Burbank winters are short, but cold nights in the Valley are real — and a furnace that has been idle since spring often picks the first chilly evening to fail. Orion HVAC provides furnace repair, heat pump repair, maintenance and new heating system installation for homes across Burbank, including the Rancho district, Magnolia Park, the Media District and the hillside neighborhoods above Glenoaks Boulevard.
Heating in Burbank homes
Many Burbank homes are post-war houses from the 1940s and 1950s with older furnaces in garages, closets or attics and original ductwork. These systems often work hard in summer as part of the AC system and then sit for months, so the blower motor, capacitor, igniter and flame sensor wear out. Older wall and floor furnaces are also still common and may be due for replacement.
We find the real cause of the problem, give you the price up front and, when a furnace is near the end of its life, show you honest options for repair and replacement — including a heat pump that handles both heating and cooling.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer same-day furnace repair in Burbank?
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.
