Air Conditioning Installation in Idyllwild, CA

Air Conditioning Installation Service

According to EnergyStar “more than half of new systems in U.S. homes do not perform to their rated efficiency as a result of improper installation”, resulting in performance reductions by as much as 30%.

However within our local mountain community, there are additional factors such as altitude changes, conversion to propane, and unique building construction that make the installation process even more complex.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
It’s recommended to have your HVAC system serviced at least once a year, typically before the start of the heating or cooling season. Regular maintenance helps ensure efficient operation and prolongs the lifespan of your system.
What are the signs that my HVAC system needs repair?
Common signs include inconsistent temperature, strange noises (banging, buzzing, or rattling), poor airflow, unpleasant odors, or if the system is blowing warm air when cooling or cool air when heating. If you notice any of these, it's best to schedule a service call.
How long does an HVAC system last?
On average, an HVAC system can last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as replacing filters and cleaning coils, can extend its life.
What types of HVAC systems do you install?
We install a variety of HVAC systems, including central air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-split systems, and smart thermostats. Our team can help you choose the right system based on your home or business needs.
What is a mini-split system?
A mini-split system, also known as a ductless mini-split, is a type of HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling without the need for traditional ductwork. It consists of an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air handling units that are mounted on the wall or ceiling. Mini-splits are highly energy-efficient, easy to install, and provide precise temperature control for individual rooms or zones. They’re ideal for homes or buildings without existing ducts or for adding climate control to specific areas like home additions, garages, or basements.
