AfterHVAC Company in Burbank, CA
Brandt HVAC provides AC repair, furnace repair, and AC maintenance to homeowners across Burbank, CA, with crews dispatched from our Los Angeles office and pricing built around the realities of San Fernando Valley heat and post-war housing stock. Most Burbank repair calls we handle run $150 – $650 for cooling work and $150 – $700 for heating, with a written price agreed before any work begins. Call us at (984) 538-9003 when you need service, or explore our main Burbank services below.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank sits in the eastern San Fernando Valley’s heat bowl, where surrounding mountains block the marine layer that cools coastal LA. Summer temperatures routinely hit 105 – 112°F while Santa Monica stays 30 degrees cooler, and nighttime lows during heat waves often remain above 85°F. That means AC systems here run nearly continuously for days, and undersized equipment fails fast.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Most Burbank homes are post-WWII ranches and bungalows built between 1945 and 1965, before central air conditioning was standard. The flatland neighborhoods near Magnolia Boulevard and around the Rancho area are dense with these homes, many lacking ductwork entirely or relying on original leaky ducts in unconditioned attics that reach 150°F in summer. Any system retrofit here almost always includes duct sealing or replacement. Hillside areas above Glenoaks vary more, with custom builds and trickier mechanical room access.
Then there’s Burbank Water and Power. BWP is a municipal utility entirely separate from SCE, with its own rebate programs, load calculation requirements, and electrical service rules. We navigate BWP’s processes for every install and major upgrade, not the SCE workflows used in neighboring cities.
Our Main Burbank Services
These are the three services Burbank homeowners call us about most. Each has its own dedicated page with deeper detail on local conditions and pricing.
AC Repair in Burbank
When your AC quits during a Burbank heat wave, you need someone who understands valley-specific failures: burned contactors from continuous runtime, refrigerant leaks accelerated by 150°F attic temperatures, and condenser coils clogged by Santa Ana wind debris. Our technicians carry common parts for Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem systems on every truck, and we send your technician’s name, photo, and background verification before arrival through our Threshold Verified standard.

Furnace Repair in Burbank
Burbank furnace work means addressing the quirks of post-war heating systems still running in Magnolia Park and Rancho homes: cracked heat exchangers in 40-year-old furnaces, failed ignitors in units cycling on and off all winter, and gas valve issues in equipment never properly maintained. We test for carbon monoxide on every furnace call, provide a written repair price before starting work, and back every repair with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Furnace Repair in Burbank
AC Maintenance in Burbank
Burbank’s combination of heavy summer runtime and Santa Ana wind debris makes annual maintenance essential, not optional. Our tune-ups include condenser coil deep-cleaning, refrigerant level verification, duct leakage inspection, and electrical connection tightening. We document everything in a written report, and our technicians are never paid on commission, so there’s no upsell pressure. Most Burbank maintenance visits run $80 – $200. AC Maintenance in Burbank
