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.

Smart Service
Craig was very nice, but it always ends us having to spend money that I wasn’t expecting.
Very professional
Extremely Unhappy
He tried everything to fix the problem created by a Hyde’s installation with no luck.
I was very pleased with Craig’s follow up service. He was thorough in his explanation of what he did. I have been a Hyde’s customer for 10 years and always received great service from the entire company.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for being a loyal customer for the past decade, Jim. We're thrilled that Craig provided you with thorough and excellent service, and we look forward to continuing to serve you.

Excellent Service
Tech was great and efficient
Phoned to describe a problem with my AC unit - they came out the next day! Got an email with their findings, with a promise to phone discuss. Very happy with Hyde’s !
Hydes came in at 9 a.m., unloaded their stuff, got organized, and started working immediately on the installation of my new HVAC system -- in this summer heat! All techs were great. They worked with me to get the perfect results. Thank you Frank and team for the terrific experience.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review Sabryna! We're thrilled Frank and the team delivered excellent service and that you're happy with your new HVAC system. We appreciate your business and look forward to your next service.

Excellent service
Brandon was very professional and did a nice job. Explained everything real well and performed the work as needed.
Excellent service
I’m am very satisfied with the service I received. My service tech was on time, very pleasant and professional. He told me what to expect during his service and gave me a summary before he left. Your company exceeded my expectations.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, Robert, and we are thrilled to hear our technician provided excellent service and exceeded your expectations.
Even though the cost of the Lennox inverter board system was high, the service Jonathan provided, his demeanor, and professionalism trumps that.
A/C stopped working after 2 weeks of service due to a loose wire. Two days after that, the A/C stopped working again due to a different loose wire from initial service. We were without A/C for two days to get parts the first time and for two days because it happened on a weekend the second time. The tech was here half an hour after my call for the third visit. The tech, Daniel, was the same tech during the 2nd and 3rd visits. He was able to diagnose the issue quickly each time and resolve it while maintaining a positive attitude even though the loose wires were not his error. The experience with Daniel and his service rates a 5 but because of the errors made by the first tech, I rated the overall quality and experience a 3.
Brandon was courteous and seemed to be very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Over all the service was excellent.
Christopher came in. He was polite introduced himself hands-down. I feel great about all the services provided for me and my family.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback Steve! We're so glad to hear that Christopher provided excellent service for you and your family, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
Brandon Was professional, put his bootie’s on every time he entered the house. Asked many times if I questiones or concerns. Excellent!!
Wonderful! Thank you!
He did a great job.
Prompt and efficient
Ruben was great
Great service
On time and communication was excellent. System now is working. Thank you Hydes.
Fast, very knowledgeable and tested everything
Arrived quickly after email alert that he was on the way. The email and name/photo of the tech is a nice customer service touch. I am always pleased that service techs wear booties.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback about our technician's promptness and professionalism, and we're glad you appreciated the advance notification with his photo and our commitment to keeping your home clean with protective booties.
I was pleasantly surprised by the fee as well as the service we received at our home. I took advantage of the service contract, and I will absolutely recommend you guys.
We really appreciate the recommendation Steve. Thank you!
Daniel used every method he knew to clean out the condensate line. It apparently drains at this time. However, supposedly, the drain was cleaned thoroughly 3 months ago. It is my opinion that the actual drainage condition was not checked at that time. The drainage line is one inch diameter PVC and should easily be able to accommodate the two AC condensers in our garage. Daniel verified the system by using a hose to input water into the lines. There was no 3/4 PVC caps available to fully pressurize the lines.
Jonathan is a top notch professional. He analyzed the issue, researched the solution, and clearly explained why the cost is what it is.
Brian was great. He’s always professional and informative.
Knowledge and professional technician.
Professional job, excellent service
Brandon helpful with information regarding service provided
Christopher explained everything that he was going to look over and let us know if there were any issues. There were none and he let us know the system was running smoothly. Very personable and efficient.
Dependable, knowledgeable & kind
Fred was able to squeeze us in early. Diagnosis was quik but the part, not in his truck will be delivered later and fixed then. In the meantime time our lights are eorking again, manually.
Great service. Very prompt and thorough.
