The local picture in Oxnard
The imported share comes through Calleguas Municipal Water District from the State Water Project. Oxnard was incorporated in 1903 and named for the Oxnard family.
In 2023, Oxnard's water was about one third city groundwater, one third groundwater from United Water and one third imported water. Many mid-century homes have ducts in a crawl space or attic that were never sealed, and leaks there waste a lot of heated or cooled air.
Many homes here were built without central air, and ductless mini-splits are a popular way to add cooling without new ductwork. Oxnard's recycled water program also supports storing purified water underground for later use.

Local rules before you book
Heating and air conditioning contractors in California are licensed by the Contractors State License Board. If your system uses gas, SoCalGas handles service to the meter. If you smell gas, leave the house and call them from outside.
A little prep helps
Find the model number on your furnace, boiler or outdoor unit and have it ready when the tech calls.
Quick answers
What does a strange smell from my vents mean?
A dusty smell at the first heat of the season is common. A burning electrical smell or a rotten egg smell is not. Shut the system off and call, and leave if you smell gas.
Should I repair or replace my system?
It depends on age, repair cost and how well it works. Ask for both options in writing, including efficiency and any rebates, and compare.
Why is one room always hotter or colder?
Closed or blocked vents, leaky ducts, poor insulation or a system sized wrong for the house are common reasons. A tech can measure airflow room by room.
