High-Efficiency Heat Pump Installation
Quiet, Efficient Comfort Built for Desert Living
When summer heat bears down on El Paseo, La Quinta Cove, Magnesia Falls, and PGA West, the right system makes all the difference. DMD Mechanical Inc. installs two-stage and variable-speed heat pumps sized for your home in Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, and Palm Springs. From first walkthrough to final test, our team delivers clear recommendations and a clean, careful installation so your home stays comfortable all year.
Why Variable-Speed Works In The Desert
Steadier temps, lower noise, better bills
Single-speed equipment tends to blast and coast - comfortable one minute, stuffy the next. Variable-speed and two-stage systems modulate output to match the day’s conditions, which helps maintain even temperatures, reduce hot/cold spots, and cut sound levels during long cooling seasons. You’ll notice the difference during shoulder months and on hot, still evenings in Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells.
Brands & Choices You Can Trust
Rheem and Ruud heat pumps with real-world benefits
DMD Mechanical installs Rheem and Ruud systems because they deliver reliable performance and strong efficiency across Coachella Valley conditions, including the 115°F days that push equipment the hardest. We’ll help you decide between two-stage and variable-speed operation, and we also offer ductless options for additions or rooms that are tough to cool.
Right-Sizing & Airflow Matter
How we design the best result
- Load calculation to match the system to your home’s size and construction
- Duct evaluation for leaks, static pressure, and proper return air
- Air balancing to help fix warm rooms and improve overall comfort
- Thermostat placement and controls to support modulation and energy use
A great system needs healthy airflow. We address both before installation so performance aligns with expectations.
What To Expect On Install Day
A smooth, respectful process from start to finish
Expect clear arrival windows, floor and work-area protection, safe removal and disposal of old equipment, code/permit compliance, and a thorough startup. We confirm airflow, refrigerant charge, and controls, then walk through settings so you’re comfortable running your new system. Before we leave, we’ll recommend a first service date and show you easy care steps to keep everything running right. For long-term reliability, schedule
heat pump maintenance to protect efficiency through peak season.
SEER2 & 2025 Refrigerant Update
Installing with tomorrow in mind
Today’s equipment follows SEER2 efficiency standards and updated refrigerant guidelines coming into effect across the industry. DMD Mechanical reviews these details during your quote so you understand performance, future service considerations, and the benefits of choosing a modern, lower-impact system today.
Add Clean Air While You Upgrade
Pair comfort with whole-home air improvements
Installation day is the best time to integrate filtration and in-duct purification so airflow and air quality work together. A filter cabinet sized for 4-inch media and an in-duct purifier help reduce dust and everyday odors across the whole home, useful during wind events and wildfire season. If you want a deeper overview, explore indoor air quality options that fit your system plan.

Rebates & Payment Options
Honest pricing with ways to save
We’ll outline current utility or manufacturer rebates and payment options during your estimate. Your proposal will include system details, efficiency ratings, and a clear breakdown so you can compare choices side by side.
Planning Your Heat Pump Upgrade
Two-stage vs. variable-speed—what’s the difference?
Two-stage systems have high and low steps to match mild and hot conditions. Variable-speed modulates continuously for the most even temperatures and quiet operation.
Will a heat pump work on the hottest day of the year?
Yes. When properly sized and installed with healthy airflow, modern heat pumps maintain comfort through Coachella Valley heat.
Do you install ductless units?
Yes! Ductless is a strong solution for additions, converted garages, or rooms that are tough to cool.
What rebates are available?
Rebates vary by utility and equipment. We’ll review current offers from the manufacturer and include them with your written quote.
What’s the typical install time?
Most replacements are completed in one day, including haul-away, startup, testing, and homeowner walkthrough.

The service technician was on time, he was so friendly and explained the entire system to me. I asked many questions. He was able to explain it all very easily and clearly. I felt like this was so excellent company to work with.
Ted C.
Upgraded a pair of single stage, builder-grade, split systems. DMD provided a range of clear and concise estimates for evaluating cost / comfort options. The bedroom and living area systems had separate and distinct features for maximum comfort and control. Both systems were installed and operational in less than two days and the results have been amazing. It was a pleasure working with DMD and their installation crews on my project.
Andy L.
The guys showed up immediately when I called and were there when promised and were extremely polite and knowledgeable got right to work and did a great job and left the house as if they were never here. I use them for my bi-yearly maintenance as well.
I would highly recommend this family owned business for all you A/C needs.

DMD Mechanical is our go to for all AC/HVAC. They never try to upsell and have told us we don't need what the competitors told us we needed. They have saved us time and money over the past 10 years. They alerted us to IID rebates to offset a recent purchase that we knew we needed and were putting off. Whether you need routine service or an evaluation on your current system or replacement of a system we strongly recommend DMD. Family owned business, honest, knowledgable and reputable. Thanks to Dan, Daniel and Nick.

Amazing customer service! I had a home warranty take 8 hours to schedule appointment during emergency when my air went out. And then 48 hours to get an appointment. I had to get my 3 dogs and child into hotel and whole event was so stressful. Dan got back to me immediately. He then helped me and gave suggestions and appointment within 24 hours. He came highly recommended from my friend and a breath of fresh air to have an honest, hard working, transparent air company. Nick showed up and such a positive attitude today! He was friendly, hard working, and knowledgeable. I am going to cancel the home warranty company and so thankful ! I highly recommend using! 😊.

DMD Mechanical was very responsive when we had our AC go out in La Quinta during the first real heat wave of the year. They got someone out right away to inspect the system and advise us. We chose to replace instead of attempting to repair a unit that was over 10 years old. They got the new system in and installed in just a few days. I highly recommend DMD Mechanical!

Javier L.
I own a short term rental in the area. My A/C broke down the day before guests were scheduled to check in. The house was very very hot. I found Dan online and told him my situation. He was able to replace my A/C that night and the house perfectly cool for guest check in. I highly recommend DMD for any HVAC service.
Mike W.
True professionals. Clean, Efficient and Fair. Highly recommend!
Karen P.
I met the owner and his son in line at a local restaurant. They were wearing t-shirts that advertised their business, and I hired them on the spot. That was 6 years ago, and they've been servicing my A/C units every year. They are family-owned, and really do great work at affordable pricing.
Lisa B.
Recently my air-conditioning unit stopped working. I called Dan at DMD and he had someone out that day to check it out. After they confirmed the issue, Dan had people ready to fix it the next day. During the whole issue, Dan and the men he sent were communicative, responsive, professional and friendly. I never felt unsafe with any of these men in my home. After repairing my air conditioning, Dan and Colten checked to make sure that everything was working well. Dan even checked again a few days later. I am completely satisfied with the work done by DMD. I highly recommend this company. Very honest. Very friendly. Very professional.
Rose J.

The DMD Mechanical service tech showed up on time for a scheduled seasonal cleaning of the outdoor condenser unit of my AC system to insure that it would continue to work efficiently, and also inspected the indoor filters while he was here.

Daniel R.
Nick was our technician and Daniel (the owner) came out to take a look at my mothers very old non functional Air system. Gave us an honest assessment and got it up and running after just a couple of hours. Only charge a small fee and gave us some reasonable estimates for a soon needed replacement. This was after a couple much larger companies gave outrageous quotes for replacement.
This company is honest and reliable and want to ensure you get a working system for a price you can afford. They’re local to the desert and don’t have any gimmicks to try and upscale you.
Great people to work with and they have earned a customer for life.
Kevin R.
We had a recent experience with another company that felt like a sales call. Dan & Daniel couldn’t have been more professional. They had both of our air conditioning units working in a short time at basically the rate of the service call. I would highly recommend them!
Kelly L.
Dan and his team came by later, after a VERY HOT DAY, to make sure they got a start on our system. They did not oversale and helped me to understand what I need to do to provide better maintanence, to my A/C units. They came by the next day, to ensure all was running well, and our upstairs has been very cool since then! Use them for your next A/C or heater dilemma!
Tara S.
Honest, fair, and reliable A++++
Rick O.
DMD did a great job installing a new AC unit for us. Dan and his son responded immediately to analyze the problem with our 21 year old system. They recommended a replacement unit which was installed within two days. Dan and son Daniel checked every element of the new system to make sure it was working perfectly. I highly recommend DMD. We are extremely satisfied with the quality, price, and performance of the new system.
