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.

Polite, professional and efficient
Very knowledgeable, on time and friendly
Very polite and eager to listen to your concerns
...after 18 years with Hydes, & several thousands of dollars invested in a wonderfully new & innovative HVAC system, along with the utmost satisfaction with their awesome service for those 18 years, this incident provided a sense of disappointment. The system works beautifully....but it was the water heater that provided this concern.....it was offered "free" for purchasing their system, most appreciated, but when that water heater, after only 3 months in use, encountered a concerning problem in functioning well, the owner obviously made the decision to not repair it, and from a business point of view because it was a different brand & out of their professional "plumbing" expertise & perhaps, expensive to fix, they left it up to me. I felt a little deserted, after my 18 years of appreciating their excellent service...and I will continue with their normal service routine, as they are outstanding in that regard....Thor Jonasson & Greg Defontes, my Techs for those 18 years, were simply the best at their jobs. Perhaps, I am just too sensitive. Life goes forward..but, again, I am a little disappointed. I am OVER it. BTW they did NOT charge for their visit to check out my problem; promised referrals, never materialized. They are quite busy, & historically, most concerned with their clients.
Hi Dennis, we’re very sorry you’re experiencing an issue with your new water heater. We sent a technician out to confirm the problem, and once it was verified, we referred you to the manufacturer since the unit is still under warranty. The manufacturer will need to send their authorized warranty technician to further diagnose the issue and handle the repair or replacement. This isn’t us trying to pass the buck—it’s the fastest way to make sure the warranty is honored correctly and the issue is resolved. Thank you for trusting us for nearly two decades. We truly appreciate your continued business and the opportunity to help.
Quick
Brayan Torres-Diaz was attentive and engaged with his job! He also made sure that everything was complete. An outstanding employee for an outstanding organization!
