New AC Installation in Van Nuys, CA

New central AC installation in Van Nuys costs $5,000 to $13,500 in 2026 for a typical 2.5-to-5-ton split system. EA Mechanical reaches central Van Nuys in about 25 minutes from our Tujunga shop via the 170 to the 101, and our fleet runs through Van Nuys daily on the way to western Valley calls. Call (818) 988-9060.

Van Nuys install conversations split between single-family residential, multi-unit residential, and commercial corridors. The single-family installs follow the standard Valley pattern — Manual J load calculation, ductwork assessment, electrical panel verification, City of LA permit and HERS testing. The multi-unit apartment work involves coordinating with property managers on phased upgrade plans for buildings with shared central plants. The commercial work along Sherman Way and Van Nuys Boulevard typically runs rooftop package units in the 5-to-25-ton range.

Van Nuys also has the highest concentration of legacy R-22 systems in our service area. New installs that replace pre-2010 R-22 equipment automatically transition the property to R-410A or R-454B refrigerant — and unlock LADWP rebates that the old equipment could never qualify for. See /carrier/, /lennox/, /mitsubishi-ductless/, and /heat-pumps/ for equipment options, and /hvac-rebates-tax-credits/ for the current rebate stack.

Apartment-Conversion Duct Sizing in Van Nuys Multi-Family Buildings

Many Van Nuys 4-plex and 8-plex apartment buildings near the Civic Center and along Sherman Way were built between 1955 and 1975 with ductwork sized for shared central plants. As these buildings have been condo-converted or refurbished as separate-system rentals, the original ductwork rarely matches modern split-system static-pressure requirements. New installs in these buildings almost always require partial duct re-sizing. We pressure-test existing ducts on every install quote and quote duct work as a separate line item.

Property-manager-driven installs across multiple Van Nuys buildings benefit from volume scheduling and consistent equipment selection. We work with property managers on phased upgrade plans that spread capital cost across multiple budget years and use a consistent equipment tier (typically Carrier or Lennox) so maintenance training and parts inventory stay simple across the portfolio.
