Dalton Heating & Air is the HVAC company Kendall homeowners call when an aging AC gives out in August or a furnace quits on the one cold night of the year. Most jobs here trace back to two things: older ranch homes with undersized ductwork, and South Florida humidity that punishes equipment year-round. We do AC repair, heat pump installation, and furnace repair in Kendall, with written pricing before any work starts and a full-year guarantee on every repair. When your system fails, call (850) 754-6042 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Kendall’s housing stock runs heavy on single-family ranch and split-level homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s, plus a solid share of mid-rise condos and townhome communities. Those homes were built for a different era of cooling, and the original ductwork, much of it galvanized steel in the attic, was sized for units that moved less air. In a Kendall summer, the humidity is relentless, and that steel duct sweats. Homeowners see ceiling stains, weak airflow from vent to vent, and assume the AC is low on refrigerant when the real issue is duct insulation that has failed. Our technicians open an attic and know within minutes what they’re looking at.
The coastal air adds another problem. Salt from Biscayne Bay drifts over the area and settles on outdoor condenser units. Combined with Kendall’s near year-round cooling load, coils corrode fast. Evaporator coils in older systems get pitted and leak, often within 10 to 12 years instead of the 15 or more you would see in drier climates. Condo owners face tight mechanical closets and HOA rules about what can sit on a balcony or roof; homeowners in communities like Kendall Lakes and The Crossings deal with aging duct runs that no longer match what a modern system needs. None of this surprises a Kendall tech. It is the baseline.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Kendall Services
The three jobs Kendall homeowners call about most are broken ACs, heat pump upgrades, and furnaces that fail in the cool months. Each has its own page because each involves different parts of the system and different decisions for homeowners.
AC Repair in Kendall
When a Kendall AC stops cooling in the middle of a humid afternoon, the first question is whether it is a capacitor, a contactor, a refrigerant leak, or a clogged coil. On older Kendall homes, the age of the evaporator coil often decides repair versus replacement. If the coil is rotted from years of high-humidity operation, a patch job will not hold. If it is a start capacitor, we can have the system running within the hour. We stock common parts for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, and other major brands on our trucks, so most repairs happen in one trip. Get the full breakdown on our AC Repair in Kendall page.
Heat Pump Installation in Kendall
Kendall’s climate makes a heat pump a strong choice: one system handles cooling for most of the year and heat for the few nights the temperature dips. The challenge comes from the building, not the weather. Older Kendall homes were designed with smaller ducts, and a proper installation includes measuring static pressure and airflow before anyone sizes the unit. We then write you a fixed price and set the install date. No same-day pressure, no load-calc guesswork. More on what installation covers: Heat Pump Installation in Kendall.
Furnace Repair in Kendall
Furnaces in Kendall run infrequently, and that is its own kind of problem. Control boards corrode from disuse and salt air; burners rust; igniters crack from accumulated dust and moisture. The most common call we get is a furnace that will not light on the first genuinely cold night. We carry igniters, flame sensors, and pressure switches for the major brands, so most Kendall furnace repairs finish the same day. If your system is beyond saving, we will say so plainly. Details and pricing are on our Furnace Repair in Kendall page.

AfterPricing for HVAC Company in Kendall, FL
These are the ranges Kendall homeowners typically see with us. The price is written down before work begins, so the number we quote is the number you pay.
| Service | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|

| Furnace repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Seasonal tune-up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a Kendall repair higher is corrosion: a condenser so pitted from salt exposure it must be replaced, or a coil so saturated with mold and rust that cleaning no longer helps. Lower-end jobs are usually electrical, a capacitor or a contactor. We give you the written price before any work starts, so there are no surprises at the door.
