What is different about HVAC work in Hollywood
Hollywood is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, not a city of its own. Replacing a furnace or an air conditioner here takes a mechanical permit from LADBS, and the electricity comes from LADWP, which is the utility to ask about rebates. Both differ from West Hollywood, a short drive west, where the city and Southern California Edison take those roles.
Most Hollywood homes are rented apartments. In ZIP 90028 nearly all households rent, more than nine in ten homes are in buildings of five or more units, and over half were built before 1970. Cooling a unit there starts with the owner's approval, and where the building has no ducts it usually points to a mini split.
Hollywood falls in climate zone 9, with August averages in the low 80s and mild winter nights. On a changeout, that zone adds a refrigerant charge check to the Title 24 duct leakage test.

Hollywood questions
Who issues the permit to replace an air conditioner in Hollywood?
LADBS, the City of Los Angeles building department. Hollywood has no city government of its own, so a changeout here goes through LADBS, often as an online Express Permit, and we pull it for you.
Do you work in the Hollywood Hills?
Yes. We cover the Hollywood Hills along with Whitley Heights, Franklin Village, Spaulding Square, Little Armenia, Thai Town and East Hollywood.
Can a Hollywood apartment get air conditioning without ducts?
Yes. A ductless mini split mounts on the wall and connects to a small outdoor unit through a narrow line set. In a rented building the owner approves the install, and the permit comes from LADBS.
