"We had ATC take a look at our HVAC system that was not running well. Another company came out and told us the entire installation was wrong and everything had to be replaced, including all ducting. The price was astronomical. They also said that some structural work needed to be done, such as cutting through drywall and the house, which was not included. When Kevin from ATC came out to look, he said the ducting and the heater were just fine. The condenser and coil were old and probably should be replaced but it wasn’t an emergency. He suggested installing a dual controller and an additional return to improve the airflow issue we were having. He also gave us a quote for three options of new condenser/coils, along with financing options. The price was a fraction of the other company and the financing allowed us to do everything now rather than later. John and Kevin came out to do the installation. THEY WERE PHENOMENAL! They arrived on time, were so pleasant to speak with, were exceptionally patient with all our questions, were extremely knowledgeable about HVAC and split systems, were neat and clean, and did an extremely professional job of installation. That included all the drywall work that was necessary! And the improvement we received was unbelievable! Every room in the house was immediately receiving excellent airflow! We really thought we were in trouble, but these guys made sure we got all the cooling/heating we needed throughout the house with as little cost to us as possible. I would highly recommend the company and would especially recommend John and Kevin. They also fixed a split unit that wasn’t working. They can do it all!! Love these guys!"

"This review is long overdue, but I need to praise Calclimate for their excellent service! Tom and Chris were professional, reliable, and provided quality work. Tom replaced my father’s AC unit last summer on a short notice and provided much needed relief for my father, who was physically impaired at the time. I highly recommend Calclimate and will definitely use them again!"

"VERY HAPPY WITH THIS SERVICE! Jesus was a great help to us throughout the entire effort. Not only did he come in with a great quote, beating out their competitors by a considerable margin, the service was professional, timely, and thorough. They did not upsell us on things we did not want or need, and afforded us the flexibility to cherry pick parts of the work we preferred to do ourselves to save some cash. Every interaction was friendly and, most importantly, the work was done extremely well... our testers and inspectors even made a point of telling us how much they appreciated the quality of the work. They started the work quickly and wrapped up in record breaking time. I will undoubtedly call them again for my next project and I am already recommending them to friends."

FAQs for central vacuum installation projects in Universal City, CA

Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement. 

Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.

The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.

A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55 per hour.

A central vacuum system can last between 10 and 20 years if maintained properly. The frequency of use and amount of maintenance dictate its lifespan. These central systems last significantly longer than portable vacuum cleaners, which last 8 to 10 years on average. Keep your central vacuum system in good condition by checking the hose, wand, and attachments for clogs and emptying the debris bag regularly.

The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
