Plenty of Los Angeles homes were never built with ductwork — older bungalows, Spanish-style houses, garage conversions, and room additions often rely on window units or nothing at all. Ripping open walls to install full ductwork is expensive and disruptive. That is...
In Southern California, your air conditioner works hard all summer and then your heater sits idle for months — until the first chilly evening when you flip it on and hope for the best. October is the ideal time for a fall HVAC tune-up: the cooling season is winding...

“Long Beach is practically a county of its own — Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranch homes, downtown towers. We love working in a city with this much variety.”

Long Beach is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own housing character: the Craftsman bungalows of Belmont Heights and the Rose Park historic districts, the mid-century ranch homes of Los Altos and Bixby Knolls, Spanish revivals in California Heights, and condos and townhomes from downtown to the Peninsula. Mars HVAC provides heating and cooling service across Long Beach, and we tailor our approach to the house in front of us, not a template.
Our Long Beach services include AC repair, AC installation, furnace repair, ductless mini-splits, heat pumps, and maintenance plans. In the historic districts, we modernize comfort carefully — high-velocity and ductless solutions can cool a 1920s bungalow without carving it up, and furnace replacements in older homes get the venting and safety review they deserve. In the postwar neighborhoods, the work centers on replacing aging central systems, correcting tired ductwork, and adding the air conditioning some of these homes never had.
Long Beach’s coastal climate is gentle, but the marine influence varies block by block: Belmont Shore and Naples feel the ocean, while Bixby Knolls and North Long Beach run warmer and use more cooling. Salt air near the water shortens outdoor unit life, so our coastal maintenance includes coil rinsing and corrosion checks. Heat pumps are an ideal match for this climate — efficient cooling for warm spells and clean, even heat for the damp chill that comes off the water in winter.
Every Long Beach installation is permitted and Title 24 tested, and our maintenance plans keep systems documented and dependable year after year.
Long Beach homeowners get the same documented, measure-first service we provide everywhere: a diagnosis in writing, options priced before work begins, and installations that are permitted, tested, and registered. In the historic districts we coordinate our approach with the character of the home; in the postwar neighborhoods we focus on getting aging systems replaced cleanly and correctly the first time. No pressure, no invented urgency — just the information you need to decide, and work that holds up after we leave.
Our Long Beach coverage includes Belmont Heights, Belmont Shore and Naples, Bixby Knolls, California Heights, Rose Park, Wrigley, Los Altos, and downtown. Long Beach homes reward local knowledge: the historic districts have rules and realities that shape equipment choices, the shore neighborhoods eat outdoor units faster than anywhere else we serve, and the postwar tracts inland are full of solid homes whose original owners never imagined air conditioning — until the first September heat wave in a new purchase. We help with all of it, and we document our work the way this city’s careful homeowners expect.
Our Long Beach maintenance plans are built for the city’s variety: bungalows with carefully added systems, shore homes with corrosion-prone equipment, and postwar houses whose systems simply need to be dependable. Seasonal visits, coil rinsing near the water, documented condition reports, and priority scheduling during heat waves come standard. It is the same careful, written-down approach Long Beach homeowners apply to the rest of their homes — now applied to the equipment that keeps them comfortable.
Many of our Long Beach customers also work with our sister companies: Universal Inspect for home inspections, 411 Mold Expert for mold inspection and testing. Together we cover the systems your home depends on.
