AfterHVAC Company in Cheney, WA
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company Cheney homeowners call when the heat won’t start in January or the AC quits during a July heat wave. We serve the whole Cheney area with written pricing before any work begins, background-checked technicians, and a full-year guarantee on every repair. Cheney’s climate is the defining factor in most of our work here: cold, dry winters push furnaces and heat pumps hard, while summer heat arrives fast and lingers. Whether you need an emergency repair or a full system replacement, call (361) 306-9515 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cheney Homes Are Different
Cheney sits on the high plateau southwest of Spokane, which means two things for HVAC equipment: real winter cold and dry summer heat. Overnight lows in December and January regularly dip into the teens, so a furnace that is limping along will fail at the worst possible time. Summer highs climb into the 90s for weeks at a stretch, and homes without air conditioning become genuinely uncomfortable, especially with the wind that sweeps across the Palouse carrying dust and pollen into outdoor units.
The housing stock here is a mix of older homes near Eastern Washington University, 1970s and 1980s ranchers in the neighborhoods north of First Street, and newer construction on the south and west edges of town. Older homes often have undersized ductwork and original electrical panels that need to be checked before a heat pump goes in. Newer builds tend to have tighter envelopes, which changes how we size equipment. We also see a fair number of rental properties near campus, where a failed furnace in the middle of a Cheney winter is a legitimate emergency for tenants and landlords alike.
Our Main Cheney Services
Most Cheney homeowners reach out to us for one of three reasons: the AC stopped cooling in summer, the furnace stopped heating in winter, or it’s time to replace an aging system with a heat pump. Each has its own page with pricing and details specific to Cheney.
AC Repair in Cheney
When an air conditioner fails in Cheney, it usually fails on a 95-degree day. Common issues we find here include refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, and condenser coils clogged with cottonwood or dust from the surrounding farmland. We diagnose the problem, put the repair price in writing before any work starts, and handle most AC Repair in Cheney calls the same day. Our techs carry parts for all major brands, so a single visit usually gets the system cooling again.
Heat Pump Installation in Cheney
Heat pumps make a lot of sense in Cheney’s climate: they heat efficiently in winter and cool in summer, which matters in a town that gets both temperature extremes. Older homes often need an electrical panel upgrade before installation, and we size the system to the home’s actual load, not a rule of thumb. Heat Pump Installation in Cheney includes a written fixed price, a scheduled install date, and the rebate paperwork handled for you.
Furnace Repair in Cheney
Furnace failures in Cheney tend to cluster in the first cold snap of the season, when systems that sat idle all summer get asked to work hard. We see failed igniters, dirty flame sensors, and blower motors that gave out mid-season. Furnace Repair in Cheney runs $150 – $700 depending on the part, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. If it fails within that year, we return at no charge.

What pushes a Cheney repair toward the high end of these ranges is usually the part: a compressor costs more than a capacitor, and a heat exchanger costs more than a flame sensor.
