AC Installation in Rancho Mirage
Service from Magnesia Falls to Thunderbird Heights
DMD Mechanical provides AC installation in Rancho Mirage with careful design, clean workmanship, and clear communication from start to finish. Whether you’re near The River, Eisenhower Health, or Sunnylands, we’ll size the right two-stage or variable-speed system and set up controls so comfort feels even through long summer afternoons.
🌵Comfort Built For Desert Living
Variable-speed and two-stage options that feel better day to day
Older systems tend to blast, shut off, and repeat. Today’s two-stage and variable-speed equipment modulates output to match demand—great for steady temperatures, lower noise, and fewer hot rooms in Magnesia Falls Cove, Thunderbird Heights, and Tamarisk. We’ll walk through options and show side-by-side differences so you can choose with confidence.
Why Families Trust DMD
What We Install & Replace
AC and heat pump upgrades with the details that matter
If your unit is aging, short cycling, or costly to run, we’ll review AC installation paths and explain when a like-for-like makes sense versus a heat pump conversion. Many homeowners choose heat pump installation for efficient cooling and comfortable shoulder-season heating, especially in tight homes where steady airflow makes a noticeable difference.
SEER2, Refrigerant & Future-Ready Choices
Installed with tomorrow in mind
Your quote outlines efficiency ratings, updated SEER2 standards, and refrigerant guidance being phased in across the industry. We’ll explain how those changes affect performance, service, and long-term ownership so your system is a smart fit for the years ahead.
Ductwork & Airflow Checks
Right size, right air, right result
A great system can’t overcome poor airflow. Before installation, we:
- Run a load calculation for capacity and comfort
- Inspect ducts for leaks and confirm static pressure
- Verify return air and balance to help even out warm rooms
- Set up thermostat placement and controls for real-world use
These steps help deliver quieter operation and consistent temperatures from one room to the next.
Breathe Easier While You Upgrade
Whole-home IAQ that pairs with new equipment
Rancho Mirage wind and seasonal smoke can leave indoor air feeling dusty. Many homeowners add indoor air quality upgrades during installation—like a 4-inch filter cabinet or in-duct purification—to reduce particulates and everyday odors while protecting coil cleanliness and performance.
Additional Services For Rancho Mirage
Repairs, replacements, and tune-ups when you need them
If you’re deciding between one more fix and a full upgrade, we can compare repair costs to a modern system and outline timing that won’t leave you without cooling. After installation, we recommend seasonal maintenance to keep efficiency strong and comfort steady.

These guys are pretty amazing! We had other companies come by and were never able to fix the issue. We called they came, very impressed how quick they were to take the time to repair an older unit, and were fair on their pricing.
Rare to find high quality these days, highly recommended!
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.
Lee A.
DMD Mechanical came out the same day to fix our AC unit that wasn't working. Nick figured out the problem and had it fixed in an hour. Very reasonable pricing too. We've used DMD Mech for 10 years now and are always happy with the service.

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.

I was referred to DMD by family. They were prompt, efficient and experienced at the time of consult/quote. They installed a whole new HVAC system effortlessly and in a very timely manner. They were professional, clean, and personable. I will continue to be a loyal DMD customer. It's a piece of mind to know I can include DMD Mechanical in my "rolodex."
Dennis R.
Dan and company are first and foremost concerned about fixing a problem rather than selling equipment. Honesty and integrity is a hallmark with DMD
Jeff J.
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!
Sara C.

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.

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! 😊.

Our home's main AC unit wasn't maintaining temperature overnight. Contacted Dan at DMD in the morning, service tech arrived two hours later, found the problem and system was restored. Living in La Quinta, CA with temps consistently over 115 degrees, a functioning AC system is critical and as always DMD responded immediately.

Great Family owned AC/Heating. If you're tired of the big "Up-sell" and impersonal companies, this is the solution. I highly recommend them....Great service and reasonable prices....
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.
Brett W.
I called before 6am and they called back within an hour and had my AC running again within a few hours, ahead of their expected schedule. Extremely attentive, professional and transparent. They have a new customer in La Quinta!

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.

Rancho Mirage AC & Heat Pump Answers
How long does installation take?
Most replacements are completed in one day, including haul-away, startup, testing, and a homeowner walkthrough.
Are there rebates for new systems?
We’ll review current utility or manufacturer offers and include them with your written estimate.
Two-stage vs. variable-speed—what’s right for me?
Two-stage delivers a major comfort upgrade at a friendly price; variable-speed provides the most even temps and quietest operation. We’ll show side-by-side comparisons.
Do you check ducts before installing?
Yes. We evaluate static pressure, return air, and leakage so the new system can perform as designed.
Can I add IAQ during installation?
Yes. Many homeowners bundle filtration and in-duct purification with the new system for cleaner air and better long-term performance.
