Dalton Heating & Air is the Houston HVAC company homeowners call when the humidity wins and the system loses. Houston jobs are different because the housing stock is different: slab foundations, attic-installed horizontal units, and condensate drains that clog constantly in 200+ days of high moisture. We show up inside the stated window, put the price in writing before any work starts, and stand behind every repair for a full year. Call (903) 494-7686 and you’ll get a live person, any hour.
Why Houston Homes Are Different
Houston’s humidity is the real load on your equipment, not just the temperature. Summer days above 95°F push compressors hard, but the moisture in the air is what rusts evaporator coils and fills drain pans with sludge. Most Houston homes are single-family builds from the 1970s onward, which means slab foundations and horizontal air handlers up in the attic – a sweaty, tight workspace where a sloppy install gets expensive fast. Inside the Loop, older pier-and-beam homes in neighborhoods like the Heights and Montrose often have no closet space for a vertical unit, so we regularly retrofit ductwork or spec a ductless mini-split where a conventional system simply will not fit. In Meyerland and Braeswood Place, years of bayou flooding have pushed homeowners to raise outdoor condensers onto curbs and request corrosion-resistant coil coatings. Coastal air moves in further than people expect, and it punishes unprotected metal. The Garrison Standard on every Houston job means the price is in writing, the site is left clean, and the repair is guaranteed for a full year.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Houston Services
Most Houston calls to Dalton Heating & Air fall into one of three categories, and each has its own page with detailed pricing and what to expect.
AC Repair in Houston
Houston air conditioners run nearly year-round, so failures tend to happen at the worst possible moment: a July afternoon or a humid October night. The typical call involves a refrigerant recharge, a failed capacitor, or a clogged condensate drain. Factory-trained Dalton technicians service Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard, and every repair includes a written guarantee and a free return visit if the work does not hold. Read the full breakdown on AC Repair in Houston.
Heat Pump Installation in Houston
A heat pump makes sense in Houston because it cools efficiently through the long shoulder seasons and heats adequately for our brief, mild winters. The important local detail is dehumidification: a properly sized heat pump with enhanced moisture removal keeps a Houston house comfortable at a higher set point than an oversized single-stage AC. Every install starts with a load calculation, not a guess, and the price is fixed in writing before equipment is ordered. See specifics on Heat Pump Installation in Houston.
Furnace Repair in Houston
Houston furnaces sit idle for ten months and then get asked to work during a cold snap, which is exactly when ignition systems, limit switches, and blower motors fail. Our technicians diagnose the fault, quote the repair in writing before touching a component, and carry common parts on the truck. Most furnace repairs in Houston run $150 to $700 depending on the part and the furnace’s age. Full details are on Furnace Repair in Houston.

Every Dalton Heating & Air job includes a written price before any work starts – the number on the quote is the number on the invoice, no exceptions.
