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.

Review
Danny was the outstanding employee of the week who was thrown into a mess caused by a faulty transducer.. Thor diagnosed the problem on Monday, Sigler the distributer tripped all over themselves making excuses why they sent the wrong part then claiming they didn't have the right one which was 54 days out to getting Danny a part they thought would work. Danny happened to be a Sigler returning parts from another service and got the runaround from Sigler staff but persisted that 54 days was ridiculous and they needed to come up with another solution which meant he got a part with a different ending number that they thought would work. Danny came to my home directly from Sigler. Before doing anything he apologized for the long delay and explained all the problems and possible alternatives. He installed the part in 15 minutes, tested again to make sure it was holding and we were good to go. The Hyde family came to our rescue. Thank you.

This was a long journey for Thor and for Ann and I. It started Saturday morning December 6 when we woke up to a freezing home. Knowing we probably could not get service we hunkered down till Monday morning which Ann getting sick from cold/flu system. I called around 8 am and was told that Thor would be out between 1 and 5. I was happy because I had worked with him previously and knew he could handle the problem. After analyzing problem he said he needed to order a transducer from supplier at 7 am following morning and he would come out and install. Tuesday I waited all day no show. Wednesday was told that after waiting most of day that part would be in Thursday at Sigler the supplier. I was not on schedule for appointment. I called Harmony in office to check and was told the scheduler didn't schedule because she didn't know how I would pay but previous notice showed I had signed to order part and paid by credit card. She told me Thor would be out between 2-5 and I was the 3rd appointment. Thor came out after 5pm and installed the part which didn't work but he said he would call Sigler at 7 am even while he was off to find the right part and he would call me right after. Friday morning not call so I waited again. Around 11 am I had just called the office to request a consult with Barry Hyde when I got a call from Danny Hyde who was the backup for Thor and he was at Sigler and picked up the part and he was coming over. I will comment on Daniel's service on his satisfaction survey. Bottom line he came installed the transducer, tested unit and we were back in business. Unfortunately, this was a week long problem that Sigler handled terribly and office and scheduling department dropped the ball (what we had here was a failure to communicate) but fortunately Thor and Danny saved the day. Ann and I both appreciate having heat last night. Thank you

We had a thermostat prob which he tried to fix. He was not familiar with it, so couldn’t fix it. He tried to do what he could, but was only here briefly.
Kathleen - Palm Desert, CA 92211
Response from Hydes Air Conditioning:

Hi Kathleen — Alex was able to fix the issue by resetting the thermostat and removing the unwanted schedule. Since we didn’t install the thermostat, we don’t have the manual for setting up a new schedule, so I’d recommend looking online for a tutorial or video for your model. Let me know if you’d like help finding one.
