AfterHVAC Company in Seattle, WA
HVAC work in Seattle runs into two things most other markets never see: salt air working on outdoor condenser coils, and a housing stock that leans older, tighter, and hill-climbed. We’re Dalton Heating & Air, a Garrison Partners company, and we handle AC repair, heat pump installation, and furnace repair across Seattle with written pricing and a one-year written guarantee on every repair. Call (361) 306-9515 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail queue.
Why Seattle Homes Are Different
Seattle homes were built for rain, not for the heat waves that now push July temperatures into the 90s for days at a time. That means a lot of the HVAC equipment in Queen Anne, Ballard, and West Seattle was retrofitted into houses that never had central air, often with the outdoor unit squeezed onto a steep side yard or a roof deck with limited clearance. Those installations run fine until they don’t, and then the repair comes with a ladder and a harness.
The salt air off Puget Sound accelerates corrosion on condenser coils in Magnolia, West Seattle, and anywhere within a few blocks of the water. We see coil leaks there years before the same unit would fail in Bellevue or Shoreline. Older Seattle homes also carry tighter electrical panels and plaster walls that make running new line sets a genuinely different job than a new build in a flat subdivision. Add the city’s energy code requirements for new heat pump permits, and a Seattle install is never a copy-paste from another market.
Our Main Seattle Services
Three services make up the bulk of what Seattle homeowners call us for. Each has its own page with pricing, what’s covered, and what to expect. Here’s the short version.
AC Repair in Seattle
Most Seattle AC failures show up during the first real heat wave of the summer, when a system that sat idle for nine months gets asked to run flat out. We diagnose everything from failed capacitors to refrigerant leaks and corroded coils, with a written price before we touch anything. Full details on cost ranges and the repair guarantee are on the service page. AC Repair in Seattle
Heat Pump Installation in Seattle
Heat pumps are the fastest-growing install in Seattle because they heat and cool, and the city’s mild winters make them a strong efficiency play. Our installs are sized to the house, not to the old unit, and we handle the Seattle permit application as part of the job. Written fixed price before the work starts.

Furnace Repair in Seattle
When a furnace quits in a Seattle winter, the house gets cold and stays cold, and the wet air makes it feel worse than the thermometer says. We stock ignitors, flame sensors, inducer motors, and gas valves on the trucks, so most repairs are one trip. The repair is guaranteed in writing for a full year. If it fails in that time, we return at no charge. Furnace Repair in Seattle

Pricing for HVAC Company in Seattle, WA
Seattle HVAC pricing varies by the job, but these are the ranges we quote most often. Every price is in writing before any work begins.
| Service | Typical Range in Seattle |
|---|---|
| AC repair (minor electrical or capacitor) | $175 – $365 |
| AC repair (refrigerant leak repair and recharge) | $365 – $765 |

| AC installation (full system) | $4,130 – $8,850 |
What pushes a repair toward the top of the range in Seattle is usually access: rooftop units, steep side yards, crawl spaces in older homes, or equipment from the 1990s that needs a discontinued part. The quote accounts for that before we start, and the number you sign off on is the number you pay.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Seattle
For no-heat calls in winter or no-cooling calls during a heat wave, we aim for same-day response when you call before 2 p.m. Standard maintenance and install estimates run one to three days out. Call (361) 306-9515 and a dispatcher will give you a window on the spot.
Yes. Seattle requires permits for most heat pump installations, and we pull and file them as part of the job. That’s built into the written quote, not tacked on later. If the city inspector flags something, we correct it under the same guarantee period.
Every repair we do in Seattle comes with a written one-year guarantee. If the same repair fails inside that window, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s the standard on every job, not an upgrade. Call (361) 306-9515 for an exact quote, and that number is what you pay.
