It is always rewarding, when we can find a solution to a heating problem. But a recent service call really reminded our team at First Choice Heating & Air Conditioning why we love fixing HVAC systems for our neighbors and friends. Here's how we dealt with a complicated furnace issue in West L.A.

A customer called, who really needed help. Their loved one was sick, and the furnace in their condo on Wilshire Blvd had died. However, because the condo was on an upper level of the complex, the new HVAC unit would need to be brought in via crane. Obtaining the permit to gain access to the street, could have taken months, to say nothing of the expense of renting a crane.

These obstacles had the condo owner understandably upset, and they were looking to us for a solution. As a locally owned, small business based in the San Fernando Valley and servicing the entire Los Angeles-SFV area, we truly value each and every customer, and we were determined to help. After a brainstorming session with our management team, and our licensed and certified HVAC techs, we came up with a solution, and proposed it to the condo owner. Our solution was to disassemble the HVAC unit, carry it up the stairs in pieces, and reassemble it on the roof. Then we were able to transport it to our customer's condo, and get the heat flowing once again.

Though this type of job wasn't standard for us, at First Choice Heating & Air Conditioning, we welcome HVAC challenges. We enjoy thinking outside of the box. But most of all, we loved being able to assist a customer who truly needed our help.
