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.

I’ve been working with Hydes since I bought my condo, they have never done me wrong. I will always use there service.
Rueben from Hydes was very courteous and thorough with his work as everyone from Hyde's always are !
Great job!
Well done. The culmination of a job that was handled with professionalism, promptness, & precision. Thanks to all that were involved.
Amador was able to get my mini split going again, and to advise me of signs to watch for to indicate a need for a special cleaning down the road. I appreciate the reprieve that his knowledge gave me!
Very Happy with Service
Ruben was very efficient and very professional, and very customer friendly
Excellent service.
I highly recommend Hyde’s for A/C installation, maintenance and repair. Have been customers for years and trust their work.
Great job.
Great service
Excellent HVAC experience. Thanks Brandon for the extra care you took to come back and deliver to us the correct size air filter (which you don't normally keep on hand).
Professional service
Ruben took care in service to our system. Very courteous and knowledgeable.
Brandon did an excellent job of showing and demonstrating repair and communicated very clearly on our system status. Brandon was very professional and pleasant to work with.
Brandon was very efficient and explained what he did after completing the service. Assured us the unit was in good shape and should continue to work for us as long as maintenance is continued.
Great company and service is reliable
Danny did such a great job inspecting my A/C system and ruling out all potential issues!!!
Danny was great, consistent with all of our Hyde’s representatives we have encountered.
Very knowledgeable and thorough.
Maurice was very professional, put booties on to protect our floor, reviewed how the remote works and showed how to clean the filters. He determined that all that was needed was a complimentary call for a one year old ductless unit and not an annual service for our main AC, confirmed that with the office, and left without requiring g payment for the 5-10 minute visit.
The crew was on time, very friendly, and explained the installation process to me. Chris and Issy were professional and efficient. Overall Hydes is a 5 Star operation.
Miguel arrived within the window given - was courteous, explaining what he was going to do and proceeded to do the work. He informed me that I needed to replace the capacitor - and backed it up with performance data. I like that the entire service history is available and feel more peace of mind as we rely heavily on our A/C here in the CV valley!
Thank you for the great and thorough review Karola. We often joke that we think everyone in the Coachella Valley would want to be best friends with their HVAC company because its really something you can't live without here. We are so happy to hear that Miguel did a good job showing the value of his work and we will of course be here when you need us.
Christopher was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, efficient and explained things clearly. He also pointed out and changed filters that I know had never been changed (in my 5 seasons here) as a previous company was not very thorough and I didn’t know they existed.
Thank you for the awesome review!
As always, the techs that show up from Hydes are always great and Ruben is no exception. He did great,
Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and clean AC Service. Thanks.
James was most helpful in resolving my scheduling issues!!! Thank you James!!!
