AC Maintenance
AC Maintenance is the scheduled inspection and cleaning that keeps your system from failing during a Henderson heat wave. We recommend it once a year, ideally in spring before the first triple-digit stretch hits Green Valley and Anthem, following our AC Repair Maintenance Checklist for Henderson Homeowners. During a maintenance visit, our technicians check refrigerant levels, clean the condenser coil, test the capacitor, inspect the condensate drain, and measure the temperature drop across the evaporator coil. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson charges $80 to $200 for a complete tune-up, and every visit includes a written report of what we found and what we fixed.
What a Tune-Up Includes
We start with the condenser outside: coil cleaning, fin inspection, and amp draw on the compressor and fan motor. Then we move inside to the evaporator, blower, and filter. If we find a failing capacitor or a refrigerant leak starting, we’ll show you the reading and give you the repair price in writing before doing anything else.
Why Annual Service Pays for Itself
A neglected system runs harder, uses more electricity, and fails at the worst possible time. In Sunrise Manor and Whitney, where many homes run AC from May through October, a $150 tune-up in April prevents a $500 repair in August. Systems that are maintained also last longer, which matters when a new install runs $3,500 to $7,500.
AC Service
AC Service is the umbrella term for any diagnostic, repair, or maintenance work performed on your cooling system. When homeowners in Henderson call us for our AC Repair in Henderson, they’re usually describing one of three situations: the system isn’t cooling, it’s making a noise it shouldn’t, or it’s cycling on and off too often. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson handles all of it. A diagnostic service call comes with a written price for the repair before we turn a single screw, and the repair itself is guaranteed in writing for a full year.
Diagnostic Calls
When you call (775) 593-7060 with a cooling problem, we schedule a diagnostic visit. The technician tests the electrical components, checks refrigerant pressures, and traces the airflow. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long it will take, all before we start.
Repair Visits
Most repair visits in Henderson are completed same-day because our trucks carry common parts for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman systems. If a part isn’t on the truck, we order it and return as soon as it arrives. The price we quote is the price you pay, even if the job takes longer than expected.
AC Unit Repair
AC Unit Repair means fixing the physical equipment itself: the condenser outside, the air handler or furnace inside, and everything that connects them. In Henderson, where dust and heat put real stress on outdoor units, we regularly repair compressor failures, fan motor failures, and refrigerant leaks. Most AC unit repairs run $150 to $650, though a failed compressor can push higher depending on system size and warranty status. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson gives you the exact number in writing after diagnosis, no exceptions.
Condenser Repairs
The condenser is the outdoor unit, and it takes the brunt of Henderson’s sun and dust. Common failures include the fan motor, the contactor, and the capacitor. We test each component with a multimeter, identify the failed part, and replace it with an OEM or equivalent part rated for the load.
Air Handler Repairs
Inside the house, the air handler moves conditioned air through your ducts. A failing blower motor or a cracked evaporator coil will reduce airflow and leave rooms hot. In Paradise and Winchester, where many homes have original ductwork from the 1990s or earlier, we check static pressure to confirm the air handler is matched to the ductwork before condemning any component.
AC Capacitor Replacement
AC Capacitor Replacement is one of the most common repairs we perform in Henderson, and it’s also one of the least expensive, typically $150 to $350 installed. The capacitor is the small cylinder inside the condenser that gives the compressor and fan motor the starting jolt they need. When it fails, you’ll hear a humming sound from the outdoor unit but the fan won’t spin. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson keeps capacitors for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem systems on the truck, so this repair is almost always completed same-day.
Warning Signs of a Weak Capacitor
A capacitor doesn’t usually fail all at once. It weakens over time, which means the compressor struggles to start, the system draws more amps, and your electric bill climbs. If your outdoor unit hums for a few seconds before starting, or if it trips the breaker on hot afternoons, the capacitor is a likely suspect.
Why We Test, Not Guess
A weak capacitor can still test within spec on a cool morning and fail by 3 p.m. when the condenser is heat-soaked. Our technicians test capacitance under load and compare it against the manufacturer’s rating printed on the side of the part. If it’s more than 10% out of spec, we recommend replacement and show you the reading before you approve the repair.
AC Recharge
AC Recharge means adding refrigerant to a system that has lost some of its cooling fluid. In Henderson, where systems run hard for months at a time, low refrigerant is a common cause of warm air and frozen evaporator coils. But here’s the thing: refrigerant doesn’t get used up. If your system is low, there’s a leak somewhere, and simply adding refrigerant without finding the leak is a temporary patch. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson charges $150 to $450 for a recharge that includes leak detection, and the repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Finding the Leak
We use an electronic leak detector and, when needed, a UV dye injection to locate the exact point where refrigerant is escaping. Common locations in Henderson systems include braze joints at the condenser, the Schrader valve cores, and the evaporator coil inside the air handler. We fix the leak first, then recharge the system to the manufacturer’s specified weight, not a guess.
Why Correct Charge Matters
An overcharged system runs hot and shortens compressor life. An undercharged one freezes the coil and starves the compressor of oil. Both conditions destroy equipment. Our technicians weigh in refrigerant with a digital scale and verify the subcooling reading against the manufacturer’s chart, which is the only way to get it right.
Emergency AC Repair
Emergency AC Repair in Henderson means exactly that: your system is down, the house is climbing past 85 degrees, and someone needs to show up now. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson answers calls live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call (775) 593-7060, you’ll talk to a person who can dispatch a technician that same day or night. Emergency repair visits carry no overtime surcharge, and the price is still in writing before any work begins.
When to Call After Hours
If the indoor temperature is above 90 degrees and someone in the house is elderly, pregnant, or has a respiratory condition, that’s an emergency. Heat exhaustion is a real risk in Henderson from June through September, and a failed AC is not something to sleep through. Call us. We’ll come out.
What to Expect on an Emergency Call
A technician arrives in a stocked van with common parts for the brands we service. They diagnose the failure, quote the repair in writing, and complete it on the spot if parts are on board. If your system can’t be repaired that night because a part is on order, we’ll tell you straight and help you arrange temporary cooling.
AC Not Blowing Cold Air
AC Not Blowing Cold Air is the most common complaint we hear from Henderson homeowners between May and October. The causes run the gamut: a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a failed capacitor, a refrigerant leak, a clogged condensate drain, or a failing compressor. Dalton Heating & Air Henderson diagnoses the exact cause with a full system check, and most repairs land in the $150 to $650 range. The diagnosis fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the work.
Quick Checks Before You Call
Check the air filter first. A clogged filter starves the evaporator coil of airflow and can freeze the coil solid, which blocks cooling entirely. Check the thermostat batteries and the circuit breaker for the condenser. If all three are fine and the system still isn’t cooling, that’s when you call us.
Common Causes We Find in Henderson
In Southern Highlands and Enterprise, where many systems are 10 to 15 years old, we regularly find capacitors out of spec, contactors with burned contacts, and evaporator coils with slow refrigerant leaks. We don’t guess. We test every component, confirm the diagnosis, and give you the repair price in writing.

We’re factory-trained to service Carrier equipment, which means we know the Infinity control systems, the compressor design quirks, and the common failure points specific to that brand. When a Carrier unit in Anthem acts up, we diagnose it quickly because we’ve seen hundreds of the same model. We keep OEM Carrier parts on our trucks and order from the manufacturer when we need something unusual.
We carry the same depth of experience with Trane, Lennox, and Goodman. Trane systems have specific refrigerant charge requirements that change with line-set length, and we verify subcooling against the factory chart every time. Lennox evaporator coils have known leak-prone areas we check as a matter of course. Goodman units are common across Henderson and AC Repair in Boulder City, and we keep their capacitors, contactors, and fan motors stocked. Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Warm air blowing from the vents. If the system runs but the air isn’t cold, you may have a refrigerant leak or a failed compressor. Both get worse the longer they run unaddressed, and a compressor failure can turn a $300 repair into a $4,000 replacement.
- Ice on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines. Ice means the coil is starved for airflow or refrigerant is low. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor by slugging it with liquid refrigerant, so shut the system off and call us.
- Humming or clicking from the outdoor unit. A humming condenser that won’t start usually means a failed capacitor. The compressor is trying to start and can’t, which overheats the windings. Every failed start attempt shortens the compressor’s life.
- Water pooling around the air handler. A clogged condensate drain will back up and spill water, which can damage drywall and flooring in addition to shutting down the system. The fix is quick and inexpensive, but the water damage from ignoring it is not.
- Electrical burning smell or tripped breakers. A burning smell means a component is overheating, often a failing motor or a shorted wire. A breaker that trips once and resets is a warning; a breaker that trips repeatedly is a fire hazard. Shut the system off at the thermostat and breaker, and call us.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
You call, a person answers. At any hour, dial (775) 593-7060 and you’ll speak to a live dispatcher, not an automated system. We take your address, ask what the system is doing, and schedule a technician inside a specific arrival window.
- 2
The technician arrives on time. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and drive marked vans stocked with common parts and diagnostic tools. You’ll know who is coming before they arrive, and they’ll show up inside the window we gave you.
- 3
We diagnose and quote in writing. The technician tests the electrical components, checks refrigerant pressures with manifold gauges, and measures airflow and temperature drop. Then they give you a written price for the repair and explain what failed and why. No work starts until you approve it.
- 4
We complete the repair and test it. The repair is done by the book, using manufacturer torque specs and proper charging procedures. After the fix, we run the system through a full cooling cycle and verify the temperature split across the coil meets spec. We don’t leave until the system is cooling.
- 5
You get the guarantee in writing. Every repair is guaranteed in writing for 365 days. If the same failure recurs within that year, we return at no charge. That guarantee is part of The Garrison Standard, included on every job, not sold as an add-on.
How Much Does AC Repair Cost in Henderson?
Most AC repairs in Henderson run $150 to $650 depending on the failed part and the complexity of the job. A capacitor replacement typically falls between $150 and $350 including the part and labor. A refrigerant recharge with leak detection runs $150 to $450. A blower motor replacement usually lands in the $400 to $650 range. A failed compressor is the outlier: depending on system size, age, and warranty coverage, that can push from $1,500 toward $3,000 or more, which is when repair-versus-replace math comes into play.
What affects the price? System brand, part availability, and access to the equipment. A Goodman condenser in Whitney with clear access is faster and cheaper to repair than a Trane unit on a sloped roof in Sun City Anthem. The age of the system matters too: older units using R-22 refrigerant pay a premium for the remaining supply of that refrigerant, and at some point replacement becomes the smarter play. You can avoid overpaying by getting a written price before work begins, which is standard practice at Dalton Heating & Air Henderson, not an option. Our free estimates are exactly that: free, with no obligation and no pressure. The price we quote is the price you pay, guaranteed in writing.
