They don’t try and upsell while still maintaining quality service!
We always have a great experience with Hydes
Bryan was very thorough and did a great job. He was also kind and respectful.
The service once Brandon got there was good. However I let him know that I was very unhappy that he showed up just after 1pm for an 11-1 window. I believe I should have been notified that he was doing another service before mine and would be running late. Instead I was waiting at home from 11 on.
We sincerely apologize for the delayed arrival and lack of communication, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while Brandon provided you with quality service.
This was a tricky one and I was frustrated due to the heat and having returned home to the problem but Maurice stuck with its over 2 days and was able to finally solve the problem while also preparing some future potential ones.
Excellent and very well done
He came right over diagnosed the problem went to work and fixed it
We had our first maintenance service since purchasing our condo. The technicians clearly explained the condition of the unit and fully answered my questions. Very happy that we chose Hyde’s.
Brandon was courteous, professional and thorough. He explained the issues and made logical suggestions for fixes. He took his time and performed all the required work with a pleasant attitude. Really good job--a valuable asset to your service team. Thank you.
Brandon was a pro, polite, took time to answer questions, careful covering his feet and respecting property.
James was prompt thorough and knowledgeable Could not ask for more Also he sold me a 16k heat pump without even trying
He was very good knew exactly what I needed knew exactly what he had to do. Very courteous. Thank you very much
Brandon was friendly, fast and professional. Great service!

Excellent service
Made doubly sure everything was working properly. Came back day 2 just to make sure
Above and beyond
Daniel and Diego were so professional and respective of my property. They explained everything and cleaned up everything. Great guys for this project
Our AC units don't appear to automatically turn on when the temperature gets several degrees warmer than the temperature we have set. When I called to make an appointment, I specifically asked for someone who understood how electronic thermostats work. The technician who arrived admitted he didn't know much about ours (Google Nest) and after "setting back to the original" recommended we replace the units with Eco. Since this is a cool day, he said he was unable to validate that the thermostats didn't work, he basically did nothing for us. But I still have to pay $150? Doesn't pass the sniff test to us.
New system installed quickly and correctly. Everyone involved made the experience amazing
Right on time, very knowledgeable.
I have been using Hyde’s HVAC maintenance services now for several years. They have kept the entire system in running condition and systematically perform multiple checks on my system. I like them so much that I referred them to several of my friends and family!
Thank you so much for your loyalty and trust in Hyde's HVAC over the years, Kelly, and we truly appreciate you recommending our services to your friends and family. We consider your recommendation to be the highest compliment 🙂
Frank was very professional and respectful of our home and property.
Very courteous and professional. Took the time to make sure my HVAC was fully tested and serviced.
