Improper HVAC installations can waste up to 30% of your energy. Good thing we don’t do anything improper around here.
Ac repair guy in La Quinta checking out the outside air conditioner to diagnose and issue.

I called KC 23 1/2 Hour Plumbing as the AC unit stopped blowing cold air on the first 90+ degree day of the season. They were very responsive, and Robert came out the next day. He was professional and walked my Mom and me through the complete process of checking out the system, diagnosing what was wrong, providing options on the repair solutions, and then quickly fixing the issues. In our case, the outdoor unit had gotten very dirty and we were low on refrigerant which Robert promptly fixed. Great service!

High-efficiency AC upgrades built for La Quinta living

If your system’s 10+ years old, you’re likely paying more than you should on your monthly energy bill.

Is air duct cleaning necessary in La Quinta?

How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?

Every 2-3 years is common for most locations, but here in La Quinta, where dust and debris can be quite rampant, annual service would be the most ideal way to go.
