AfterHVAC Company in Storrs, CT
Storrs homeowners call us when the AC quits in July or the furnace won’t kick on in January. As a Garrison Partners location, Dalton Heating & Air sends background-checked, uniformed technicians to homes across Storrs, CT, with one rule that never bends: the price is in writing before any work starts. Most of our jobs here are on homes built between the 1950s and the 1990s, where aging ductwork and original equipment create repair and replacement calls that a cookie-cutter tune-up company can’t handle. Call (361) 306-9515 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why Storrs Homes Are Different
Storrs, CT sits in the Quiet Corner of the state, well inland from the moderating effect of Long Island Sound. That means the thermometer swings harder here than it does down in New London or Stamford: winter nights routinely drop into single digits, while summer heat waves push into the 90s with humidity that tests every AC system. Homes around Storrs were built to heat first and cool second, a reality that shapes everything we do.
The housing stock is a mix. We see 1970s ranches off Route 195 with original furnaces and no central air. We see newer subdivisions near the UConn campus with heat pumps that were sized for a different climate than the one Storrs actually gets. Many homes on South Eagleville Road and nearby streets have basements where furnaces sit, meaning drainage and airflow around the unit matter just as much as the equipment itself. Ductwork in these older colonials and capes runs through unheated attic spaces, so insulation on the ducts, not just the walls, determines whether a bedroom actually gets warm in February. Those details change the way we diagnose and the way we quote. A furnace repair in Storrs is rarely just a part swap; it is a whole-system check under specific local conditions.
Our Main Storrs Services
These are the three jobs Storrs homeowners call Dalton Heating & Air about most, each with its own full page covering pricing, process, and what to expect.
AC Repair in Storrs
Central air takes a beating in Storrs summers, especially when humidity spikes and a correctly sized system still struggles on the third floor of a colonial. We diagnose the problem, explain what failed and why, and hand you a written quote before touching a tool. Common calls here include failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks on systems older than 12 years, and condensate lines backing up in basement units. A noisy compressor or a fan that runs without cooling gets sorted the same day in most cases. Full detail is on AC Repair in Storrs.
Heat Pump Installation in Storrs
More Storrs homeowners are switching to heat pumps as utility incentives improve and systems like Daikin and Bryant keep pushing cold-climate performance forward. Installation here is not a drop-in job: it needs correct sizing for Connecticut winters, proper placement away from snow drifts, and a plan for where the condensate goes when temperatures sit below freezing for a week. We size, order, and schedule every install with a fixed written price and a set date. Read more at Heat Pump Installation in Storrs.
Furnace Repair in Storrs
When a furnace dies on a January night in Storrs, waiting is not an option. Our techs respond fast, diagnose the fault, and in most cases get heat back the same visit. The common failures we see locally are pressure switches failing on high-efficiency units, igniters cracking after years of cycling, and blower motors seizing from dust buildup in basement installs. Every repair carries a full-year written guarantee. See Furnace Repair in Storrs for specific pricing and what a call covers.

What pushes a Storrs repair toward the upper end is usually age and access: a 1990s furnace tucked into a crawlspace costs more in labor than a 2015 unit in an open basement.
