AfterHVAC Company in Richland Hills, TX
Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company Richland Hills homeowners call when a system quits in July or a furnace won’t light in January. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means ductwork sized for older standards, electrical panels that sometimes need evaluation before a new system goes in, and attics that get brutally hot in summer. We handle AC repair, heat pump installation, and furnace repair across Richland Hills with written pricing before any work starts and a full-year written guarantee on every repair. Call (361) 306-9515 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Richland Hills Homes Are Different
Richland Hills sits just northeast of Fort Worth, and its housing stock tells a story. The city developed heavily in the mid-20th century, so you’ll find a lot of brick ranch homes with original duct runs and mechanical closets that have been retrofit at least twice. That matters when you’re pricing a repair or an install: a furnace in a tight closet takes longer to service than one in an open garage, and older returns often starve modern high-efficiency systems of airflow. We see it on a lot of jobs here. The terrain is mostly flat to gently rolling, but clay soil shifts with the Texas drought-and-deluge cycle, which can settle condenser pads out of level over time. Richland Hills also enforces permits through the city for mechanical changes, and our team handles that paperwork on installations so homeowners aren’t chasing forms. When summer temperatures climb past 100 and stay there for weeks, undersized or aging AC systems in Richland Hills show their limits fast, and that’s when most of our repair calls land.
Our Main Richland Hills Services
Two of the three services Richland Hills homeowners call us about most are AC repair in the summer and furnace repair when the first cold snap hits. Heat pump installation is the third, and it’s growing as homeowners look for one system that handles both seasons without a separate furnace.
AC Repair in Richland Hills
When a condenser shuts down in August, the attic is 140 degrees, and the house won’t drop below 82, you need a crew that shows up inside the stated window and puts the price in writing before touching anything. Most AC repairs in Richland Hills run $150 – $650 depending on the failed part. We stock common capacitors, contactors, and fan motors, but we also service the big brands found in Richland Hills homes so a board or blower motor doesn’t leave you waiting on a parts house. Every repair gets a written one-year guarantee, and if the same issue returns within that year, we come back at no charge. Learn what’s involved on our dedicated AC Repair in Richland Hills page.
Heat Pump Installation in Richland Hills
A heat pump replaces both your AC and furnace with one outdoor unit that moves heat instead of burning fuel, and in Richland Hills winters where temperatures usually stay above freezing, it’s an efficient choice. Installations run $3,500 – $7,500 depending on home size, duct condition, and the efficiency tier you choose. What most homeowners in Richland Hills don’t realize is that a heat pump is not a drop-in swap; it requires a load calculation, a check on your electrical service, and often a new thermostat. We quote the whole job in writing with a set install date before any equipment is ordered. See how a heat pump fits a Richland Hills home on our Heat Pump Installation in Richland Hills page.
Furnace Repair in Richland Hills
Furnaces in Richland Hills tend to be gas-fired, and when one won’t ignite on a 20-degree January morning, the priority is getting heat back without a guess-and-check repair. Most furnace repairs run $150 – $700 depending on the part, with ignitors, flame sensors, and gas valves being the usual suspects. Safety matters here: a gas furnace that’s short-cycling or emitting a sulfur smell needs a trained technician, not a DIY attempt. Our team diagnoses the problem, puts the repair price in writing, and only starts work after you approve it. The repair carries the same full-year written guarantee as every service we do. Details on common Richland Hills furnace failures are on our Furnace Repair in Richland Hills page.

Brands We Service in Richland Hills
Our technicians are factory-trained to service nine major residential HVAC brands, including Goodman, Rheem, and York, which are common across Richland Hills. We keep a rolling stock of common parts in our trucks, so a capacitor for a Goodman or a board for a Rheem doesn’t mean a second trip. See the full brand list on our brands page.
Pricing for HVAC Company in Richland Hills, TX
| Service | Typical range in Richland Hills |
|---|---|

| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC Installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-Up | $80 – $200 |
Those ranges cover common Richland Hills jobs, but a few things push a quote toward the top end: a system beyond its expected life that needs a discontinued part, tight mechanical closets in older ranches that add labor time, or a duct system that has to be modified rather than connected. That’s why we put the price in writing before any work begins, so you’re never surprised by the final number.
