Expert Package Unit Repair & Replacement in Brea, CA
Brea, nestled at the base of the Brea Hills, experiences warm summers that make a reliable air conditioning system essential. Many Brea homes and businesses rely on package units — all-in-one HVAC systems typically installed on rooftops or concrete slabs. When your package unit fails, you need a repair service that understands the unique demands of these systems, especially in hillside locations where equipment access can be challenging. At Season Control, we specialize in package unit repair and replacement for Brea homeowners and businesses. Our certified technicians diagnose issues quickly and recommend repair or replacement based on your unit’s age, condition, and efficiency. Call us today at (833) 581-1178 for a free estimate.
Package units are popular in Brea for their space-saving design and ease of installation. However, they face constant exposure to sun, wind, and temperature swings. On hillside properties, additional challenges include difficult access for maintenance and increased wind exposure. Common signs of a failing package unit include weak or warm airflow, unusual noises (rattling, squealing, or grinding), water leaks inside your home, ice formation on the unit (in cooling mode), and unexpectedly high energy bills.
Our repair services address the most frequent issues. We replace failed compressors — the heart of the cooling system — when they are under warranty or when replacement is cost-effective. We repair refrigerant leaks, which not only reduce cooling capacity but can also damage the compressor. We replace failed blower motors and condenser fan motors, clean dirty evaporator and condenser coils to restore efficiency, and fix electrical issues such as failed contactors, capacitors, and control boards.
For gas/electric package units, we repair faulty igniters, flame sensors, and gas valves. For heat pump package units, we repair reversing valves and defrost controls.
When repair is no longer cost-effective — typically when the unit is over 12 to 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has a failed compressor — we recommend replacement. Upgrading to a new high-efficiency package unit can significantly reduce your cooling and heating costs. Modern units achieve SEER ratings of 16 to 20, compared to older units that may operate at 10 SEER or less. For hillside properties, we pay special attention to equipment placement for service access.
Our replacement process includes a thorough load calculation to ensure proper sizing — critical in Brea’s variable climate. We remove your old unit, install the new package unit on a new or existing pad, connect refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and ductwork, install a new thermostat if desired, and test the system thoroughly. We also handle all necessary permits.
Upgrading may qualify for available rebates from Southern California Edison and federal tax credits. Our technicians are known for their punctuality and clean work.
