What Do We Do For This Job?
We performed a repair on a gas heating furnace that had been shut down via red tagging.
Whenever a local gas company finds a potentially dangerous situation with a gas furnace or any other potentially hazardous appliance, they will issue a red tag. The gas company will then, as per procedure and federal safety requirements, shut down the unit.
This procedure is commonly known as Red Tagging. It can be done to furnaces, water heaters, electrical panels, and so on. In order to get the unit back up and running safely, a licensed company must perform the necessary repairs correctly.
In this specific customer’s case, they chose us to take charge of repairing their red-tagged gas heating furnace.
Once all of the necessary repairs and replacements for the gas furnace were taken care of, the gas company came back to check out our work, and everything was as fit as a fiddle.
Their gas heating furnace had been successfully repaired and was back on in no time.
When this client called for a Central AC Unit in Whittier CA to be installed, we had just the right solution for them.
Take a look at this Condenser Replacement job that we recently did in town.
A local customer called us to give them a quote on replacing a rooftop package unit for one of the buildings at the city corporate yard. The building holds vehicles that service the city. This is where they receive maintenance and repairs.
Our comfort specialist went out to look at the property on the same day that they called. He determined what unit would be correctly sized for the building by measuring square footage and conducting a load calculation.
Choosing the right system is important and will prevent high utility bills, additional maintenance and premature equipment failure. The client mentioned that one of the attractive qualities about our proposal was the fact that we also offered to take air flow measurements and combustion testing after the installation.
Furthermore we would take care of all documentation required by the city for the project.
Upon completion of the installation, the clients were very happy. As is standard protocol with our services, we offered free maintenance service to ensure that the system will operate efficiently and withstand its 15-20 year life expectancy. Call CWP Heating & Air today to help you with your next commercial project.
HVAC units have a life expectancy. As they age, they require more maintenance.
Have a look at this commercial hvac repair job that we did in Santa Fe Springs.
The great thing about HVAC repair is that with replacement of a few key parts, they can be up and running again in tip top shape.
A local customer of ours was in the process of renovating his business. One of his plans on his renovation checklist was to upgrade his old HVAC system. We installed a new Trane 3.5 ton XR14 14 SEER condenser.
Condenser Replacement in Whittier CA is a service that we really enjoy performing. Time and time again customers will report how much they save in energy costs after having their condenser replaced.
Going forward, this customer will enjoy lower energy costs while maintaining a more comfortable, healthy, and even more productive work environment for his occupants.
Be sure to call us, CWP HVAC, for all of your HVAC needs.
Ductwork is responsible for moving the cooled or heated air thoughtout your home. A well designed duct system will keep your home at an even temperature and maximize your system’s efficiency. However, ducts can get damaged. They also can be connected incorrectly. Air can be lost through holes, leaks, or vents. For a homeowner in Whittier, we replaced, sealed, and patched all her ductwork. The customer can now feel more comfortable in her home and even save on her utility bill. Our technicians will make sure that your ducts are sized correctly and even determine how much air is leaking out of your duct system. Call us today to have us inspect your ductwork.
CWP HVAC specializes in HVAC repair of all sorts. We are not just a reseller of air conditioners and furnaces. We of course serve residential customers, repairing HVAC systems like air conditioners and furnaces and split systems (or central air systems). But we also provide commercial air conditioning and heating & ventilation services, too!
In fact, we service a lot of HVAC issues in a lot of areas throughout Southern California. Of course, we also do sell air conditioning units and furnaces. Just remember, like this business below, you should call us when you need a repair on your HVAC system.
A local business’ air conditioning stopped when they needed it the most. They called us the day it broke, and we were able to come out and analyze their system on the same day. We had their unit back up and running in no time.
What went wrong?
The condenser fan motor pulls out air from a unit. It will blow the heat away from the condenser through its fins and cools down the freon that flows inside. A motor will usually stop working if the bearings seize or they draw the wrong amperage.
This condenser fan motor had both bad bearings and, because of that, it was drawing way too much amperage. This is bad on two fronts: it is bad for the machine, of course, but it also costs a lot of money when you are using that much electricity and getting nothing in return!
Our commercial customers are especially keen on our maintenance contracts, though we offer them for residential customers, too. We let them know that a maintenance contract would make it so we will first of all inspect the AC system semi annually to keep most problems away by keeping the system in good repair.
Sometimes things happen, though. Now, if they ever have an issue with their commercial air conditioning unit we will go out to Santa Fe Springs and troubleshoot their units free of additional charge!
We want to make sure our customers are safe and healthy. One concern some of our customers in older homes have is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos was used in home constructing material because it was cheap and known to resist heat and fire. Before 1980, venting flue pipes for furnaces contained this material.
Asbestos fibers can cause severe irritation in your lungs and over time will even cause cancerous cell growth. It's not a material you want to be exposed to and one that has been banned from construction purposes.
The combustion products generated by a furnace—such as CO, CO2 and methane—exit the home through a flue pipe. Old pipes were composed of asbestos because of it's fire resistance.However, overtime, the heat from the furnace can cause asbestos to become friable which can cause asbestos fibers to become airborne. Asbestos is no longer used in venting flues.
A local customer was worried about being exposed to the asbestos fibers. She called CWP and we went to the home and inspected the furnace system, including the flue. A new flue was indeed needed.
We removed the old flue, carefully, and then CWP installed a new double walled 4" flue pipe. Not only will the home be free from any asbestos fibers but the new flue pipe will also prevent any CO, from the combustion process, from staying in the residence.
When your AC Unit get old, sometimes you can fix it, sometimes you just need to replace it. Our customer called us with a refrigerant leak. Her AC unit refused to blow cold air and there was a break in the line. So we explained the options:
"Fix it" for a ton of money and we couldn't even supply the old refrigerant without breaking her budget or the environment, or "Replace it".
Our customers are pretty wise, and she was no exception and opted to replace her old AC with a brand new Trane.
The old air conditioner was using R-22 refrigerant. These days, almost everything has switched to R-410a refrigerant. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is setting a plan to stop the production of R-22 refrigerant completely because of its effects on the ozone layer.
Since our customer was in need of air conditioning, and outdated refrigerant pricing is very high, we recommended a new Trane 2 ton split system along with the financing options we have. A split system means a ventilation system that supplies both heating and cooling through the same blower.
She was familiar with one of the California-run financing programs we have because she has done other home projects through the program.
We helped her through the application process and she was approved within minutes and she was able to use her account immediately. By helping her through this process, we were able to install the new Trane air conditioner quickly (she lives in South Whittier, not far from our offices) and get her home cooled.
She is now enjoying a cool home in this hot summer and this new Trane air conditioner will not only save her money, but will certainly last her another 15-20 years. Especially if she has us come out and test and service it every year!
When we are called to fix an air conditioner, we never know what we're going to get. As any good HVAC repair tech knows, an ac unit could break down because of faulty wiring, a capacitor, or compressor or a hundred other things. Indeed, we had a mouse once short out an air conditioner!
So we inspect. Every. Air. Conditioner.
Even if we think we know what the problem is.
Capacitors are a common cause of air conditioning breakdowns. A capacitor is similar to a battery. It stores a set amount of energy like a battery, but unlike a battery, it is released all at once.
The sudden jolt of power is what starts a motor. Capacitors are also used to continuously send jolts to keep a motor running. They work with the compressor, the blower motor, and the outside fan in your air conditioner. A weak capacitor puts unnecessary stress on the motor and compressor. Extra stress causes overheating or will make it so the AC unit won't start at all. That will shorten the lifespan of your AC's motor and compressor.
Another common part to break down over time is the contact switch. They let the electricity flow through the contacts and power the unit. A bad switch or contact can cause significant harm to your air conditioner’s compressor. It can cause your compressor to continually run even after the thermostat is satisfied and the rest of the system shuts down.
Our HVAC repair technician found all the signs of a failed contactor and capacitor. By thoroughly examining the unit, he found other potentially threatening problems as well. He found that the wiring had been burnt and it was in terrible shape. This was definitely something a trained HVAC technician needs to handle.
After diagnosing the AC repair in La Habra Heights, our tech replaced the faulty parts, rewired the unit with fresh wires and then tested the AC unit's repair to make sure that it was all good. We even return and do a special test when needed to make sure the appliance if functioning properly after some "settling" time.

We cannot stress this enough: regular maintenance on your ac unit is extremely important!
Again: AC maintenance is important!
Although we service a lot of residential units, we are definitely a commercial air conditioning company as well. A company called us complaining that their AC unit wouldn't turn on.
Since summer is coming and the heat is going up, this can be a problem out here in southern California. We dispatched a technician for same-day service. (We try to get everybody served on the same day and we succeed 99% of the time!)
Anyway, we train our technicians to give ac system maintenance inspections before they ever start working on the air conditioners simply because this way they'll know really what all the potential problems are. On this day, the tech found out that the ac unit had frozen up.
Literally.
There had not been any ac maintenance done on this unit in years, it seemed, and the filter was found so dirty and clogged that it was restricting air flow to the unit and thus caused the evaporator coil to freeze up and accumulate ice buildup all over it. The customer's cooling was all going there!
This ice buildup basically turned the evaporator coil into the air filter. Not a good sign on any air conditioner.
The solution to this problem is in removing and cleaning the evaporator coil and replacing the filter. That is no simple task. Indeed, the labor can be rather extensive because the coils are often indoors and difficult to reach. They are just plain hard to get to for regular ac maintenance. That's probably what the customer thought, too.
Luckily for us, this was an entire rooftop package unit. That means all the parts were on the outside of the building with relatively easy access. We were able to quickly get everything in good working order again.
As you can see, dirty evaporator coils lead to freezing temperatures... in the wrong place! Low air flow and low efficiency are also clear results from improper maintenance.
Now that customer has us on a regular maintenance schedule so that larger, more expensive, problems an be addressed before they ever get to be larger and more expensive.
As the old saying goes: an ounce of prevention saves a ton of work and headache on the ac maintenance guys later on!
So... let's get your ac unit or furnace scheduled for annual or semi-annual maintenance today!
The AC unit at a local Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building in Laguna Niguel, CA was broken and didn't provide any sort of cooling for the church. Their meetings were extremely hot and must have resembled more of a sauna than an actual worship service.
After a few insufferable meetings with nothing but heat and people sweating, they contacted CWP HVAC to see what needed to be done to the AC unit. The choice would ultimately be between replacing the AC unit (which would be expensive) or repair the ac unit.
Not wanting to leave this congregation without a functioning AC unit, we quickly sent out one of our best technicians to see if there was any hope left for the air conditioner. Our technician was able to find out that a replacement was not needed. A simple air conditioner repair would suffice.
The church was happy to hear that the repair was going to be simple & quick and that they didn't need to replace the whole air conditioner.
Our technician was able to easily repair the air conditioner by replacing the rubatex covering the refrigerant lines. The old one was damaged due to long exposure to heat.
The people of the church in Laguna Niguel, CA can now enjoy their meetings with a fully repaired air conditioner.
