Do you service emergencies after-hours?

Yes, we offer emergency services 24-hours a day, year-round.

How much will my service cost?

The size and complexity of your HVAC issue will determine the cost. Because our trained, licensed HVAC technicians must diagnose the issue before we are able to quote you an accurate cost, we require an appointment to be set to complete a diagnostic on your system. Once the diagnostic is complete, your One Hour(R) technician will walk you through all costs using our Straightforward Pricing(R) Guide so there are never any surprise fees.

How often should I service my HVAC system?

It's ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

How often do I need to change my HVAC filter?

Your filter should be changed every one to three months, depending on conditions in your home and your region's climate.

Do you offer purchase financing?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

What are the advantages of a smart Thermostat?

Smart thermostats learn a household's patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to when a home is occupied, give homeowners the ability to control the thermostat remotely, and enable homeowners to reduce their energy use, saving you money.

HVAC means Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems refer to air conditioners, furnaces, and any unit that cools indoor spaces during the summer and warm them in the winter. In general, an HVAC system takes in air, heats or cools that air, and blows it into a room or any indoor space. While many homes have separate air conditioning and heating units, others have a heat pump that cools and heats the house. Not only do HVAC systems maintain desired temperatures, but they also improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity levels. But most importantly, these units provide comfort all year round.

What is a SEER Rating?

The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“I wanted to give Joshua, from One Hour in Torrance a review due to his amazing work ethic and great customer service. I first contacted the company in hopes of getting an AC system working in my home before the summer arrived. Joshua started by asking me various questions and soon after gave me an estimate. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave me the best price (I had contacted other AC companies nearby). He explained the process of installation thoroughly and answered all of my questions. In addition, when completing the installation he made sure that I felt comfortable with his work hours and completed the work very quickly. Thank you Joshua!”

“I had a great experience with One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning in Torrance thanks to Joshua! He was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely courteous from start to finish. He arrived right on time, quickly diagnosed the issue with our AC unit, and explained everything clearly before beginning the repair. What really stood out was how respectful he was of our home—he wore shoe covers, cleaned up after the job, and made sure everything was running perfectly before leaving. Joshua truly went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing HVAC service. Great service like this is hard to come by!”

“Installed their air purifier about 2 months ago. Very pleased with it. My allergies feel better I’ve only needed claritin a couple times. Noticeably less dust as well. Installation guy was prompt and thorough.”

“One Saturday morning my mothers wall heater wouldn't turn on, so we phoned One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning. Since it wasn't cold, an appointment was made for the following Monday. A couple of technicians arrived and checked out the heater. Turned out the 22 year old heater has a pilot light that had gone out. Yes, surely that unlike me, even the cat had it figured out. I digress. The techs explained the issue, relit the pilot and verified the issue was resolved. For any future issues, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning of South Bay will be the people that I call.”

“I wish I could select 10 stars for this team I had an excellent experience with One Hour Heating and Air South Bay! My techs, Joshua and Jason, were incredibly professional and thorough throughout the entire process. From the very start, they took the time to answer all my questions and coordinated smoothly with my landlord to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Joshua provided an estimate and explained everything in detail, so I never felt out of the loop. The craftsmanship was top-notch, and I felt confident knowing they were handling the replacement of my wall furnace heater. They literally took care of everything-- remove the old unit, permits, install, thermostat, make sure it's functioning well, etc. It was a breeze I also had the pleasure of speaking with Raymond, the chief contractor, and Maryam, the owner, both of whom were incredibly responsive and helpful. They made sure everything was taken care of promptly, and I really appreciated their communication and transparency. Bottom line: you're in great hands with One Hour Heating and Air South Bay! They made what could have been a stressful experience straightforward and hassle-free. I give this incredible team my highest possible recommendation and hope others use them as well”

Joshua Quezada

Technician

I was born and raised in Inglewood. I am excited to be serving the residents of South Bay. I was pushed and finally decided to go to UEI in order to better myself and my future. After learning the trade, I fell in love with the work that we do because I have an opportunity to educate people on what they have and the functionality of their units. I really like helping people where I can and it makes me feel better knowing I could make a difference in someone’s quality of air standards. After graduating UEI and passing the universal exam for the EPA section 608, I continue to try to learn more and expand my knowledge as this trade is never ending and always progressing. My hobbies include an intense passion for cooking and watching sports.

I am excited to join the One Hour team. I began my career in construction and quickly realized that my passion was in the field of HVAC. This inspired me to take classes and increase my knowledge while actively working in the field. I have installed and repaired all types of units including mini-splits, furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, and packaged units. When I am not working at One Hour, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children in the beautiful California sun.
