AfterHVAC Company in Hemet, CA
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC contractor Hemet homeowners call when they want a straight answer on price before the work starts. We repair air conditioners, install heat pumps, and fix furnaces across the Hemet valley, from the older ranch homes near Florida Avenue to the newer developments east of Sanderson. Most Hemet homes are 20 to 50 years old, which means we see a lot of heat-weathered condensers, undersized ductwork, and furnaces that sat idle through the mild shoulder seasons. If you need service, call (361) 306-9515 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Hemet Homes Are Different
Hemet sits in the San Jacinto Valley, where summer highs routinely break 100 degrees and the winter nights can dip near freezing. That swing puts real stress on HVAC equipment. An air conditioner in Hemet often runs 10 or more hours a day from June through September, which is a harder duty cycle than coastal systems ever see. We regularly find condensers with baked-out capacitors and contactors, especially on homes along Stetson Avenue and in the Hemet Valley corridor where afternoon sun hits the west-facing walls without much shade.
The housing stock matters too. Hemet has a high number of 1960s through 1990s single-family homes with original duct runs, much of it flex duct that has sagged or separated at the plenum. That means a furnace or AC replacement in Hemet often includes duct sealing or minor redistribution, not just a box swap. The terrain is relatively flat, which helps with access, but the soil here in the valley is sandy and fine, so outdoor condenser pads shift over time unless they are set on a proper base. We check pad level on every service call.
Our Main Hemet Services
Two services account for most of the calls we get from Hemet homeowners in any given month: air conditioning repair through the long hot season, and heat pump installation when a system has finally reached the end of its useful life. Below is how each job tends to look in Hemet, and links to the full pages where you will find prices, timelines, and guarantee terms.
AC Repair in Hemet
When an air conditioner quits in Hemet in July, the house gets uncomfortable fast, and a broken AC in this heat is a genuine health hazard, especially for older residents and anyone with respiratory issues. We diagnose the system, put the repair price in writing before any work starts, and get most repairs done the same visit. Common Hemet failures include refrigerant leaks at the evaporator coil, failed run capacitors, locked compressor contactors, and clogged condensate lines. Full details and the price ranges for AC Repair in Hemet are on our dedicated page.
Heat Pump Installation in Hemet
Heat pumps make sense in Hemet because they cool efficiently through brutal summers and provide heat on the coldest winter nights without a gas line or a separate furnace. Many Hemet homeowners are switching to heat pumps now as older gas furnaces and air conditioners age out, especially with utility rebates available for high-efficiency equipment. Installation requires a proper load calculation, and we handle the full scope from equipment selection to permits to final startup. See Heat Pump Installation in Hemet for the full breakdown.
Furnace Repair in Hemet
Hemet winters are short, but the nights do drop below 40 degrees, and a furnace that will not fire when you need it is a problem that cannot wait long. We carry most common furnace parts on the truck, which means many Hemet furnace repairs are finished the same day. The usual failures we see are igniter burnout, dirty flame sensors, failed draft inducer motors, and cracked heat exchangers on older units. For the full price ranges and what is covered, see Furnace Repair in Hemet.

Brands We Service in Hemet
Our technicians are factory-trained on Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem equipment, along with five other major residential brands.

Pricing for HVAC Company in Hemet, CA
| Service | Typical range in Hemet |
|---|---|
| AC repair | $150 – $650 |
| Furnace repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a Hemet repair to the higher end of those ranges is usually the part itself: a compressor, an evaporator coil, or a draft inducer motor costs more than a capacitor or a flame sensor, and that is true in every city. The price you see is the price you pay here, though. Every job gets a written quote before any work begins, and every repair carries a written guarantee for a full year. If the repair fails inside that year, we come back at no charge.
