AfterHVAC Company in Burbank, CA
Dalton Heating & Air handles heating and cooling work across Burbank, from the flatlands near the 5 up into the Verdugo foothills. Homes here run the full range: 1940s ranch houses with original ductwork, 1970s split-levels, and newer hillside construction with stricter setback rules. That mix means every job starts with a look at what is actually there, not what a generic checklist says should be there. If you need a repair or a new system, call (361) 306-9515 and a real person answers.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank sits in the San Fernando Valley’s eastern corner, which means summer afternoons routinely push past 95°F while winter nights can dip into the low 40s. Homes built before central air became standard often have undersized ducts or original electrical panels that were never meant to carry a modern heat pump. In the Magnolia Park and Rancho Adjacent bungalows, we regularly find return air sized for a furnace only, which makes the AC work harder than it should.
The hillside streets above Glenoaks Boulevard add another layer. Steeper lots mean longer refrigerant line runs, tighter crawlspaces, and equipment pads that need to be leveled carefully. Some HOAs in the Hillside District also require screening around outdoor condensers, so we quote that work up front rather than springing it on you mid-job. Burbank’s permitting office is straightforward about HVAC change-outs, but the inspector’s standard is the building code exactly as written, so we install to that spec the first time.
Our Main Burbank Services
Burbank homeowners call us most often about two things: a system that stopped cooling in August or a furnace that won’t fire on a December morning. Here is what each job looks like here.
AC Repair in Burbank
When a Burbank AC quits, it is usually the capacitor, the contactor, low refrigerant, or a clogged condensate line, and most of those are same-day fixes. Hillside homes with long line sets lose a little charge over time, so a refrigerant top-off is a common call before the first heat wave of June. We stock parts for AC Repair in Burbank jobs in our local trucks, which keeps a one-visit fix realistic for most failures. Every repair gets a written price before we touch anything and a written one-year guarantee on the work.
Heat Pump Installation in Burbank
Burbank’s mild winters make a heat pump a practical replacement for an aging furnace-and-AC pair, especially in homes without gas service or with older electrical loads. Installation means a load calculation on the house, not a same-size swap, and Burbank’s mix of older homes means that step matters more here than in newer neighborhoods. We quote Heat Pump Installation in Burbank as a fixed written price with the install date set before you sign.
Furnace Repair in Burbank
Furnace calls in Burbank cluster around the first cold snap, when a gas valve or igniter that sat idle all year finally gives out. Older Burbank homes often have furnaces tucked into hallway closets or low attic spaces, so getting eyes on the heat exchanger before a repair matters for safety. Marco Benitez and his crew carry the common igniters, flame sensors, and pressure switches for Furnace Repair in Burbank jobs, and every repair is guaranteed in writing for a full year.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Burbank
Same-day for most repair calls placed before early afternoon, and 24/7 for emergencies like a furnace out on a cold night or an AC down during a heat advisory. Call (361) 306-9515 and a live person answers, no voicemail queue.
Most system change-outs and new installations require a Burbank building permit. We pull that permit as part of the job and the work is done to pass inspection, not to be redone. Repairs to existing equipment don’t need one.
Dalton Heating & Air is a Garrison Partners location under The Garrison Standard. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Los Angeles office, and the crews running Burbank jobs live and work in this part of the Valley.
If your system is down or you want a straight answer on what a repair or replacement should cost, call (361) 306-9515. We’ll put the price in writing before any work starts, and that guarantee is the whole point of how we operate.
