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.

Error codes 177.03 , 177.04 . System was cooling at setpoint of 74° upon arrival. I went through entire electrical circuit from service panel to disconnect to condenser to compressor and made sure every connection was properly tight and secure and no damaged wires, checked refrigerant charge. Ran 5 drive tests. 2 of them I did with harness for compressor removed from drive then another where it was removed from compressor but connected to drive. Everything I tested and measured checked out to specifications per technical manual. System was shutting down after. 5 minutes for a couple startups but after putting everything back and clearing alert history it’s staying on and cooling well. Notes.

Upon arrival client stated this morning the ac had error code again. Found error codes the same as last time techs were out. Ran drive test and drive test pasted. Cycled system and checked charge, super heat was 15. Checked amps and found compressor rated for 27 amps and reading 18 amps at 100 percent. Advised client will get with management on other possible issues that could be the cause of the lock out so we can resolve issue. Previous tech had noted compressor would run over max amps and then turn off after a minute. I have not seen that issue occur while being at the job so could be intermittent issue with compressor. Advised client I will call once we get a answer from tech support.
