AfterHVAC Company in San Jose, CA
San Jose runs hot and dry in summer, and the HVAC work here reflects that. We’re Dalton Heating & Air, a Garrison Partners company held to The Garrison Standard since 2003. Our crews service AC repair, heat pump installation, and furnace repair across San Jose with written pricing before any work starts and a full-year written guarantee on every repair. If you need someone who shows up inside the window and leaves the site clean, call (361) 306-9515.
Why San Jose Homes Are Different
San Jose housing stock spans about ninety years of construction, which means an HVAC call here rarely looks the same twice. A 1950s ranch in Willow Glen with original ductwork and a 2005 tract home in Evergreen with a builder-grade condenser are different jobs by a wide margin. Add the summer heat – triple digits for stretches in July and August – and you get systems that run hard for months, then sit idle through the mild, wet winter.
That cycling pattern is the reason capacitor failures and refrigerant leaks show up so consistently in San Jose. The equipment bakes in direct sun on flat, exposed rooftops, especially in newer developments around Berryessa and south toward Blossom Valley. In older neighborhoods like Rose Garden and Naglee Park, we run into tight electrical panels and swap-outs that force creative routing around mature trees and zero-lot-line yards. San Jose also has a real permitting culture for mechanical work – HOAs in planned communities will ask for documentation on heat pump changes, and we handle that paperwork as a routine part of the job.
Our Main San Jose Services
These are the three calls San Jose homeowners make most often, and each one has a dedicated page with full pricing detail, coverage terms, and what to expect on the visit.
AC Repair in San Jose
An air conditioner failing in San Jose usually fails on the hottest week of the year. We diagnose the system, put the repair cost in writing before touching a tool, and stock common parts for the major brands on the truck so most work gets done same-day. A refrigerant recharge – topping off the cooling fluid the system needs to reach set temperature – is a common fix for older R-22 units across San Jose’s aging housing stock. Every repair includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Details and San Jose pricing are on the AC Repair in San Jose page.
Heat Pump Installation in San Jose
Heat pumps make particularly good sense in San Jose’s climate, where winter lows rarely justify a gas furnace running full-out and summer cooling is the main event. A properly sized heat pump replaces both the AC and the furnace in one system, which frees up a closet in many San Jose floor plans. We run a load calculation before quoting, handle the HOA paperwork where a planned community requires it, and give a written fixed price with a set install date. Full details are on the Heat Pump Installation in San Jose page.
Furnace Repair in San Jose
Furnaces in San Jose sit idle most of the year, then get asked to work during the coldest, wettest stretch of winter. Ignition failures, failing blower motors, and cracked heat exchangers are the common calls. Because the furnace has been dormant for months, we pay close attention to venting and combustion safety on every repair, not just the symptom that made the system quit. Every furnace repair carries the same written full-year guarantee. Pricing and response details are on the Furnace Repair in San Jose page.

Brands We Service in San Jose
We’re factory-trained on nine major residential HVAC brands, so a Goodman condenser or a Rheem air handler won’t leave our technicians guessing. We stock common parts for Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin systems locally, which cuts turnaround on a high percentage of San Jose repairs. See the full list on our brands page.
Pricing for HVAC Company in San Jose, CA
| Service | Typical range in San Jose |

| Furnace Repair | $175 – $825 |
| AC Installation | $4,130 – $8,850 |

What pushes a San Jose job toward the top of those ranges is compressor replacement, a heat pump swap on a roof-mounted unit with a crane lift, or a code upgrade on an older electrical service. What never varies is the price itself – we put the number in writing before any work begins, and the written quote is what you pay.
