Residential Emergency Heating Service in Burbank

What counts as a true heating emergency?

No heat during a cold snap, a system that runs but never warms the house, or equipment that repeatedly trips breakers all qualify. So do burning or electrical smells, visible smoke, carbon monoxide alarms, loud banging or grinding noises, or a heat pump that ices over and won’t defrost. If infants, elderly family members, or anyone with health sensitivities are at home, treat comfort issues as urgent—your well-being comes first.

How our emergency visit works

1) Stabilize and make safe: We secure gas, electrical, and airflow conditions. 2) Diagnose: Using pro-grade instruments, we check ignition, inducer and blower operation, flame signal, pressure switches, refrigerant charge (for heat pumps), sensors, and airflow. 3) Explain options: You’ll get a clear, written estimate before any work. 4) Repair and verify: We perform precise, code-compliant repairs and verify performance under load. 5) Protect IAQ: We check filtration and recommend steps that support healthy indoor air.

That engineer-first process helps us solve the immediate problem quickly while preventing repeat breakdowns.

Our engineering advantage

#1 AC Guys is a 4th-generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering. Our team is factory-trained at the manufacturers’ facilities—Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China)—so we bring factory-informed diagnostics to your home. We evaluate load, airflow, static pressure, combustion, electrical integrity, and controls logic to uncover the root cause, not just the symptom. The result: safer operation, better comfort, and fewer callbacks.

Healthy air at home—our core mission

Emergency heat is about more than warmth; it’s about health. We safeguard combustion air and venting, confirm proper filtration, and look for moisture and particulate issues that can impact sleep and respiratory comfort. When appropriate, we recommend practical improvements such as sealing return leaks, right-sizing filters, upgrading to higher MERV filtration that your system can handle, and checking ventilation strategies for cleaner indoor air.

Transparent pricing, dependable warranties

Before work begins, you’ll receive a straightforward estimate. We back our repairs with solid parts-and-labor warranties and document everything we do. If a permit is required for safety-related work, we handle the process and keep you informed at each step.

Repair vs. replacement—honest guidance

• Repair is typically best for newer equipment with isolated faults.
• Replacement may be safer or more economical if there’s a cracked heat exchanger, frequent major failures, or very low efficiency.
• When replacement is smart, we provide right-sized options and discuss comfort, efficiency, and air quality goals.

Either way, you’ll get clear pros and cons so you can choose confidently.
