I'm Leo from LC Heating & Air. If your home has rooms that never seem to get comfortable or your energy bills are climbing, your ductwork is likely the culprit. We specialize in finding and fixing hidden leaks in your home's air distribution system.
Duct Cleaning & Air Duct Service in Calabasas Country Club
LC Heating & Air provides duct cleaning in Calabasas Country Club — including air duct cleaning, duct repair service, duct sealing, HVAC ductwork. Whether you need same-day service, a written estimate, or help deciding between repair and replacement, our licensed technicians handle every make and model.
We repair and service all major HVAC brands in Calabasas Country Club, including Carrier, Trane, and Goodman, and older or discontinued units. No matter the manufacturer, we diagnose the problem accurately and give you an upfront price before any work begins.
In the Calabasas Country Club area, we deal with custom homes that often have complex, multi-zone HVAC systems. When these systems aren't performing, it's rarely just the unit itself—it's usually the ductwork. I see a lot of homes where the air is being lost in the attic or crawl space before it ever reaches your living room.
My job is to provide a clear, honest assessment. I don't believe in guessing or pushing for a full replacement if a repair will get your system running the way it was designed to. At LC Heating & Air, we use diagnostic tools to show you exactly where your system is losing air so you can make an informed decision.

Common Duct Issues in Our Hillside Community
Living in a hillside community like Calabasas Country Club means your HVAC system faces unique challenges. We frequently find crushed flex duct caused by past attic work or settling, which restricts airflow to specific rooms. Because of the intense summer heat, any leak in your supply ducts means you are pumping expensive, cooled air directly into a hot attic.
Another pattern I see is disconnected joints at the plenums or boots. Over time, the mastic or tape dries out, and the ductwork shifts. This creates a whistling sound and causes the system to work much harder than necessary. We focus on sealing these leaks to ensure the air you pay to cool actually makes it into your home.
Handling Custom Estate Ductwork
Calabasas Country Club features large custom homes with high-efficiency upgrades and multi-zone systems. These systems are sophisticated, but they are also sensitive to duct leakage. When a multi-zone system has a leak, it can throw off the balance of the entire house, making one room freezing while another stays warm.
We understand the architecture here. We know how to navigate tight attic spaces and access points to inspect your ductwork thoroughly. We don't just look for the obvious; we look for the systemic issues that cause uneven temperatures across your estate.
Our Diagnostic Process
I don't start any repairs until I've diagnosed the problem. First, we perform a visual inspection of all accessible ductwork. Then, we use a duct blaster test to pressurize your system. This allows us to measure exactly how much air is leaking out.
We also measure the airflow at your registers. If a room isn't getting enough air, we need to know if it's a blockage, a leak, or a design issue. Once we have the data, I sit down with you to explain what we found and provide a written estimate for the repair.
Repair vs. Replacement: The Honest Truth
A common question I get is whether it's better to repair the ducts or replace the whole system. My answer is simple: if the ductwork is structurally sound but just has leaks at the joints or minor tears, we can repair it. Repairing these leaks can save you 15–25% on your energy consumption.
However, if the ducts are undersized for your equipment or the material is falling apart, patching it is just a temporary fix. If the system is worth repairing, I will tell you. If the pattern points to replacement, I will explain why. My goal is to provide a solution that makes sense for your home's long-term comfort.
What Affects the Cost of Duct Work
The cost of duct repair depends on the accessibility of the ducts and the extent of the damage. A simple reconnection of a flex duct is much different than sealing an entire system with Aeroseal. Because of the guard-gated entry and specific neighborhood rules in Calabasas Country Club, we coordinate our scheduling carefully to ensure we have the time and access needed to do the job right.
We provide transparent, written estimates before we start. We don't use hidden fees or sales tactics. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why it's necessary for your home's efficiency.
Air Quality and Safety
Leaky ducts are more than just an efficiency problem; they are a health issue. When your return ducts leak in an attic, they pull in dust, insulation fibers, and potential mold spores, which are then distributed throughout your home. Sealing these leaks is one of the most effective ways to improve your indoor air quality.
We take safety seriously. We ensure that all repairs meet local standards and that your HVAC system is operating safely. We don't cut corners, because your family's health and the integrity of your home depend on it.
Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest mistake I see is homeowners trying to fix duct leaks with standard duct tape. It doesn't hold up to the temperature fluctuations in an attic. We use professional-grade mastic and foil tape designed for HVAC systems. Another mistake is assuming that a new AC unit will fix comfort issues; if your ducts are leaking, even a brand-new system will struggle to keep your home comfortable.
Don't ignore the signs. If you hear whistling or notice rooms that are always too hot, let us take a look. Catching these issues early is always cheaper than waiting for a complete system failure.
Scheduling Your Service
We know that living in a gated community like Calabasas Country Club requires coordination. We are familiar with the vendor hours and access rules. When you call (323) 970-3113, we will work with you to find a time that fits your schedule and complies with your neighborhood's requirements.

Is Your System Ready for Repair?
If you are unsure whether your ducts need repair, start by checking your registers. If they are dusty or if you notice weak airflow in certain rooms, that's a red flag. If your energy bills have spiked without a change in your usage, it's time for a professional diagnostic.
At LC Heating & Air, we believe in being practical. We will inspect your system, show you the leaks, and give you an honest recommendation. If a repair will restore your comfort and efficiency, we'll do it. If it's time to consider other options, we'll explain why.

“Our AC stopped working during a heat wave and LC had a technician here within two hours. He diagnosed a bad capacitor, had the part on his truck, and fixed it on the spot. Fair price, no upsell. Will use again.”
“Called on a Saturday because AC was blowing warm air. LC answered, sent someone the same afternoon. They found and fixed a refrigerant leak. Professional and reasonably priced.”
“Woke up to no AC at 6am. LC was at my door by 9am. Frozen evaporator coil — they explained exactly why it happened (dirty filter + low airflow) and fixed it same visit. Very professional.”
