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

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.

Today’s annual maintenance consisted of two American standard upflow units located in the garage.

I cleared both condensation lines via Jones valve, ensuring that they are properly training to the side of the house, all of the heating sequence of operation successfully, checked out safely and properly warming the home to the desired temperature and the amps on each of the American standard units are in the correct range, verifying that the units are both operating to the manufacture standards at this time of the preventative maintenance. **pre booked for may 5th Tuesday @ 3 pm**

Today’s annual maintenance consisted of one American standard package unit located on the roof. I first began with replacing the filter in the home, which ensures that there is proper airflow, circulating back to the unit at minimum restrictions, ensuring that the system is not overworking itself. I then made sure that the nest thermostat was properly calling for heat and turning the unit on. I made sure that the condensation line on the roof is properly draining to the designated drain on the roof. The temperature supply is incorrect range, ensuring that the unit is successfully marking off all of the heating sequence of operations and safely warming the home. The amps on the motor checked out and correct range on the unit overall, the American standard package unit is operating to the manufacturer standards at this time of prevent preventative maintenance. *** pre booked for next maintenance on July 20 Monday @ 9am ***

Today’s annual maintenance consisted of one American standard furnace located in the closet access I began with replacing the 20 x 25 filter to ensure proper air circulation is returning back to the unit at minimum restrictions which is allowing this system to operate to its full potential I then checked the amps on the unit to make sure everything is in the correct range. System is providing a controlled voltage at this time. I cleared the condensation line via Jones valve, ensuring that it is properly draining at this time. the HALO LED filter sensor is still in green, indicating it is still operating properly. All of the heating sequence of operation ls successfully checked out on the unit, ensuring that the home is being warmed to the desired temperature. The 1050 thermostat and the zone thermostat are properly calling for heat and turning the units on. I went ahead and replaced the sensor batteries because there was an alert on the thermostat indicating the sensor isn’t being dete
