I’m Leo, owner of LC Heating & Air. When your heater stops working in Highland Park, you don’t need a sales pitch—you need someone who understands the specific quirks of our local housing stock. Whether you are living in a historic Craftsman along the Arroyo Seco or a modern remodel, I approach every service call by looking at the whole system, not just the part that failed.
My team and I handle everything from simple flame sensor cleanings to complex furnace diagnostics. We are fully licensed (CSLB #1073586) and insured, and we always provide a written estimate before we start any work. If your system is worth repairing, I’ll tell you. If it’s time to consider a replacement, I’ll explain exactly why.

Common Heating Issues in Highland Park
Highland Park homes often present unique challenges due to their age. We frequently see systems that have been modified piecemeal over the decades—a furnace added in the 60s, ductwork moved during a remodel, and an AC unit tacked on later. This patchwork often leads to airflow restrictions, short-cycling, and uneven heating.
Common issues we see include failed igniters, dirty flame sensors, and thermocouple issues in older wall heaters. Because many of our homes have older electrical layouts or limited attic access, we take extra time to check your equipment placement and duct condition before recommending a repair. It’s about making sure the fix actually solves the problem rather than just masking a symptom.
Heating Systems in Historic and Modern Homes
Whether you are in a Victorian near Heritage Square or a newer infill build, the heating system needs to match the building's characteristics. Older homes often lack the insulation or duct capacity for modern high-efficiency systems, which is why we perform a thorough assessment of your existing setup.
If you are renovating, don't just replace the furnace. We look at the whole system—duct leakage, electrical capacity, and combustion safety. A properly designed system that fits your specific home will always outperform a generic, off-the-shelf installation.
Our Diagnostic Process
When I arrive at your home, I don't start by guessing. I start by listening to your concerns and inspecting the equipment. We check the ignition, burners, flame sensing, and venting to ensure everything is operating safely.
For gas appliances, we prioritize combustion safety analysis and carbon monoxide checks. Once we identify the root cause, we provide a written estimate. You will know exactly what the repair costs before we turn a single wrench.
Repair or Replace?
This is the most common question I get at the kitchen table. If a repair is affordable and the equipment has life left, I’ll fix it. I’m not here to sell you a new system if you don’t need one.
However, if your system is constantly breaking down, the heat exchanger is cracked, or the cost of the repair is a significant percentage of a new unit, I will be honest with you. We look at the long-term reliability and safety of your current unit to help you make the best decision for your home and your budget.
Safety First
Your family's safety is the most important part of my job. If you smell gas, turn off the heater, open your windows, leave the house, and call SoCalGas immediately at 1-800-427-2200. Once the gas company clears the scene, give us a call to inspect the equipment.
We also check for proper venting and carbon monoxide levels during every furnace service. Never ignore a yellow or flickering flame; it’s a sign that your heater isn't burning fuel correctly, which can be dangerous.
Scheduling Your Service
We serve the entire 90042 area and surrounding neighborhoods like Eagle Rock and Mount Washington. We know your time is valuable, so we offer same-day service for most calls if you reach out by 10 AM.
When we schedule your visit, we account for the specific access needs of your home—whether that means navigating tight attic spaces or working around older electrical setups. We show up on time, prepared, and ready to work.
Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest mistake I see is ignoring small warning signs. A heater that makes a strange banging or clicking noise is usually trying to tell you something is wrong. Waiting until the system fails completely on the coldest night of the year is never a good plan.
Another mistake is 'patchwork' maintenance. If you keep fixing one small part without looking at the whole system, you’ll end up spending more money in the long run. We believe in doing the job right the first time so you aren't calling us back for the same issue.
Cost factors and rebates — Heater Repair in Highland Park
Heater Repair pricing in Highland Park reflects access, parts lead time, and whether rebates (IRA, TECH Clean California, or utility programs) apply to your equipment type.
Written estimates follow site review; call (323) 970-3113 to schedule.
Making the Right Choice for Your Home
When deciding between a repair and a replacement, consider the age of your equipment and the frequency of your repairs. If your heater is over 15 years old and requires a major part, it might be time to look at newer, more efficient options.
We help you weigh the costs of the immediate repair against the potential energy savings and reliability of a new system. My goal is to provide you with all the facts so you can make a decision that makes sense for your household.

What Highland Park customers say about heater repair
Verified reviews from homeowners in Highland Park and nearby neighborhoods who used our heater repair service.
“After the Eaton Fire, our ducts smelled like smoke. LC did a full cleaning — negative air pressure, rotary brushes, the works. Air quality in our home is completely different now. They were sensitive to what our neighborhood went through.”
“LC replaced our ancient wall furnace with a proper ducted system. They designed the ductwork from scratch for our bungalow. Took three days and the result is better than I expected — even heat throughout the whole house.”
“Had LC do a load calculation before choosing a new system. They recommended a smaller unit than the others — and they were right. Perfect comfort, lower bills, and the system doesn't short-cycle.”
