We’re Redwood Heating & Air, and our Heating & Furnace team makes the drive from San Diego to Burbank regularly because founder Gregory Hahn built this company on master-technician diagnosis, not dispatchers sending whoever’s available. Burbank’s post-WWII housing stock and brutal San Fernando Valley heat create furnace problems that generic technicians miss. Call (844) 875-9451 for a free estimate.

Our Heating & Furnace Services in Burbank
Furnace Repair
Burbank’s fall Santa Ana wind events spike attic temperatures back up just when homeowners assume cooling season is over, forcing furnaces to work harder through compromised ductwork. We service your brand, whether it’s a 20-year-old Goodman in a Magnolia Park bungalow or a newer Trane in a Burbank Hills remodel. Our furnace repair runs $150–$700, and we carry common ignitors, gas valves, and control boards for faster turnaround.
Furnace Replacement
Most Burbank homes were built with floor or wall furnaces only, central systems retrofitted later with ductwork crammed into shallow attics that hit 150°F in summer. Replacing a furnace here isn’t plug-and-play. We run Manual J load calculations specific to Burbank’s microclimate, accounting for those double-pane noise-reduction windows near the airport that lower heat loss by 15–20% compared to identical vintage homes a mile away. Oversizing is rampant in this market. We don’t do it. Furnace replacement: $3,500–$7,500.
Furnace Tune-Up
A furnace tune-up in Burbank costs $80–$200 and pays for itself in systems that aren’t fighting leaky ducts in 150°F attics. We check heat exchanger integrity, gas pressure, burner alignment, and airflow through undersized return plenums common in 1950s ranches. Annual service catches cracked heat exchangers before they pump carbon monoxide into living spaces.
Heat Exchanger Inspection & Replacement
Cracked heat exchangers are a safety issue we don’t negotiate. In Burbank’s older housing stock, furnaces often cycle more frequently due to poor duct design, accelerating metal fatigue. If we find a crack, we explain exactly what we found, show you if possible, and recommend replacement or full furnace replacement based on age and condition. No vague scare tactics. Just facts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank
We’re certified to service nine major HVAC brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. That multi-brand fluency matters in Burbank, where a 1960s ranch might have a vintage Bryant and a renovated hillside home might run American Standard. We stock common parts for Carrier, Trane, and Bryant locally, which means faster repairs for Burbank customers without waiting on warehouse shipping. From a single mini-split to a full commercial system, one company handles it.
Common Heating & Furnace Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Oversized furnaces short-cycling in airport-adjacent homes. Those noise-reduction double-pane windows in 91505 and nearby ZIP codes lower heat loss significantly. Technicians who skip Manual J calculations install furnaces too large for the actual load, causing temperature swings, excess wear, and failed components.
- Duct leakage from deteriorated seals in shallow, superheated attics. Burbank’s retrofitted central systems often run through unconditioned attics that bake duct tape and mastic to failure. Your furnace works harder, your bills climb, and rooms stay cold.
- Failed ignitors and gas valves on original floor-furnace replacements. When Burbank homeowners upgrade from wall or floor furnaces to central gas systems, the new equipment cycles differently. Ignitors take more thermal stress, and gas valves can stick if pressure wasn’t properly adjusted for the new configuration.
- Heat exchanger cracks in high-cycle systems. Poor duct design makes Burbank furnames start and stop more often than designed. More cycles mean more thermal expansion and contraction. More stress means earlier failure.

FAQs — Heating & Furnace in Burbank
Shallow, poorly insulated attics in 1940s–1960s bungalows destroy duct seals, and fall Santa Ana winds spike attic temperatures when homeowners expect natural cooling, forcing furnaces to compensate for massive duct losses. The equipment itself is often fine; it’s the delivery system bleeding heat into unconditioned space. Call (844) 875-9451 and we’ll test your duct leakage with a pressure pan.
Usually yes, but only with proper load calculation and duct design. Floor furnaces heat unevenly and don’t filter air, but slapping a central furnace into 1950s ductwork designed for a later retrofit often creates worse problems. We evaluate your home’s envelope, including any window upgrades, and design a system that actually works with Burbank’s extreme heat gain. Free estimates: (844) 875-9451.
They reduce heat loss by 15–20% compared to single-pane originals, which means a furnace sized for typical 1950s construction will be oversized and short-cycle. We account for this in our Manual J calculations. Skipping this step wastes your money and creates comfort problems. Our techs know to ask about window upgrades in 91505 and surrounding areas.
We service Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard, with factory training or equivalent field experience across all nine. Most Burbank homes run one of these brands, and we carry common parts for faster repair. If your furnace is a less common brand, we can still diagnose and often source parts within 24 hours.
Yes, because Burbank’s extreme attic temperatures and Santa Ana wind cycles create unique stress patterns. Annual service catches cracked heat exchangers, verifies gas pressure after seasonal thermal expansion, and cleans burners that accumulate dust from nearby hillside and construction activity. The $80–$200 cost prevents mid-winter failures that always happen at the worst time. Schedule at (844) 875-9451.
