AfterHVAC Company in Kenmore, WA
Dalton Heating & Air is an HVAC company serving Kenmore, WA with written pricing, on-time arrival, and a full-year written guarantee on every repair. Most homes here fall into two groups: 1960s and 1970s construction around the lake’s north end, and newer 1990s through 2010s builds up the hill toward Arrowhead and Inglewood. That mix means we see everything from original low-voltage wiring to modern variable-speed heat pumps, and the job is different enough that our Kenmore pages break out AC repair, furnace repair, and heat pump installation separately. Call (361) 306-9515 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Why Kenmore Homes Are Different
Kenmore sits at the north tip of Lake Washington, and that shoreline position does more than make for good views. Air moving off the water keeps the lower neighborhoods cooler and damper than the ridges above, so the same heat pump sized for a home near Log Boom Park will run differently than one at 61st Avenue NE up in the Highlands. The housing stock is not uniform either. The lake-level streets have a lot of single-story ramblers with crawl spaces and old duct runs; the hill climbs into split-levels and two-story colonials with longer return-air paths and hotter upstairs rooms in summer. Swampy ground near the Sammamish River means some condensers sit on shifting soil, which is a real thing when you are checking line sets and pad level year after year.
Kenmore is part of King County, so any heat pump or AC replacement that moves refrigerant typically needs a mechanical permit pulled by the installing contractor. Homeowners should not have to chase that paperwork; the crew doing the work should handle it. The neighborhoods themselves are quiet and well kept, with older trees that drop needles and cottonwood fluff into outdoor condenser coils every spring. That is a Kenmore maintenance reality we plan for on every AC replacement and repair visit.
Our Main Kenmore Services
Kenmore homeowners call most about two things when the weather turns: a furnace or heat pump that stopped working, and an AC system that cannot keep up. Each job has its own page below so the pricing and finished details stay where they belong, on the service page rather than buried here.
AC Repair in Kenmore
An air conditioner that runs but will not cool in a Kenmore summer is usually low on refrigerant – topping off the cooling fluid the system needs to reach set temperature – or has a condensing unit plugged with cottonwood and pine needles. Older lake-level homes run original 10 SEER condensers that are worth repairing only if the compressor and coil are in good shape. Our AC Repair in Kenmore page breaks down what we check first, what typical jobs cost at Kenmore’s going rates, and how the written guarantee works on a repair. Marco Benitez and the rest of the crew show up in a marked van, booted and background-checked.
Heat Pump Installation in Kenmore
A heat pump installation in Kenmore has to be sized for the lake air, not a generic Seattle tonnage chart. We see two-story hill homes where the upstairs was never comfortable with the original duct-only system, and newer construction where a cold-climate heat pump is the only heat source. Putting the right unit in means a real load calculation and a straight answer about whether your ducts can carry the air. Heat Pump Installation in Kenmore covers sizing, pricing, and what a properly installed cold-climate unit should do on a 20-degree January night.
Furnace Repair in Kenmore
Most Kenmore furnace calls in winter are either a dead ignitor, a failing pressure switch, or a belt-driven blower that has been howling since the first cold snap. Gas furnaces from the 1980s and 1990s are common in the lake-level homes, and when the inducer motor goes, the heat stops entirely. Because this is Washington in January, we treat no-heat calls as urgent. Furnace Repair in Kenmore explains what a failing heat exchanger smells like, what we will not patch to get you through the season, and what repair budgets look like across the city.

Brands We Service in Kenmore
We keep common Trane, Lennox, and Goodman parts on the truck for Kenmore calls, so most repairs are one visit instead of two. If a Rheem condenser is down and the part is not in stock locally, our turnaround is usually next day. See our brands page for the full list of nine major residential lines we are factory-trained on.
Pricing for HVAC Company in Kenmore, WA
| Service | Typical range in Kenmore |
|---|---|
| AC repair | $150 – $650 |
| Furnace repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a Kenmore job toward the top of those ranges is usually access: a condenser placed on a sloped side yard, a crawl space with tight clearance, or a furnace closet in a hallway that was never meant to be serviced. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Kenmore
Most Kenmore repair calls are same-day. No-heat and no-cool calls get priority because a dead furnace in a Kenmore January is a frozen-pipe risk, not an inconvenience. If you call before noon, we almost always have a technician to your door that afternoon.
King County mechanical permits are typically required for refrigerant work, including most AC and heat pump replacements. Dalton Heating & Air handles the permit filing as part of the installation. Repair work that does not open the refrigerant circuit generally does not need one.
No. Kenmore is inside our normal dispatch area, so there is no trip charge tacked on for coming to the city. The price you get in writing is the price for the job, whether you are near Kenmore Village or up in Arrowhead.
