Thor, son-in-law of Barry Hyde, is one of our installers and has worked for Hydes for four years. His favorite part of the job is that it’s hands-on and he gets to meet new people on a daily basis. When Thor is not installing new AC systems, he enjoys skateboarding and listening to music. Lastly, he would like to remind customers to trust Hydes. “We’re family and family always has your back,” he said.

Review of Hydes Air Conditioning
Thank your for your help Thor! Your knowledge of the ins and outs of heating/air conditioning etc is incredible and your ability to take that knowledge and put it to use in the real world/hands on/get the job done right etc and not being afraid to "dive in and get dirty" so to speak to make sure everyting is done right/safe etc is very refreshing to see. Many people tell me how good their HVAC company is since they showed up early, their truck was clean, their tool box was shiny, their uniform was pressed, used proper language etc and when I ask them why they keep coming back all the time since their HVAC systems are not working properly they reply that they are so nice etc...I tell them to call Hydes and get it done right the first time with the knowledge/service to back it up(which their companies do not appear to have) plus they have real tools in their tool boxes that they know how how to use them-along with the clean trucks, nice people etc which is also important. Thank you Thor and Hydes!!!

Also recommended surge protection to protect ac system components, compressor, and whole home surge protection would protect all electronics in the house.

Homeowner wanted to know if his pleated filter was ok and about which filters, he has a pleated 24x30 and keeps up with changing filters so I said that would be good, if he has airflow concerns or allergens/dust then using a thinner filter with an indoor air purification system on the hvac equipment to help.
