HVAC Services in Torrance, CA
Drain Right Services keeps Torrance homes comfortable with same-day air conditioning and heating repair, installation, and maintenance, backed by upfront pricing and around-the-clock emergency response. Our certified technicians work on every major system, from an AC that quits in the middle of a South Bay heat wave to a furnace that will not light on the first cold morning of the season. One call covers both your heating and your cooling, and we quote the job before any work starts.
Air Conditioning Repair and Installation
When your AC is running but not cooling, cycling on and off every few minutes, or refusing to start at all, our technicians find the real cause instead of resetting the system and hoping it holds. We repair all makes and models, tracking down refrigerant leaks, failed compressors, dirty or iced coils, thermostat faults, and blower motor problems. If a unit is past the point of a sensible repair, we help you choose a right-sized, energy-efficient replacement for your home and budget rather than pushing the largest system on the truck. A properly matched unit cools better and costs less to run, which is the entire point of replacing it. If you are comparing options, our home cooling services page covers the systems we install.
AC Maintenance and Tune-Ups
A spring tune-up is the cheapest way to avoid a July breakdown. Our maintenance visit inspects electrical components, cleans the coils, checks refrigerant levels, tests airflow, and replaces the filter, so small problems get caught before they turn into a hot afternoon with no cooling. Most Torrance homeowners are well served by one cooling tune-up in spring and one heating check in the fall.
Heating Repair and Furnace Service
South Bay winters are mild, which means furnaces and heat pumps sit idle for months and then get asked to work on the coldest night of the year. We handle furnace repair, ignition and blower faults, and full furnace installation when an older unit is no longer safe or efficient to run. Every heating inspection includes a check for cracked heat exchangers and other carbon monoxide risks, because that is a safety issue first and a comfort issue second. For an overview of what we service on the heating side, see our heating services page.
Heat Pumps, Mini-Splits, and Thermostats
Beyond standard repairs, we install and service heat pumps, an efficient option for both heating and cooling that fits the Torrance climate well. Ductless mini-splits are a strong answer for a converted garage, a home addition, or any room the ductwork never reached, and we install and service those too. We also upgrade thermostats, including smart models that learn your schedule and trim energy use without you thinking about it, and we improve indoor air quality with filtration, humidity control, and UV treatment for households dealing with allergens and dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does HVAC service cost in Torrance?
The cost depends on what your system needs. A routine tune-up is affordable, while a repair, a part replacement, or a full install runs higher. A technician inspects the system and gives you the price before starting, so you can weigh your options with no surprises on the invoice. For repairs, we tell you honestly when a fix makes more sense than a replacement.
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?
The usual causes are a clogged filter, low refrigerant from a leak, or an airflow problem at the coils or blower. A technician can test each one and pinpoint the fault rather than guessing. Catching it early keeps a small refrigerant or airflow issue from turning into a compressor failure, which is a far more expensive repair.
Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?
Repair usually makes sense for a newer system with a specific, contained problem. Replacement is the better value when the unit is old, breaking down often, or costly to keep running, since a modern high-efficiency system lowers your energy bills. We walk you through the numbers on both paths so the decision fits your home and budget, not our schedule.
Why does my heater smell like it is burning?
After months of no use, dust settles on the heat exchanger and burns off when the furnace first runs, which is normal for a few minutes. If the smell lasts longer than that, it can point to an electrical fault or overheating and should be checked. Turn the system off and call us if the odor persists, so a technician can confirm it is safe before you run it again.
