AfterHVAC Company in Apopka, FL
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company Apopka homeowners call when the AC quits in August or the heat pump starts short-cycling in January. We handle repair and installation work across the city under The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee on every repair, and a crew that shows up inside the stated window. Call (361) 306-9515 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail queue.
Why Apopka Homes Are Different
Apopka sits at the edge of the Wekiva basin, and the humidity here is relentless from May through October. That changes how HVAC systems behave. Condensate lines clog faster. Evaporator coils work harder and fail sooner. Systems that were sized for a dryer climate struggle to keep 2,500-square-foot homes below 75 degrees when the heat index climbs past 100.
Housing stock varies block by block. Neighborhoods like Errol Estates and Rock Springs Ridge have newer construction with higher-efficiency systems, many of them heat pumps. Older pockets near Apopka’s downtown core and along 441 still run conventional split systems, some installed 15 or 20 years ago. In those homes, air handler placement can be tight, ductwork is often undersized, and electrical panels may need attention before a new unit goes in.
The clay-heavy soil in parts of Apopka also matters for outdoor units. Pads settle and shift, which puts strain on refrigerant lines. We see units sitting out of level more often here than in neighboring cities to the south. It’s a small detail, but it shortens compressor life.
Our Main Apopka Services
Three services make up most of what we do in Apopka. Each has its own page with full pricing and job details.
AC Repair in Apopka
When an AC goes down in Apopka in July, the house becomes uncomfortable within hours. Most repair calls we get here involve refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, or clogged condensate lines – the last one being especially common given the humidity. Every repair starts with a diagnostic, every price is in writing before we touch anything, and every repair is guaranteed in writing for a full year. Details are on our AC Repair in Apopka page.
Heat Pump Installation in Apopka
Apopka’s mild winters make heat pumps a sensible choice for many homes here, especially in newer subdivisions where electric heat is the standard. A properly sized heat pump handles both cooling and heating, which suits central Florida’s climate quirks. Installation is load-calculated, not guessed. We walk you through sizing, rebate paperwork, and scheduling before any equipment is ordered. Full breakdown lives on our Heat Pump Installation in Apopka page.
Furnace Repair in Apopka
Furnaces are less common in Apopka than heat pumps, but plenty of older homes still have them, and when a cold front pushes through in December or January, a dead furnace is a real problem. Common issues we run into locally are ignition failures, bad thermostats, and gas valve problems. We service all major brands and stock common furnace parts on our trucks. See our Furnace Repair in Apopka page for pricing and specifics.

Brands We Service in Apopka

Pricing for HVAC Company in Apopka, FL
| Service | Typical range in Apopka |

What pushes a repair toward the high end in Apopka is usually part availability and system age. A 20-year-old unit with a failed compressor is going to cost more than a capacitor swap on a 6-year-old system. Whatever the number, it’s in writing before any work begins – that’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Apopka.
