Hydes Gift of Cooling History
Here at Hydes, we wanted to give back something special to our community and use our talents and resources to give to those in need that we serve in the Coachella Valley, CA area. One of the hardest things our technicians run across is when they go to a home and the homeowner has no means to replace or repair a non-functioning or failing cooling or heating system. It really hits home.
That’s why we started our Gift of Cooling Program in 2017 and will continue it yearly!
Congratulations to our 2026 Gift of Cooling recipient.
This year, as part of this program, we provided an American Standard Silver 14 four-ton complete system w/454B refrigerant to Debra G. of Indio.
Thank you for all your heartfelt nominations! We are always grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that we serve and are a part of.
“This is our 10 th annual Gift of Cooling event! Thank you for helping us help others.”

This year’s recipients were not photographed with their new AC systems and with the Hyde brothers due to COVID-19 precautions/guidelines.
We were moved by all the nominations that came in this year, which was more than the last two years combined, and wished we could have given all the nominees a new AC system.
