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.

Work Performed: unit SN*****39R2F. Living room unit • Upon arrival, the client reported intermittent cooling issues with the living room system. She stated that the unit had stopped cooling, then started again after a few hours, ran briefly, and stopped cooling once more. • Both systems were operational at time of arrival. I identified and focused on the unit the client had been experiencing issues with. • Inspected the condenser and found the system was running at maximum amperage, which led me to further investigate. • Found a failed run capacitor causing strain on the system. • Also tested the hard start kit and found it had lost its charge and was no longer functioning. • Noted that a maintenance service had been performed approximately three weeks ago. • Informed the client I would waive the trip charge and treat this as a continuation of the prior service. • Recommended and replaced both the hard start kit and the run capacitor. ⸻ System Condition Upon Completion: •

Upon arrival, found thermostat for system serial number JM5S blank. Upon further inspection, found the water safety triggered, cleared condensation line at FAU and located outside termination to verify line has been properly cleared, removed all dust and debris away from outside termination covered by bushes and also cleared through outside termination and a secondary. Thermostat now has power restored, and system is cooling and operating. Informed client if issue presents itself, may need to move to condensate pump to prevent system, shutting off due to condensation back up triggering safety switch.

Demand Service Report 4 ton 2004/ horizontal Issue Reported: Upon arrival, the client reported that their air conditioning system is taking significantly longer than usual to cool the home. Inspection and Findings: • Inspected ductwork in the attic — ductwork is outdated but still in tact. • Evaluated system performance and identified the following: • The compressor is drawing extremely high amperage. • Refrigerant levels are slightly low. • The system uses R-22 refrigerant, which has been phased out. I advised the client that adding refrigerant (if available) may further increase compressor amp draw, which could potentially lead to system failure. System Age: The system is approximately 21 years old. Recommendations: • Discussed the benefits of replacing the system due to age, inefficiency, and the discontinued refrigerant. • Also recommended zoning the house to allow for more efficient temperature control in different areas.

Response from Hydes Air Conditioning:

FACTS: 1. You are not a maintenance member (although we have recommended it in the past) 2. You called us at 6am on a Saturday to say that your unit wasn't working 3. We called back at 7am (even though we don't open until 8am) to schedule the appt 4. A NATE certified tech was at your house by 930am. 5. He went on your roof to diagnose the unit. 6. He quoted you and made the repair upon your approval. 7. You unit was working before 10am for ONLY $215 QUESTION: In what world could we possibly offer that service any cheaper?!!! Do you have any idea what it cost us to be able to answer that early morning call from our office, have a highly trained tech in a fully stocked vehicle drive to your home, climb on your roof (think CA insurance) and make that repair, and then email you a paid invoice on the spot? Yea, we will rush right over the next time you call because we can tell you really appreciate it.
