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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Arrived to install a dedicated circuit for the bathroom GFCIs. The existing GFCI circuit was overloaded, so I installed a new circuit to separate the garage outlets from the bathroom outlets. There was an unused conduit in the panel that I utilized to run the new circuit into the garage attic. From there, I routed the circuit to the outlet box in the garage that supplies power to the bathroom. I separated the bathroom circuit and connected it to the new dedicated circuit to ensure proper load distribution.

Drop warranty book
Everything went well. He was organized and answered all our questions.
Upon arrival client stated thermostat doesn’t seem calibrated and was flashing cool on. Educated client on thermostat.
Frank was not trained on the phone app or how to program thermostat controller. If he’s only doing repairs and selling units, someone else who is trained properly on the phone app and programming the thermostat should be sent for the meeting. I was showing him why to do and how to do it because of my year’s working in technology but I shouldn’t have to train your folks. Great guy and tried his best but this was not Frank’s fault.
