AfterHVAC Company in Franklin, TN
Dalton Heating & Air handles HVAC work across Franklin, TN, from century-old homes near downtown to newer construction in the southeast growth corridors. What separates Franklin jobs is the mix: tight crawlspaces in historic districts, slab foundations in mid-century subdivisions, and heat-pump-heavy systems in the subdivisions built after 2000. We arrive with the price in writing before any work starts, and every repair is guaranteed in writing for a full year. If you need someone out today, call (361) 306-9515.
Why Franklin Homes Are Different
Franklin’s HVAC loads swing hard between July humidity and January cold snaps, and the housing stock doesn’t respond to those swings uniformly. A 1920s cottage off West Main will have a duct system cut through joists for a coal furnace, retrofitted three times since. A 2015 build in Berry Farms or Westhaven will have a tight envelope and a heat pump sized for mild winters, which means it strains when temperatures drop into the teens. Crawlspace homes in older sections of Franklin trap moisture against duct work, and we routinely find rusted plenums and collapsed flex duct in those. In contrast, the slab-on-grade homes built through the 1980s around McKay’s Mill and Fieldstone Farms run supply lines through attics where summer heat soaks unconditioned air before it reaches the registers.
HOA requirements matter in Franklin. Westhaven, Berry Farms, and other planned communities have architectural review processes for exterior HVAC changes, particularly condenser placement. We’re accustomed to working with those boards and can prepare the documentation they request when a new system or relocated unit is part of the job.
Our Main Franklin Services
The three calls we get most in Franklin come down to failed cooling in summer, failed heating in winter, and planned heat pump replacements. Each of those has its own Franklin page because each one involves different equipment, different lead times, and different pricing structures.
AC Repair in Franklin
Franklin summers push air conditioners hard, and the most common failures we see are capacitor failures on condensing units, low refrigerant from slow leaks, and clogged condensate drains backing up into overflow pans. An AC repair call in Franklin typically starts with a system diagnostic to isolate the failing component, then a written price for the repair before any work begins. If you’re in a newer Franklin subdivision with a heat pump, the diagnosis often crosses into the reversing valve or defrost control. For the full breakdown of what we repair and what it costs, see AC Repair in Franklin.
Heat Pump Installation in Franklin
A heat pump installation in Franklin means first matching the system to the home’s heating load, not just its cooling load. That’s the mistake we see in some Franklin homes where the original equipment was sized for air conditioning alone and the previous owner added a heat pump without recalculating. We run a full load calculation on every installation, then provide a written fixed price covering equipment, duct modifications if needed, electrical, and the permit. For the specifics on equipment selection and what a Franklin installation involves, see Heat Pump Installation in Franklin.
Furnace Repair in Franklin
Furnace breakdowns in Franklin usually show up during the first hard cold snap, which is when every HVAC company in the county gets slammed at once. The failures we see most in this market are failed ignitors on gas furnaces, tripped rollout switches from restricted heat exchangers, and blower motors worn out from running year-round in systems that also handle cooling. We stock common replacement parts on our trucks, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. For a detailed list of furnace issues we handle in Franklin, see Furnace Repair in Franklin.

Pricing for HVAC Company in Franklin, TN
Franklin HVAC pricing runs close to the Nashville metro average, with some variance by neighborhood and housing age. Here is what we see across the market for the work we do.
| Service | Typical Range in Franklin |
|---|---|
| AC repair (minor: capacitor, contactor, drain) | $150 – $350 |
| AC repair (major: compressor, coil) | $450 – $650 |
| Furnace repair (minor: ignitor, flame sensor, pressure switch) | $150 – $350 |
| Furnace repair (major: blower motor, control board) | $400 – $700 |
| AC installation (full system, new or replacement) | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-up (maintenance call, heating or cooling) | $80 – $200 |
Two things push a Franklin job toward the upper end of those ranges: access and housing age. Tight crawlspaces and attic-mounted air handlers add labor time, and older homes with outdated duct work need more to bring the system up to a level that will hold. Regardless of the number, the price is always in writing before work begins, and it doesn’t change at the door.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Franklin
Yes, in most cases. We staff Franklin calls daily and keep parts on trucks for the most common failures so a diagnostic and repair can happen in the same visit. The exceptions are major component replacements that require ordering part by part, and we’ll tell you the lead time before any commitment is made.
Most HVAC installations and some repairs in the city and surrounding Williamson County require a permit. We handle the permit paperwork on every installation and ensure the work is inspected by the local jurisdiction before the job closes.
Several Franklin communities, including Westhaven and Berry Farms, have design review requirements for condenser placement or replacing equipment. We can prepare the documentation your HOA requests and coordinate installation to meet those standards before the unit goes in.
