AfterHVAC Company in Los Angeles, CA
Dalton Heating & Air is an HVAC company serving Los Angeles, CA with a fixed way of doing business: a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee on every repair, and a live person on the phone around the clock. Los Angeles is a city of older central systems in Valley ranch homes, high-efficiency heat pumps in hillside remodels, and more than a few furnaces that never get checked until a December cold snap. If your system has failed or is running behind the weather, call (361) 306-9515.
Why Los Angeles Homes Are Different
Los Angeles HVAC work follows the city’s building patterns. A 1950s rancher in the San Fernando Valley usually has a gas furnace and a separate AC unit, often original ducting sized for equipment that has since been replaced. A newer hillside house in Silver Lake or Echo Park is more likely to run a heat pump, sometimes with zone controls and an air handler in a tight closet or attic. Those installs mean working around steep lots, narrow access paths, and equipment pads cut into slopes.
The climate puts unusual strain on compressors. Summer temperatures in the Valley regularly cross 100°F while coastal neighborhoods stay 20 degrees cooler, so sizing is not a guess. An AC system sized for a Westside apartment will not hold temperature in Van Nuys. We size to the house, the duct work we actually see, and the exposure, not a square-footage table. Los Angeles also has a mix of permit requirements for equipment moves and HOA rules about condenser placement, and we flag both before a job starts so there are no surprise stop-work calls.
Our Main Los Angeles Services
Most Los Angeles homeowners call us for one of three things: an AC that stopped cooling in summer, a heat pump install or replacement, or a furnace that will not light in winter. Each service has its own Los Angeles page with pricing and details.
AC Repair in Los Angeles
Los Angeles AC repair calls spike in July and August, but the failures usually start earlier. A compressor that is short-cycling in June becomes a no-cool call by August. Common Los Angeles jobs include capacitor and contactor replacement, condenser fan motors, refrigerant leak repairs, and drainage problems on attic units. We keep parts for major brands on our trucks and give every repair a written one-year guarantee. AC Repair in Los Angeles covers what we fix, what it costs, and how fast we can be there.
Heat Pump Installation in Los Angeles
A heat pump install in Los Angeles is a different job than a forced-air swap. The house may not have gas service, the electrical panel may need an upgrade, and the condenser needs a level, accessible pad, which hillside lots do not always offer. We handle the load calculation, the permit paperwork, and the install, with a fixed written price before any materials are ordered. Heat Pump Installation in Los Angeles walks through the process and the equipment options.
Furnace Repair in Los Angeles
Los Angeles furnaces sit unused most of the year, and the first cold night is when the problems show up: igniters that will not glow, limit switches tripping, inducer motors that hum and stop. Older homes in Los Angeles often have 80% efficiency furnaces from the 1980s and 1990s, and parts are still available for most of them. We diagnose, quote a written price, and repair on the same visit whenever the part is on the truck. Furnace Repair in Los Angeles covers the details and repair ranges.

What pushes a Los Angeles price toward the top of a range is usually access: rooftop units in commercial conversions, attic air handlers in Encino, or condensers squeezed into side yards with less than the code-required clearance. What does not change is the way we price. You get the number in writing before any work begins, and that is the number you pay.
