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.

Dan came to the appointment right on time! I told him what was going on and he said he would check the air conditioner and then let me . He said he had some good news. He was going to replace a capacitor and he thought that would work. He was absolutely right. No one ever mentioned that before, so I appreciated his honesty and he explained their program what they do and I am so glad I went with Hyde’s. A friend of mine has had them for many years and has been very satisfied!!! I really appreciated Dan’s honesty. He explained everything in detail and I couldn’t be happier. Will be working with you.‼️

We’ve been with Hyde’s since we moved to Palm Desert six years ago. We’ve always found them to be reliable and knowledgeable. They’re reasonably priced and ready to help if there’s a problem. They’ve replaced an old Airconditioning system we had when we bought the house and replaced our old duct system that had been there since our place was built three years ago. Everything is working perfectly. We love our service technician.
Thank you so much for choosing Hyde's for the past six years! We are delighted that your new air conditioning system and duct work are performing perfectly, and we will gladly pass your kind words along to your service technician.
Great service!
Jonathan great!
Excellent service
He and his apprentice did a great job rewiring ceiling fans.
The immediate response to my needs was something I experienced on the phone contact and that was a ++++ Then what sold me on this company, even before the the inspection and quote for the work to be done, was the face to face contact upon meeting their representative who came to my home. The Greetings with a smile and the No push - No rush conversation was a +++++++++ I did not get service that day but placed order for repair and equipment purchase and got all scheduled the same day.+++++
