjustments. He also mention I may be having an electrical problem with a junction box up in the attic. He suggested I call an electrician to check the safety hazard. I haven't had a need to check the adjustments made on the dampers. But I'm sure it will make a difference in the efficiency of my system.

My old furnace fan was making ugly noises, so I called LBHA to come out. They were so booked that they could not come until 6 days later. The furnace was quite old, and the fan was worn and wobbling, but more importantly they found that there was a crack in the heat exchanger. So, I needed a new furnace. Again, because they were heavily booked, and had to order the new equipment, the work could not be done until a week later. However, they were right on time for both appointments, and did an excellent job of installing the new furnace. The new one had a larger footprint, but was not nearly as tall, as the old one, so they had to do some cutting into the floor, and build up venting on top, for it to fit properly. They did a really nice job of both. They also rewired my programmable thermostat, to make the fan phases work more efficiently. They made sure everything was working correctly before they finished. They were neat, careful not to ding the walls when moving the furnaces, and cleaned up their work area when done. I will definitely use them in the future.

AC installation. Not a straightforward job either, because it was a new installation that had to be configured with my hydronic furnace (something you rarely see). The vast majority of HVAC guys I contacted didn't even know how to install an air conditioner that would work with a hydronic furnace and air handler. Not only did they do the job well, they did it for the best price. I especially want to give a shout out to their employee Mark, who went the extra mile by saving my drywall - instead of knocking out closet drywall to fix a broken air tube - Mark crawled up a very tiny space and was able to connect it without cutting open my wall. He was also extremely knowledgeable in everything. Highly recommend!

home inspection, heating & air conditioning/hvac

The heater in our new home was always iffy; the inducer on the motor was noted to be 'bad' by the inspector. However, with some fiddling we got it to work enough to get through the first year. After a year, it died completely. I recalled that LBHA did a reasonable job with the air conditioner install, so I called them. A tech came out and confirmed the motor was bad, and then we were sent a quote - for $570 + $80 for their agreement that the motor was bad. Note that we *already* knew the motor was bad - this $80 was just for the pleasure of them coming out to do business with us. I initially agreed to the price, and then I looked up the part on Amazon Prime. There it was for $180, free shipping. I then found a Youtube video showing how to install the item - the video was about ten minutes long (meaning, it is not a big deal). So I ordered the item and fixed it myself. I am not very mechanically inclined, and I have never worked on a heater before. With this non-knowledge, and armed with the helpful Youtube video, I was able to install this part in about 30 minutes. Thirty minutes - by someone with no experience! This company wanted to charge me a total of $650 for the trivial installation of a part that costs a fraction of that. This is beyond greedy. If I - someone who knows nothing - can buy a part for $180 and install it myself in 30 minutes, then professional company should be ashamed to quote this much money. They are now hounding me for the $80 "inspection" fee, where they did not tell me a single thing that I did not already know. I *knew* the motor was bad - it was on the home inspection report. This is definitely a bad company that is looking to prey upon consumers, and will try to bully you with fees and overpriced service. Do not use them, and look to do the work yourself or by someone more legitimate - doing so will save you a lot of money.
Description of Work: LBHA installed the central air in our home in 2013 - that went well, and they did a reasonable job. They then came out to give us a quote on our broken heater late last year, in which they did a terrible job.

I told them to order the board and make sure the control board was compatible with my system. Then again on the phone told them make sure it is compatible. Upon the technicians second visit, he replaced the board, but it was not compatible. I had him put the old ones back on. After going back into met attic where the work was performed, I find out he put the wires back in but in a way where I could not put the board covers back on and found that he had cut into the ducting to inspect the damper, but he never re-sealed the duct work. At this point I am done with this company. They had the nerve to send me a bill for the second visit, I kindly told them NO. Feb 2015 they are still trying to bill me for incompetent work.
Description of Work: Annual service performed on 6/25 went fine & cost $80. Then on the second visit they were to replace my 2 control boards with one.

Would have use them in a heartbeat had they been able to fit me in!
Description of Work: Called for a second opinion on replacing residential HVAC unit. The gal on the phone was knowledgeable, giving me quotes over the phone for base, mid, and top of the line models on 3 different set-ups (condenser & coil, just furnace, complete system) and 3 different sizes. Was upfront about her schedule (completely booked for the next 7 day) and the $80 service call to diagnose a problem. Gave me solid advice about general maintenance (once to twice a year depending on usage, pre-season FALL and SPRING, instead of high season summer and winter)

They did an excellent job. The installer was very professional and pleasant. He explained to me everything he was doing and what improvements he made over the previous ac. He Tested the unit and took temps of air going into and out of the system. The installer was very knowledgable and felt he was very honest with me. Also the young lady who made the phone calls and communicated with me was always pleasant and professional.

Called Long Beach heating and A/C because the fan on my outside compressor unit was failing. The two Gals I talked to were very pleasant and professional and made sure all my special requests were taken care of. They explained that they are very busy but set an appointment for them to come over in about a week. Which seemed reasonable since the weather is getting warmer and I am sure everyone wants their A/C working. Kristopher showed up and and I explained the problem. He went right to work and diagnosed the problem very quickly. He explained my options and replaced the faulty Capacitor. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He replaced the part and had the unit together in no time. I turned on the A/C and and it was blowing cold air in a few seconds. I am very satisfied with the work preformed and would recommend Long Beach A/C to anyone.

Everything was done to my complete satisfaction.
Description of Work: Mario from Long Beach Heating and Air Conditioning showed up promptly, was very friendly and courteous, but most of all competent. He fixed my Central Heater, which was not fully coming on. Mario then did a complete check of the heater and the air conditioner and discussed with me the status of them, what to expect in the future, and little things I could do to keep them working at top performance. He even took me up in the attic and discussed parts of the heater with it all opened up. Mario was great, and I will certainly use Long Beach Heating and Air Conditioning again! Thanks Mario!

All went smoothly, efficiently, and on time -- at the quoted price.
Description of Work: Replaced furnace after new double-pane windows and insulation in attic and below floor all failed to provide a warm environment. When the house STILL was cool despite a thermostat set at 72 degrees we called company owner Tom White and he immediately sent a crew over to evaluate the problem They sized up the problem quickly and it appears that we finally, after years of uncomfortably cold evening temperatures and the sense that the entire house was drafty, can sit back in climate comfort.

These guys were great. Tom White explained everything thoroughly during initial consultation. The installers arrived on time, worked efficiently and their cleanup was above and beyond any I've ever seen done. They vacuumed up all debris in the home, even painted part of the door jam to the furnace area where a foot print had been left. Coordinated for HERS rater to come out and for city inspector to come out.

Business receptionist was very helpful and concerned. Contacted service person in the field immediately. Service person was very professional, punctual, was able to repair and get the heater going in less than an hour. Offered to replace the filter at cost of filter so that owner would not have to go out and purchase and install the filter. Very pleased with the service and will definitely use this company again when the need arises.
