Plumbing, HVAC, & Electrical Services in Ventura County

Ventura County is where we started. Dutton Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical opened in Simi Valley in 1987 and has been working in these same towns ever since.

That covers Camarillo, Moorpark, Newbury Park, Oxnard, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, and Westlake Village, across plumbing, drain and sewer work, water heaters, water filtration, cooling, heating, and electrical. Our trucks start the day inside the county, so we’re not driving in from somewhere else when you call.

Whatever your house is doing today, we’ve probably seen it before.

Ventura County Cities We Serve

Coast on One Side, Valleys on the Other

The Coast and the Valleys Ask Different Things of a House

Twenty miles decides a surprising amount out here.

Closer to the water

In Oxnard and along the coast, salt in the air goes after anything metal and outdoors. Condenser coils corrode years ahead of schedule, outdoor disconnects pit, and exposed fixtures show wear early. Rinsing a condenser matters more out there than any manual suggests.

Inland

In Simi Valley, Moorpark, and Thousand Oaks, the valleys hold summer heat well past sunset. AC systems log serious hours, which pulls tune-up intervals closer together and moves replacement timelines earlier than the label promises.

Both sides share the water

It's hard across the county, and it works on everything slowly. Sediment in water heaters, scale on fixtures, older pipe narrowing year by year. It's the one thread running through repairs in every city we cover.

We work both halves of the county every week, and we cover all four trades. So when salt air takes out a condenser or hard water shortens a water heater, you get the same high-quality service from the same smiling faces.

County Questions

What Ventura County Homeowners Ask Us

Do you serve all of Ventura County?

Yes. We work both the inland valleys and the coast every week, including Oxnard and Ventura.

How fast can a plumber get to me in Ventura County?

Dutton can get out faster than most because we're based here rather than dispatching in from another county. Most emergency calls get a technician out within the hour during business hours.

Why is the water so hard in Ventura County?

Water in this region carries a high mineral load, mostly calcium and magnesium picked up from the groundwater and imported supply the area draws on. It's why water heaters here often fall short of their rated lifespan, why shower glass clouds over, and why older pipes narrow over the years. Filtration and conditioning both help, and which one suits your house depends on what the water test shows.

Does living near the coast change what my home needs?

It changes what wears out first. Salt in the air corrodes AC condenser coils, outdoor electrical connections, and exposed fixtures faster than inland conditions do. Homes in Oxnard and closer to the water benefit from more frequent condenser cleaning and a closer eye on outdoor disconnects.

Do I need a permit for plumbing or electrical work in Ventura County?

Usually, for anything structural or system-level. Water heater replacements, panel upgrades, repipes, and sewer work generally require a permit, and which office issues it depends on whether your address is inside a city or in an unincorporated county.
