Calabasas became Los Angeles County’s newest city in 1991, but its history goes back much further: the Leonis Adobe, built in 1844, is one of the oldest buildings in greater Los Angeles, and Old Town Calabasas is a protected historic district. Today the city stretches through the hills from Park Moderne to gated neighborhoods like The Oaks, Calabasas Park Estates and Mont Calabasas. We connect Calabasas homeowners with independent, licensed HVAC contractors.
Hillside Heat
Calabasas may be closer to the coast, but its hills still bake in late summer, with a record high of 114 degrees. Many homes are two stories with big windows facing canyon views, which means strong afternoon sun and a hot upstairs. Zoning, window shading and a system sized for the actual sun exposure make a bigger difference here than in a flat-lot neighborhood.
HOAs and Gated Communities
Much of Calabasas lives inside homeowners associations, and many have rules about where outdoor units can go, how they’re screened and how loud they can be. Before replacing or adding equipment, check your HOA guidelines and whether architectural approval is required. Contractors who work in Calabasas regularly are used to this process, and to arranging gate access.
Older Cabins and Newer Estates
The Park Moderne area, known as the Bird Streets, started as an artists’ colony and still has older cabins and small homes on hillside lots, many without ductwork. Ductless mini-splits are often the best fit. At the other end, newer estates may have three or four zoned systems that benefit from a yearly maintenance visit.
Furnace Installation and Heating Repair in Calabasas
Calabasas canyons cool off quickly after sunset, and winter nights in the hills can drop into the 30s. Many larger homes have two or three furnaces, often one in the attic for the upstairs and one in a closet or crawlspace for the main floor, and a lot of them date from when the neighborhood was built.
- No heat or a furnace that keeps shutting off: furnace repair
- Replacing an aging furnace: furnace installation, sized for the home and its sun exposure, with HOA rules checked for any outdoor equipment
- One system for heating and cooling: a heat pump

Fire Season
Calabasas is surrounded by open space, and the 2018 Woolsey Fire reached parts of the city. When smoke rolls in, keep windows closed, run the system on recirculate and use the best filter your system can handle. See our wildfire smoke tips.
Common Requests in Calabasas
- Hot upstairs bedrooms: zoning, duct balancing or a second system. See AC repair.
- HOA-approved replacements: new AC or heat pumps with proper screening.
- Cabins without ducts: ductless systems.
- Smoke filtration: air quality upgrades.
Choosing an HVAC Contractor in Calabasas
We connect Calabasas homeowners with independent, licensed HVAC contractors for AC repair, furnace installation and replacement, heat pumps and ductless systems. Before anyone starts work, it’s worth checking a few things:
- An active C-20 license you can look up at CSLB.ca.gov. Since 2023, C-20 contractors must also carry workers’ compensation insurance.
- HOA approval for a new outdoor unit, if your community requires it
- A City of Calabasas permit for equipment replacements, pulled by the contractor
- A written, itemized estimate with the equipment model and efficiency ratings

Common Questions
Does my HOA need to approve a new AC unit?
Many Calabasas HOAs do require approval for new or relocated outdoor equipment, especially if it’s visible from the street. Check your association’s guidelines before signing a contract.
Why is my upstairs so hot in the afternoon?
Large west-facing windows, an attic above the bedrooms and a single system serving both floors are the usual causes. Solutions include zoning, window film or shades, better attic insulation and, in some homes, a separate upstairs system.
Who issues HVAC permits in Calabasas?
The City of Calabasas Building and Safety division. Electricity comes from Southern California Edison. A licensed contractor should pull the permit for you.
How do I check that a Calabasas HVAC contractor is licensed?
In California, heating and air conditioning work is done under a C-20 license from the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Ask for the license number and look it up at cslb.ca.gov to confirm it is active. Our guide to checking an HVAC contractor’s license walks you through it.
