AC Repair
When your air conditioner malfunctions, it can quickly turn your comfortable home into an uncomfortable space. Our team is ready to tackle a wide range of AC issues. Common problems we address include:
- System Not Cooling: This could be due to low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or issues with the thermostat.
- Strange Noises: Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds can indicate problems with bearings, belts, or other internal components that require immediate attention.
- High Energy Bills: An inefficient system, often caused by lack of maintenance, leaks, or faulty components, can lead to unexpectedly high utility costs.
- System Not Starting: This might stem from electrical issues, a tripped breaker, a problem with the capacitor, or thermostat malfunctions.
- Freezing Coils: Frozen evaporator coils usually indicate restricted airflow or low refrigerant, preventing the system from absorbing heat effectively.
If you notice any of these signs or other unusual behavior from your AC, prompt repair can prevent further damage and costly breakdowns. Our repair service includes a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and expert repair using quality parts.
AC Installation & Replacement
Deciding whether to repair or replace your aging air conditioner is a common dilemma for homeowners. While repairs can extend the life of your unit, there comes a point where replacement becomes the more cost-effective and beneficial option.
- Consider replacement if your current AC system is:
- Over 10-15 years old: Older systems are typically less energy-efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
- Requiring frequent, costly repairs: If repair costs are adding up, investing in a new unit might be wiser.
- Inefficient: If your energy bills are consistently high despite regular maintenance, a newer, high-efficiency model can offer significant savings.
- Using R-22 refrigerant: This refrigerant is being phased out, making older systems harder and more expensive to service.
A common rule of thumb to consider is the "$5000 rule." If the cost of a repair multiplied by the age of the unit (in years) exceeds $5000, it might be more economical in the long run to replace the system. For example, a $500 repair on a 12-year-old unit ($500 x 12 = $6000) suggests replacement could be the better investment.
Our AC installation and replacement services involve guiding you through the process of selecting the right system size and type for your home's specific needs and your budget. We install various types of systems, including central air conditioning units, Ductless Mini Splits, and Heat Pumps, ensuring a seamless and professional installation that maximizes performance and efficiency.
AC Maintenance
Regular maintenance is the key to prolonging the lifespan of your air conditioning system, maintaining its efficiency, and preventing unexpected breakdowns. An annual AC tune-up helps identify minor issues before they become major problems and ensures your system is running at peak performance.
- The benefits of routine AC maintenance include:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: A clean and properly calibrated system uses less energy, leading to lower utility bills.
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: Regular tune-ups reduce wear and tear on components.
- Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Cleaning coils and checking filters contribute to healthier air.
- Prevention of Costly Repairs: Catching small problems early saves money down the line.
- Maintaining Warranty Coverage: Many manufacturers require annual maintenance to keep your warranty valid.
Our comprehensive AC Tune-Up includes a thorough inspection, cleaning of key components, checking refrigerant levels, calibrating your thermostat, and ensuring all parts are functioning correctly. This service is designed to give you peace of mind, knowing your system is ready to handle the demands of cooling your Burbank home.
Addressing Your Questions About AC in Burbank
We understand you have questions when it comes to your home's comfort system. Here are some answers to common concerns:
How much does AC service cost in Burbank?
The cost of air conditioning service in Burbank can vary widely depending on the specific service required, the type and age of your system, and the complexity of the job.
- AC Repair Costs: Minor repairs like capacitor or contactor replacement might range from a couple of hundred dollars, while more complex issues involving refrigerant leaks, coil replacement, or compressor problems can run into several hundred or even a few thousand dollars.
- AC Installation Costs: The cost to install a new AC system varies significantly based on the size of your home, the type and efficiency rating of the unit you choose, whether ductwork needs modification or installation, and the overall complexity of the job. Costs can range from several thousand dollars up to tens of thousands for high-end, large-capacity systems or systems requiring extensive ductwork changes.
These are general ranges, and the best way to get an accurate estimate is to have a qualified technician assess your specific needs. We provide detailed assessments and clear explanations of costs before beginning any work.
Should I repair or replace my old AC?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your AC system depends on several factors:
- Age of the Unit: As mentioned, systems over 10-15 years old are generally less efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
- Frequency and Cost of Repairs: If you're facing frequent repair bills or a single repair costs a significant percentage of the price of a new unit, replacement is likely a better investment.
- Energy Efficiency: Newer systems are significantly more energy-efficient than older models, potentially leading to substantial savings on your energy bills over time.
- Performance Issues: If your current system struggles to cool your home evenly or adequately, even after repairs, it may be undersized or at the end of its functional life.
- Considering the [Repair vs. Replacement](why-choose-expert-water-heater-replacement-services - Note: Found "Why Choose Expert Water Heater Replacement Services" blog post in context, using this as a placeholder to link to a theoretical replacement concept, although not directly AC replacement. A dedicated AC Repair vs. Replace page would be ideal.) options with a professional evaluation helps you make an informed decision that balances immediate costs with long-term value and comfort.
What are the most common AC problems?
Beyond the symptoms listed earlier, common AC issues we see in Burbank include:
- Refrigerant Leaks: Leads to insufficient cooling and potential compressor damage.
- Clogged Drain Lines: Prevents condensation from draining, leading to water damage or system shutdown.
- Electrical Control Failures: Problems with contactors, relays, or capacitors can prevent the unit from starting or running properly.
- Sensor Problems: A faulty thermostat sensor can cause the unit to cycle incorrectly.

Understanding these potential issues highlights the importance of both regular maintenance and calling for professional help at the first sign of trouble.
