Premium residential air conditioning installation for the Ojai Valley. One owner, one standard, zero shortcuts — sized right, sealed right, and quiet enough to forget it's on.
An August afternoon in Ojai, handled
What Rich does
Every system is load-calculated for your square footage, your sun exposure, and Ojai's real summer — not a guess off the old unit's label.
Install
Full central air systems for homes that have never had it. Manual J load calculation, clean duct routing, and a walkthrough of every register before Rich leaves.
Replace
Retire the unit that limps through every heat wave. Modern high-SEER systems that cut the electric bill and actually keep up in August.
Ductless
Perfect for Ojai's older homes, casitas, studios, and additions. Whisper-quiet zoned cooling with no ductwork required.
Protect
A pre-summer tune-up that catches worn parts before the first 100° week does. Priority scheduling for existing install clients.
The guy behind the name
Air by Rich is owner-operated on purpose. The person who quotes your job is the person who measures your home, installs your system, and answers the phone when you call two summers later.
No subcontracted labor, no commissioned upsells, no leaving your attic messier than he found it. Just careful work in a valley he knows house by house.
Talk to RichHow it works
Rich walks the house, measures, checks insulation and sun exposure, and listens to what's driving you crazy.
One written number covering equipment, labor, permits, and haul-away. No surprise line items on install day.
Most installs done in one to two days. Floors covered, work area vacuumed, old equipment gone when he leaves.
Rich shows you the system, registers your warranty, and stays a phone call away for the life of it.
Where Rich works
Based in Ojai, serving the whole valley and nearby Ventura County neighbors.
"Our 1948 house had never had AC. Rich designed a mini-split setup that disappears into the architecture, and July finally feels livable. He swept the driveway on his way out."
