When the heat goes out on a cold Glendale night, you want a technician who shows up quickly, finds the real problem and tells you the price before starting. Orion HVAC is based just up the road in La Crescenta and provides furnace repair, heat pump repair and new heating system installation for homes throughout Glendale — from Adams Hill and the Verdugo Woodlands to Sparr Heights, Rossmoyne and Chevy Chase Canyon.
Heating in Glendale homes
Glendale has many homes built from the 1920s through the 1960s, often with furnaces in hallway closets, attics or crawl spaces and ductwork that has been modified over the years. Hillside neighborhoods near the Verdugo Mountains get noticeably colder at night than the flats. Furnaces that sit unused for most of the year collect dust, and the first cold week of fall is when dirty flame sensors, failed igniters and weak blower motors show up.
We diagnose the whole system — not just the part that failed — and explain your options clearly, whether that is a simple repair or a properly sized new furnace or heat pump.
Heating services we offer in Glendale
- Furnace repair — no heat, cold air from the vents, short cycling, igniter and flame sensor problems, blower and motor failures
- Heat pump repair — heating and cooling problems, defrost issues, refrigerant leaks
- Furnace installation and replacement — new efficient gas furnaces and matched furnace + AC systems
- Heat pump installation — one electric system for heating and cooling

Common furnace problems we fix
- Furnace will not turn on or the burners will not light
- Blower runs but the air is cold — see why a furnace blows cold air
- Furnace turns on and off repeatedly

Safety first: if you smell gas, leave the home and call the gas company or 911 from outside. If your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer same-day furnace repair in Glendale?
Yes. For no-heat calls we try to schedule the same day whenever possible. Call (323) 736-3737 for the earliest available time.
How long does a furnace last?
Most gas furnaces last roughly 15–20 years with regular maintenance. If yours is in that range and needs a major repair, it is worth comparing repair against replacement. Read Repair or Replace? How to Decide.
Should I get a heat pump instead of a furnace?
In our mild climate, a heat pump is a strong option for many homes, especially if you are also replacing the air conditioner. See Heat Pump vs. Gas Furnace in Southern California.
