When your air conditioner quits in the middle of a Valley heat wave, waiting three days for a repair isn't an option. We diagnose and repair all major AC brands across Burbank, usually the same day you call, with the repair price quoted upfront before any work begins.
The calls we get most often: the AC runs but blows warm air (usually low refrigerant from a leak, or a failed compressor capacitor), the unit won't turn on at all (tripped breaker, bad contactor, or thermostat issues), the AC keeps tripping the circuit breaker (a hard-starting compressor or electrical short), water leaking around the indoor unit (clogged condensate drain — very common in older Burbank homes), and units that can't keep up on 100°+ days (dirty coils, failing fan motors, or a system that was undersized to begin with).
The east San Fernando Valley regularly runs 10–15 degrees hotter than the coast. During July and August heat waves, an AC in Burbank might run 12+ hours a day — that's the equivalent of years of coastal wear packed into one summer. Add in older electrical panels in homes built in the 40s and 50s, and you get the failure pattern we see every summer: capacitors, contactors, and fan motors giving out during the first big heat wave of the year. If your system limped through last summer, a pre-season checkup is a lot cheaper than an emergency call in July.
We'll always give you a straight answer. As a rule of thumb: if your system is under 10 years old, repair almost always makes sense. Between 10 and 15 years, it depends on the repair — a $250 capacitor, sure; a $2,500 compressor on a 14-year-old unit, probably not. Over 15 years, major repairs rarely pencil out, especially since newer systems can cut cooling costs significantly over the units installed in the 2000s. Either way, you get both numbers and you make the call.
Most common repairs (capacitors, contactors, condensate clogs, refrigerant top-offs) land in the $150–$650 range. Bigger repairs like blower motors or coil replacements run more. You'll get the exact price after diagnosis, before any work starts.
