Recent Review

Just wanted to thank you, and especially Chris. When Chris was out at my neighbors' last Friday, I went over (at 4:45 pm) and told him my split (which your company installed) was not putting out cold AC. I admitted that I had tried to do something with the control the day before and that was very likely the problem. He said he'd be right over when he finished the job he was on.

He came over, quickly fixed my mistake, and reexplained how to work the thing. All very positively and kindly after 5 pm on a Friday. What a guy!!!! Please thank him again.

Heating and Cooling Service FAQs

How much does it cost to replace my heating and air conditioning system near Palm Desert?

The average cost of replacing an HVAC or ductless system in Palm Desert ranges from $5,000 to $20,000. The price range is determined by a variety of criteria and options, such as system type, size, energy efficiency, time of year purchased, rebates/incentives, equipment manufacturer and labor/installation costs. If you also need to replace ductwork, you can expect to pay an extra for a single-story 2,200-square-foot home.

What maintenance does an air conditioner need in Palm Desert?

The filters and coils of an air conditioner must be maintained on a regular basis in order for the unit to work properly and efficiently during the course of its service life. Ignoring required maintenance results in a gradual deterioration in air conditioning effectiveness while increasing energy consumption.

The most crucial maintenance job for ensuring the effectiveness of your air conditioner is to change or clean its filters on a regular basis. The coils of an air conditioner naturally accumulate dirt over time. A clean filter keeps the coils from becoming too dirty to effectively cool your home. Regular maintenance ensures the filters and coils are clean and performing correctly.

How much does AC repair cost near Palm Desert?

The average household pays between $250 and $600 for AC repair. Pricing for this project varies considerably depending on the issue, part, and complexity of the project. Repairing a malfunctioning thermostat, for example, is likely to be less expensive than repairing a central AC system.

What are the benefits of a heat pump near Palm Desert?

Some advantages of installing a heat pump include being able to cool and heat your home (one unit), consuming less energy by being more efficient than a central AC unit and enhancing your indoor air quality.

How much does an indoor air quality test cost?

On average, indoor air quality testing costs between $250 and $300. Indoor air quality testing may detect the presence of numerous pollutants in your home’s air, such as mold and mildew. Contaminants from chemicals and combustion may also be tested for.

Tried to find a way to run the new 20 amp circuit through the attic but we were blocked off about halfway to our pop out location. After further investigation we discovered a conduit that runs into the garage that has existing wire in it. We used one of the wires to pull our new circuit and were able to get it into the garage. We popped out the back of the garage and ran the mini split circuit in emt to the designated location.

Upon arrival could hear the sound of system operating while on a little loud in guest bed room which is right underneath Unit. checked out all electrical components as well as did a temp split. Both are within range and system is cooling down. The house properly found noise level increase is coming from compressor, which is working above specifications. This is due to the age and condition of unit system is a R 22, which is past life expectancy. Best option would be to replace unit. hard start kit does not make noise level go away nor did it help system operations tried to call homeowner to inform about finding no answer. Will have management teams send estimate for a new system. See videos and pictures.

Hydes has completed at least two electrical jobs for me and I have been very satisfied with communication and work completed. Everything I cook on my new electric stove tastes better and I am sure Hydes is responsible. On the HVAC front, I have paid a fair price for two new systems over the years as well as a split. Jobs are completed as predicted, fairly priced. Workers clean up after the job. If there is an issue, it is resolved promptly.
