Before-Air Handler Heat Pump, Northridge CAAfter image

Recently, a homeowner reached out to us about their HVAC system’s performance in Northridge. They reported that their home was uncomfortably warm during the day, and the existing air conditioning unit seemed unable to keep up with the rising temperatures.

They reported that their home was uncomfortably warm during the day. Frustrated with their issues, we scheduled an inspection to diagnose their problems.

Uncovering the Root of the AC Problem

Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection of the current heating and cooling system. We quickly discovered that the heat pump had not been operating efficiently due to age and wear. The unit showed signs of reduced refrigerant levels, which significantly affected its ability to cool effectively.

Additionally, we noticed that the ductwork was poorly insulated and had several leaks where conditioned air was escaping into unconditioned spaces—this inefficiency compounded the cooling problem.

After discussing these findings with the homeowner, we recommended replacing their outdated system with a new Daikin DH5SE Condenser Heat Pump paired with a Daikin AMST Air Handler. This combination would ensure optimal performance and better temperature control throughout their living space.

“I recently had a heat pump condenser installed by Lions Heating & Air, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional and attentive. They took the time to explain how everything works, which really put my mind at ease. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my home’s heating efficiency already. I highly recommend Lions HVAC for anyone considering a new system!”
