Glendale has a rich history of going green, dating back to 1928 when the city earned the “Miss American Green Cross” label. The environmental organization that awarded yesteryear’s residents with this recognized their strife to save American trees, and our current neighbors acknowledged that it was something we had to keep going. 

Since 1982, our Indigenous Tree Ordinance has protected native trees and continues to do so to date, but our town doesn’t stop there. By providing HVAC services in Glendale, CA, Brody Pennell Heating & Air Conditioning does its part to create a more eco-friendly and comfortable environment. Trust our licensed and insured team to bring these efforts into your home. 

Air Conditioning Maintenance

The residents of Glendale see sauna-like weather during the summer, with temperatures regularly spiking well above 90 degrees. However, that doesn’t mean your air conditioner should be heating up while working to cool you down. Semi-annual maintenance deters premature breakdowns and as much as 85% of repairs since a professional thoroughly inspects all unit parts. During the spring and fall, to prepare for and wind down after excessive use, an experienced technician does the following:

• Check refrigerant levels to guarantee cooling power
• Examine for refrigerant or water leaks
• Calibrate your thermostat and ensure its not near heat sources that could contribute to incorrect readings
• Tighten electrical connections
• Lubricate the motor, fan belt, and moving parts
• Change air filters and clean the vents and air ducts
• Clear water out of the condensate drain line and drip pan
• And more!

AC Repairs

Unfortunately, your air conditioning unit will require repairs from time to time. AC units often show signs it will need professional attention soon, however, many wait until their unit stops producing cool air altogether before they call for servicing. Don’t hold off on a much-needed fix. Trust our HVAC services in Glendale, CA to get your system working like new again the moment you notice any of the following:

• Refrigerant leaks near your unit, which also lead to warmer air output
• Alarming sounds, like banging, buzzing, whistling, or grinding
• Little to no airflow 
• Long and short cycling causing inadequate and uneven cooling 
• The unit is not powering on
• Higher energy bills 

Waiting to fix these concerns causes already-worn components to work harder, eventually breaking down. Since every part of your unit is vital for functionality, this creates a blockade when your unit is working to produce your desired temperatures. The system then runs longer, taking years off its lifespan and leading more parts to deteriorate prematurely, which ends with you needing a new unit.  

Air Conditioning Replacement & Installation

Whether your unit’s 12 to 15 year lifespan is up or you’ve placed maintenance on the back burner, causing premature deterioration, a replacement may be your only option for indoor comfort. Our team partners with top manufacturing brands to deliver the most energy-efficient and advanced units on the market. They’ll improve cooling costs and reduce repairs while changing how you use the system.

HVAC systems have come a long way from the manual thermostat, where you would have to manually alter the setting whenever you wanted the temperature warmer or cooler. Most are equipped with a programmable thermostat, allowing you to have up to five temperature changes daily and different sets throughout the week. Otherwise, a smart thermostat offers control on the go from your smart device. 

Once you determine the appropriate unit for your home, our team will install it in one day and offer a maintenance plan for future HVAC services in Glendale, CA, to keep it like new beyond its lifespan.

Heating Maintenance

Electric and gas furnaces work similarly to your AC, sucking in surrounding air and altering its temperature to match your thermostat setting. However, with a wide variety of heating components available, you may have a more cost-efficient heat pump instead, which transfers hot air in or out of your home rather than creating it.

While both systems suffice with our only slightly chilly mid-40-degree winter lows, semi-annual maintenance is key to having the warmth you need when your home feels colder. Like with your cooling unit, change your filters every three to four months or sooner, depending on your surrounding air quality, to prevent air blockages from particle buildups. For the rest, call a Glendale expert who’ll complete the following tasks:

• Clean the burners of soot buildup 
• Check the gas line for leaks if you have a gas furnace
• Clean and lubricate the motor and bearings
• Tighten screws and bolts on loose parts
• Recalibrate the thermostat for accurate temperature readings
• Flush drain pipes and traps 
• Test the smoke and carbon detectors for optimal safety
• And more!

Heating Repair

While uncovering the signs you need a heater repair is never fun, it’s important you address them so you can schedule a small repair rather than a large replacement. Many symptoms are similar to those on your cooling unit, including higher energy bills, short and long cycling, and unfamiliar sounds and odors. However, others you may notice include:

• A weak or orange pilot light on your gas furnace
• Cool air escaping the vents despite how much you crank the thermostat up
• A gas smell, which means you should evacuate immediately and call a professional to inspect for a gas leak
• Carbon monoxide detectors going off

Heating Unit Replacement

While some units become less energy efficient over time, burning more to produce less warm air, others stop putting out air altogether, rendering it useless. Our qualified team will work with you to try and repair the system, but if we find a replacement is better, we’ll relay your options for heat pumps, furnaces, and water heaters. 

Once we settle on a unit type and brand, we’ll measure your home’s square footage to determine the size of your new unit before installing it in one visit. We’ll also run it one complete cycle to ensure no problems. We provide warranties on all work we complete.
