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 heating maintenance consisted of one carrier furnace located in the attic access. I first begin with replacing the filter in the home to ensure proper airflow is able to circulate back to the system at minimum resistance. I then made sure that the condensation line is properly draining at this time of preventative maintenance. The Honeywell thermostat is properly calling for heat and turning the unit on properly. The amps on the motor are successfully checking out in the correct range verifying a controlled voltage is being used throughout the system. All of the heating sequence of operations have successfully checked out, verifying that the flame is being ignited safely, and the home is being warm to the desired temperature as well overall this carrier furnace is operating to the manufacture specs at this time of today’s preventative heating maintenance

Frank and his crew did an absolutely amazing job! Hyde is without a doubt the best HVAC and Electrical company in the desert. The 1970’s ducting needed to be replaced because it was so brittle. After that they balanced all the runs and now every room is evenly heated or cool depending on the season. The estimate was great. We are so happy now!

The technician performed a comprehensive assessment and executed the following tasks: the existing ductwork in the bedroom system was replaced with R8 flex ducting to enhance airflow significantly. Additionally, adjustments were made to improve air circulation in two hot guest rooms. The return duct in the living area was also replaced. Furthermore, a damper was installed to alleviate airflow in the kids' room, and an 18x24 filter return grille was installed to ensure optimal air quality and efficiency.
