La Crescenta-Montrose is Orion HVAC’s home base, so when your heat stops working, we are usually just minutes away. We repair, maintain and install furnaces and heat pumps for homes throughout La Crescenta, Montrose and the nearby foothill neighborhoods, from Foothill Boulevard up to the streets below the Angeles National Forest.
Foothill winters need reliable heat
At the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, La Crescenta gets noticeably colder than the Los Angeles basin. Winter nights regularly drop into the 30s and low 40s, so a working furnace is not optional. Many homes in the area have older furnaces in attics, garages and hallway closets, and Santa Ana winds and wildfire smoke load up filters quickly.
Because we are local, we know these homes well. We diagnose the problem carefully, explain it in plain language and give you the price before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer same-day furnace repair in La Crescenta-Montrose?
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.
