Air Conditioner Shortage In The Valley?

Is it true that there is an air conditioner shortage in the San Fernando Valley? We sent our reporters out to investigate the rumor.

Our first stop was to find out what company makes the most reliable Air Conditioning unit. We know that homeowners in the San Fernando Valley are smart enough to want the very best. The most trusted  independent rating magazine surveyed over 30,000 property owners and hands down the most reliable brand of home Air Conditioning equipment was American Standard.

The manufacturer's top American Standard air conditioner dealer in the San Fernando Valley, Kilowatt is located in Sherman Oaks right where the 101 meets Sepulveda.  We stopped by their cheerful office building to chat with owner Dean Gilford. "It's been over 100 degrees in the Valley every day this week," Dean said. "So people panic a little when their AC shuts down. They worry that there might not be enough product to supply all the extra demand when it gets this hot."

Dean assured us that there is no shortage of AC units. Just to prove that there was nothing to worry about we went to the warehouse in Van Nuys where hundreds of air conditioning units wait to be installed in homes throughout the Valley and Los Angeles.

 

Over the next few months Kilowatt will expertly install these air conditioners in homes and businesses from Malibu to Glendale. So rest assured that the Los Angeles air conditioning supply chain is in tact and ready to fill the needs of our healthy, happy communities.
