AfterHVAC Company in Heath, OH
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company in Heath, OH that puts the price in writing before any work begins. Heath sits in Licking County, where summers regularly push into the high 80s and winters dip below freezing – which means your cooling and heating systems both work hard, often in the same month. Whether you need a furnace diagnosed on a January morning or an AC repaired during an August heat wave, call (361) 306-9515 and a live person answers, day or night. Each of our three main services has its own Heath page, linked below.
Why Heath Homes Are Different
Heath’s housing stock spans several decades, and that changes the work. Many homes along Cynthia Street and Andover Road were built in the 1970s and 1980s, when HVAC installers sized systems differently and ran ductwork through spaces that are tight by today’s standards. Older subdivisions like Meadowbrook and the streets off Dorsey Mill Road tend to have furnaces past their first or second replacement cycle, which means we see more cracked heat exchangers, worn blower motors, and rusted condensate pans than in newer construction.
The terrain matters too. Heath sits on relatively flat ground near the South Fork of the Licking River, but clay-heavy soil shifts with freeze-thaw cycles. Outdoor AC condensers and heat pump units can settle out of level, which strains refrigerant lines and reduces efficiency. That’s a Heath-specific issue we check on every cooling or heat pump call, because a unit that’s tilted even a few degrees costs more to run and fails sooner.
Permits are another local reality. Licking County requires mechanical permits for most replacements and some repairs, and Heath’s inspections follow county code. Homeowners in HOA-managed neighborhoods off Hebron Road also often need architectural review before outdoor equipment gets replaced. We pull the permits and handle the paperwork; you shouldn’t have to figure out the county’s forms.
Our Main Heath Services
Three services make up the bulk of the work we do in Heath. Each has its own page with pricing, process, and local details – click through for the full breakdown.
AC Repair in Heath
When a Heath AC quits in July, the first question is almost always “can you come today?” Most AC repairs in Heath run $150 – $650 depending on what failed. A capacitor or contactor is a quick, inexpensive fix; a failed compressor is the expensive end of that range. We arrive with parts for Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and other major brands stocked locally, so most repair calls wrap up in one visit. Every repair gets a written guarantee for a full year. Full details are on the AC Repair in Heath page.
Heat Pump Installation in Heath
A heat pump is a strong fit for Heath’s climate, handling cooling in summer and heating through most of the winter before switching to backup heat on the coldest nights. Installation in Heath runs $3,500 – $7,500 depending on the system size, efficiency rating, and any ductwork modifications. We size the unit by a full load calculation, not by guessing off the old equipment’s label. The full process, including the written fixed price and what installation day looks like, is on the Heat Pump Installation in Heath page.
Furnace Repair in Heath
Heath furnaces get called on from October through April, and the most common failures we see are ignitors, flame sensors, gas valves, and blower motors. Most furnace repairs in Heath run $150 – $700 depending on the part. If your furnace is short cycling, making a banging sound, or blowing cold air, the specific symptoms and expected costs are covered on the Furnace Repair in Heath page. Every repair includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Pricing for HVAC Company in Heath, OH
| Service | Typical range in Heath |
|---|---|
| AC Repair | $150 – $650 |
| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC Installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Heat Pump Installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-Up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a Heath repair toward the top of that range is usually the part: compressors, blower motors, and gas valves cost more than capacitors or ignitors. Access matters too – some Heath basements and crawlspaces make furnace work slower, and that labor shows up in the quote. Whatever the job, the price is in writing before we start, and it doesn’t change at the door.
