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 in Palm Desert?

Here are some advantages of installing a heat pump:

  1. They consume less energy. Heat pumps use a different technique from standard heaters to reduce your home's energy use and lower your monthly expenses.
  2. They enhance the quality of your indoor air. Heat pumps circulate and mix outside air with inside air, resulting in better indoor air quality.
  3. They supply your home with balanced, consistent warmth. Heat pumps, as opposed to standard HVAC equipment, generate a more pleasant environment within the home.
How much does an indoor air quality test cost near Palm Desert?

On average, indoor air quality testing costs between $250 and $300. You can expect to pay about $295 for mold and moisture testing and $135 to $150 for radon testing. You may be able to get these services at a discount if you combine them with a more complete house inspection report.

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.

Performed cooling maintenance on 2019 Trane 5-ton split system. Homeowner just changed 20x30 ceiling filter. Tempstar thermostat working properly. Cleared condensation drains from attic. Capped secondary, recommended adding a water overflow float switch and water pan as current one was old smaller pan left over from system replacement as it had the old pvc connections on it. These will help prevent significant water damage if drains backup in attic . Checked amps, volts, capacitors, refrigerant charge and temp split. Found system cooling the home well but refrigerant numbers indicate low on charge and warm suction line and low subcool could lead to system overheating. Recommended and signed up on Hyde’s maintenance plan and added 1 lbs of refrigerant. System is cooling properly now. Sending quotes for float switch and water pan. Will follow up with quotes for ducting replacement versus repair/sealing. Recommended looking at full system duct replacement into fall/winter for promotions.

Upon further inspection, we also identified that the humidifier was functioning without any significant issues. However, there was no low voltage detected on terminals Y1 and Y2 at the condenser, which resulted in the unit being non-operational. We implemented a temporary repair to restore functionality and have prepared a quotation for the installation of new low voltage wiring to ensure sustained operation.

Upon arrival, turn system onto cool, but only blower motor and condenser fan would operate compressor would not. With further inspection I discovered system had a weak run capacitor. Installed new capacitor and compressor still would not start. Temporary installed start capacitor and compressor would operate. Removed start capacitor and install installed original weak capacitor. System is now operating, but may run the risk of damaging the compressor or the compressor not starting again without new capacitor and start kit. Client is talking to warranty company.
