AfterHVAC Company in Burbank, CA
Meadowsweet Heating & Air handles heating and cooling work across Burbank with a written price before any work starts. Most of our calls here come from 1940s-1960s bungalows and ranch homes with original undersized ductwork running through attics that can exceed 140°F in summer. Add in Burbank’s position at the eastern end of the San Fernando Valley, where summer highs routinely hit 105°F while coastal LA sits in the 70s, and the result is a workload where duct leakage, insulation gaps, and equipment undersizing come up on nearly every visit. Call (747) 966-3037 for a free estimate.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank runs on its own municipal utility, Burbank Water and Power (BWP), not SCE or LADWP. That detail trips up contractors who arrive with paperwork formatted for other jurisdictions and end up with rejected permits and re-inspection delays. It also means BWP runs its own rebate programs and inspection timelines for equipment upgrades, which is where a careful contractor saves homeowners real money. Burbank’s south and central neighborhoods, including Magnolia Park and the blocks around the old Lockheed corridor, were built fast during the post-WWII aerospace boom. The homes are solid, but the duct systems routed through those attics were sized for a different climate and often leak 20-30% of conditioned air into unconditioned space before it ever reaches a bedroom. In fall, the Verdugo Mountains funnel Santa Ana winds straight into the city, causing temperature and humidity swings that strain heat pump reversing valves and capacitors. Our crews plan around all of it: the housing stock, the wind patterns, the permit desk at Burbank City Hall, and the fact that summer heat here is not a coastal-heat kind of problem.
Our Main Burbank Services
Burbank homeowners call us most about two things: air conditioners that stop cooling during a 105°F week, and furnaces that misbehave on the first cold night after a Santa Ana event. Below are the three services we provide here, each with its own detailed Burbank page.
AC Repair in Burbank
When a central AC fails in Burbank in July or August, the attic heat alone can push a system past its limits, and we commonly see failed capacitors, leaking refrigerant lines, and blower motors worn down by continuous run cycles. We work on nine major brands, keep common parts stocked locally, and diagnose according to what the house actually needs rather than what is easy to sell. See our full service and pricing details on the AC Repair in Burbank page.
Furnace Repair in Burbank
Burbank furnaces do not work hard most of the year, which means the first cold snap tends to reveal cracked heat exchangers, dirty burners, and ignition issues that sat dormant through the warm months. We protect floors and quiet rooms while we work, and we check the full venting path so your family is not breathing anything but warm air. Read about what we fix and typical costs on the Furnace Repair in Burbank page.
AC Installation in Burbank
Installing a new system in Burbank means more than swapping equipment. The old ducts in many of these homes leak, the original permits predate today’s BWP efficiency standards, and undersizing is the most common mistake we correct. We size each system to the actual heat load of the house, handle BWP rebate paperwork, and protect floors and furniture while the job is underway. Full scope and pricing are on the AC Installation in Burbank page.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Burbank

For most repair calls in Burbank, we respond same-day or next-morning. If it is a 105°F week and your AC is down, we prioritize no-cooling calls because the heat inside an uninsulated Burbank bungalow is a health risk. Call (747) 966-3037 for the current schedule.

What Burbank Customers Say
"Good repair and a very tidy, respectful tech. The appointment window was wide and he came near the end of it, but he texted ahead. Work itself was clean and done right."
- Nadine Oakley"Furnace tune up before winter. He was careful going in and out, closed the gate behind him every time because of the kids, and cleaned up the work area completely. Calm, thorough guy."
- Marcus Pell"Comfortable in every room now, and not a trace that a crew had been here. Booties, drop cloths, the works. They even wiped down the thermostat they'd handled. Really considerate."
- Lamar Finch
