When the System Breaks Down, We Show Up: Our HVAC Services
Green Planet Heating and Air responds to the full range of residential HVAC emergencies, from a cooling system that stops working on a hot afternoon to a furnace that won’t ignite on a cold night. Our emergency services cover four main categories:
- Emergency AC repair for central systems, condensers, and refrigerant issues
- Emergency heating repair and furnace repair for heat loss and ignition failures
- Emergency heat pump repair and mini-split repair for high-efficiency and ductless systems
- Urgent safety and air quality calls involving carbon monoxide concerns, burning smells, or water damage risks
Emergency AC Services
Our skilled technicians provide emergency AC repair for central systems, outdoor condenser units, and refrigerant circuits across all major brands.
- Central AC breakdown repair: The system fails to turn on during high heat or runs without producing cold air. We diagnose the fault and restore cooling as quickly as possible.
- Refrigerant leak detection and repair: A hissing line or a system that has gradually stopped cooling often points to a refrigerant leak. We locate the source, make the repair, and recharge to the correct level using A2L-compliant refrigerants where applicable.
- Frozen evaporator coil restoration: Ice buildup on the coil blocks airflow, causing the system to shut down. We identify the root cause, whether a clogged filter or low refrigerant, and restore the system to normal operation.
- Condenser fan motor replacement: An outdoor unit that has stopped spinning or makes grinding sounds before shutting off usually needs a motor replacement. We carry common assemblies for major brands and complete most replacements in a single visit.
For routine AC service calls, we also offer scheduled service to keep systems running efficiently between emergencies.
Emergency Heating Services
Green Planet provides urgent heating repair for furnaces, blower motors, and control systems when warmth stops reaching your home.
- Furnace ignition and pilot light repair: A furnace that clicks but won’t fire, or one that shuts off shortly after starting, is often an ignition or flame sensor issue. We diagnose and fix the fault to restore heat quickly.
- Blower motor failure repair: If the furnace runs but warm air never reaches the rooms, the blower motor is the likely culprit. We test, repair, or replace the motor and confirm airflow before leaving.
- Thermostat malfunction repair: A miscommunicating thermostat can make a functioning system look broken. We pinpoint the issue at the control level before touching the equipment.
- Gas valve and safety sensor replacement: A failed gas valve or a tripped safety sensor can shut down a system entirely. We replace the component and verify safe operation before restoring heat.
We offer scheduled heating services in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and surrounding communities.
Emergency Heat Pump and Mini-Split Services
Our technicians handle urgent repairs for heat pumps and ductless mini-split systems, including the electrical and refrigerant components these systems depend on.
- Reversing valve repair: A heat pump that remains in cooling mode during cold weather indicates a failed reversing valve. We replace the valve and confirm the system switches correctly between modes.
- Mini-split drainage and leak repair: Water dripping from a wall-mounted unit can quickly damage walls, ceilings, and floors. We clear clogged condensate lines and fix leaks.
- Inverter board replacement: High-efficiency variable-speed systems rely on inverter boards for operation. When the board fails, the system goes down. We carry tools specific to these systems and replace faulty boards on the first visit.
For new system planning, we also offer heat pump installation and mini-split installation as part of our complete residential lineup.
Urgent Safety and Air Quality Emergencies
Some HVAC problems go beyond comfort. Green Planet responds to urgent safety calls involving potential hazards to the home and its occupants.
- Carbon monoxide inspection: A cracked heat exchanger can allow combustion gases into the living space. This is a priority call. We inspect the exchanger and tag the system if it cannot be safely used.
- Burning smell investigation: An electrical short or overheating component inside the HVAC system needs immediate attention. We trace the source, make the repair, and confirm the system is safe before restarting it.
- Condensate drain line clearing: A clogged drain line can back up and overflow into attic spaces, ceilings, or walls within hours. We clear the line and check the drain pan and float switch to prevent a repeat.
If air quality issues persist after a service call, our indoor air quality services can help.
What Qualifies as an HVAC Emergency?
An HVAC situation is an emergency when the home is unsafe, a safety hazard exists, or property damage is actively occurring or imminent. These three conditions define a true emergency.
Unsafe Temperature
A home that has lost heat during cold weather or cooling during extreme heat is a health concern, particularly for elderly residents, young children, or pets. These calls cannot wait for a scheduled appointment.
Active Safety Risk
Any suspicion of a gas leak, carbon monoxide, or an electrical fault producing a burning smell inside the system requires immediate attention. Do not attempt to restart the system. Call for service right away.
Imminent Property Damage
A backed-up condensate line flooding an attic, a refrigerant leak near electrical components, or water dripping from a mini-split onto drywall are all situations where every hour of delay increases the damage.
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us. Our team can help you assess it over the phone.
One Standard Approach for Every Emergency Call
Green Planet Heating and Air applies the same approach to every emergency HVAC service, whether it is a simple part replacement or a full system diagnostic in the middle of the night.
Our technicians explain what they find in plain language, walk through your options, and let you make the call. No pressure, no overselling.
After your service, we offer tips and recommendations to prevent future issues. Our specialists keep a clean workspace on every visit. Taking care of your home is part of how we take care of the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer after-hours and weekend emergency service?
Yes. Green Planet Heating and Air provides emergency service Monday through Friday and on Sunday. Our team is available outside standard business hours for urgent calls across our service area.
How quickly can a technician arrive for an emergency?
We dispatch technicians as quickly as possible and gather your system details when you call so we can arrive prepared. Most emergency visits are resolved in a single trip.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency technician?
For a cooling emergency, close blinds and limit appliance use to reduce heat inside the home. For a heating emergency, use safe supplemental heat if available. For safety concerns involving gas or a burning smell, leave the home and do not attempt to restart the system.
Can you service any brand of HVAC equipment?
Our technicians work on major residential brands across central ducted systems, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. We prepare according to your system before arrival.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
We evaluate each situation individually. A repair makes sense when the cost is reasonable relative to the system’s age and condition. Replacement becomes the better option when the system is older and repair costs are high. We present both options honestly so you can decide what works best for your home and budget.
