AfterHVAC Company in Jupiter, FL
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company Jupiter homeowners call when the system stops cooling in August or the heat pump won’t fire on a January night. We do AC repair, heat pump installation, and furnace repair across Jupiter, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins. If you need a technician who shows up inside the window and stands behind the work for a full year, call (361) 306-9515. This page covers what makes Jupiter HVAC work different, what things cost here, and where we go.
Why Jupiter Homes Are Different
Jupiter sits right on the Atlantic, and that salt air is the variable every technician has to account for. Condenser coils here corrode faster than inland. We regularly pull apart outdoor units in Abacoa, Jupiter Farms, and along Center Street and find pitting on the aluminum fins after eight or nine years, which means the unit runs hotter and pulls more amperage than it should. A coil that would last 12 years in Orlando gets replaced at year 10 in Jupiter.
Housing stock splits into two rough groups. The older ranch and split-plan homes off Indiantown Road and Military Trail were built in the 1970s and 1980s, many with original duct runs sized for systems that are long gone. Jupiter Farms is a different animal entirely, larger lots, well water, no natural gas in most of the area, and a lot of heat pump work. Newer construction in Abacoa and along Donald Ross Road tends to have tighter envelopes and newer equipment, but we still see undersized returns and flex duct that was never pulled tight.
Permits matter here. Most of Jupiter is in unincorporated Palm Beach County or the Town of Jupiter proper, and mechanical permits are pulled through the county or town depending on the address. HOAs, especially in Abacoa, often have rules about where a condenser can sit and what it can look like from the street. We pull the permit and handle the HOA paperwork so the job does not stall at the last step.
Our Main Jupiter Services
These are the three jobs Jupiter homeowners call us for most often. Each has its own page with full pricing, local details, and what to expect when we arrive.
AC Repair in Jupiter
Most Jupiter AC failures land in two seasons: the first sustained heat of May and the worst stretch in August. A capacitor or contactor fails, the condenser fan stops turning, and the house climbs past 80 degrees by noon. We keep common parts on the trucks: capacitors, contactors, fan motors, contactor relays, and a range of refrigerant. A Jupiter repair typically runs $150 – $650 depending on the part and the system. We diagnose, put the price in writing, and most repairs are finished same visit. Full breakdown on the AC Repair in Jupiter page, including what fails most in coastal air.
Heat Pump Installation in Jupiter
Jupiter Farms and the non-gas neighborhoods run almost entirely on heat pumps, and a heat pump here does two jobs: it cools for nine months and heats for the January cold snaps. Sizing matters more than most people think. Undersize it and the strip heat runs constantly in winter, oversize it and the coil never dehumidifies properly in summer. We run a Manual J load calculation on every install, not a rule of thumb. Install pricing in Jupiter runs $3,500 – $7,500 depending on size, efficiency, and duct condition. Details, rebates, and brand options are on the Heat Pump Installation in Jupiter page.
Furnace Repair in Jupiter
Jupiter has a handful of neighborhoods with natural gas, and those furnaces run a few hundred hours a year. That sounds light, but short run cycles mean igniters, flame sensors, and pressure switches fail with less warning than in northern climates. A furnace that ran fine in March refuses to light on the first cold morning in December. Most Jupiter furnace repairs run $150 – $700 depending on the part. We carry igniters, sensors, and control boards for the common gas furnace brands. See the Furnace Repair in Jupiter page for the common failure list and what we check first.

Brands We Service in Jupiter
We service and install nine major residential brands, and our Jupiter crews carry parts for Trane, Lennox, and Goodman systems on the truck, with Rheem parts available same day from our local supply house. That usually means a one-visit repair instead of a diagnostic trip followed by a parts run. See our brands for the full list and what we stock.

Coastal corrosion and older ductwork are the two things that push a Jupiter job toward the top of those ranges. A condenser on the intracoastal side of A1A will have more rust and pitting than one five miles inland, and that can mean replacing a part plus cleaning or repairing the surrounding cabinet. On every job, the price is in writing before any work starts, and it does not change unless you approve a change in scope first.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Jupiter
Most Jupiter repair calls are same day. When you call, we give you a two-hour arrival window, and the technician shows up inside that window. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call (361) 306-9515 and we will give you a real arrival window, not a callback promise.
For a full system replacement, yes. The permit is pulled through the Town of Jupiter or Palm Beach County depending on the address. Dalton Heating & Air pulls the permit as part of the installation, and we handle HOA paperwork for communities like Abacoa. Repairs that replace a failed part do not typically require a permit. Call (361) 306-9515 and we can confirm what applies to your address.
Yes. We work with Jupiter HOAs regularly, especially in Abacoa and along Donald Ross Road, where condenser placement and street visibility rules are common. We submit the required documentation before installation and schedule the work around the HOA approval window, so the job is not held up at the end. Call (361) 306-9515 for a free estimate.
