AfterHVAC Company in Oakhurst, CA
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company Oakhurst homeowners call when a repair has to hold, a price has to be written down before the work starts, and the crew has to show up inside the window. Houses here climb from the 2,500-foot mark near town up past 4,000 feet on the way to Bass Lake, which means real altitude changes, real snow exposure, and systems that earn their keep. Whether you need AC Repair in Oakhurst, a heat pump install, or a furnace that fires on the coldest January morning, call (361) 306-9515 and we will give you a written number before anything gets touched.
Why Oakhurst Homes Are Different
Oakhurst sits at the edge of the Sierra Nevada foothills, just below Yosemite’s south gate. That location drives everything about the HVAC work we do here. Summer afternoons routinely push into the high 90s, and the altitude means the sun hits hard. Winter nights drop well below freezing, sometimes into the teens on the ridges above town. A lot of the housing stock along Highway 41 and the roads feeding off it, places like Royal Oaks and Sierra Lakes, was built in the 1970s and 80s, and the ductwork shows its age. Add to that the pine duff everywhere – it clogs condenser coils faster than almost anywhere else we work. We check coil condition on every Oakhurst call because the trees are doing more damage than the heat is.
Permits are a real consideration here. Madera County requires permits for most equipment swaps and new duct runs, and some of the HOAs around Bass Lake have their own rules about where a condenser can sit. We handle the paperwork as part of the job. It is one less thing for you to chase.
Our Main Oakhurst Services
Most calls we take in Oakhurst split into two groups: cooling that quit in the middle of a 95-degree afternoon, and heating that will not start when the overnight low is headed for 20. Each service has its own full page below, so you can see exact pricing, what the job involves, and how we handle the first visit.
AC Repair in Oakhurst
An Oakhurst air conditioner typically fails for one of three reasons: a plugged condenser coil from pine needles, a capacitor that gave out after years of hard cycling, or a refrigerant leak that slowly strangled the system. Our techs diagnose the actual fault, quote the repair in writing, and carry the common parts – capacitors, contactors, fan motors, and more – on the truck. For the full breakdown of what we see most and what it costs, visit the AC Repair in Oakhurst page.
Heat Pump Installation in Oakhurst
Heat pumps make real sense for Oakhurst. One system covers both the cooling season and the shoulder months, and the altitude does not hurt efficiency the way it can with gas. We size the system to the actual heat load of your house, not a rule of thumb, and we install Goodman, Rheem, and Daikin units with electric backup for those nights below 25 degrees. Full details, including installed price ranges, are on the Heat Pump Installation in Oakhurst page.
Furnace Repair in Oakhurst
When the temperature drops and a furnace will not light, the culprits in Oakhurst are usually an igniter, a flame sensor that has carboned up, or a gas valve that has reached the end of its life. Our techs carry the common ignition and sensor parts for Carrier, Trane, and York furnaces, so most repairs happen in one visit. For the full list of what we fix and the specific price ranges, go to the Furnace Repair in Oakhurst page.

Pricing for HVAC Company in Oakhurst, CA
