Why Homeowners Choose Duke's

Many homeowners in this area have had at least one disappointing experience with a contractor. Maybe the technician arrived late, left a mess, or pushed a replacement before explaining what was wrong. We built our company to be the opposite of that experience. When we come to your home, you see a uniformed technician who is on time, prepared, and focused on solving the problem in front of them.

We operate with a repair first philosophy. Our technicians evaluate the actual condition of your equipment, then explain what they find in plain language. If a sensible repair can restore performance, they present that option clearly. If a system is near the end of its life, they explain why and give you realistic expectations about how long it might continue to serve you before major issues return.

Our alignment as a Rheem Pro Partner keeps our team current on modern cooling systems, control boards, and energy-saving features. At the same time, we are trained to work on all major HVAC brands, from older units to newer heat pumps. This flexibility allows us to focus on what is truly best for your home, not what is best for a single manufacturer.

We also understand that inviting anyone into your home is personal. Our white glove standard means we use protective floor coverings, wear appropriate footwear, and clean up our work area before we leave. Many of our neighbors in Palm Beach Gardens mention this level of care when they talk about their experience with us. It is our way of showing respect for your space while we restore your comfort.

What To Do When Your AC Stops Cooling

Losing cooling on a hot afternoon here in Palm Beach Gardens can feel overwhelming. Before you assume the worst, there are a few simple checks you can safely perform. These steps sometimes resolve minor issues and, even when they do not, they give you helpful information to share with our dispatch team when you call.

Consider these quick checks before you call:

• Confirm your thermostat is on “cool” and set below the current room temperature.
• Check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker related to the air handler or condenser.
• Look at your air filter and replace it if it is heavily clogged.
• Listen for unusual sounds, and look for water around the indoor unit.
• Avoid opening equipment panels or trying repairs inside the unit.

If your system is blowing warm air, frequently shutting off, making new noises, or leaking water, it is time to contact a professional. When you call us, our team explains the service call fee and schedules the earliest available appointment, often the same day. We send a technician in a fully stocked service vehicle so many common repairs can be addressed in a single visit.

During your call, our dispatcher verifies your address, confirms any gate information that applies in your community, and gives you an arrival window. You receive updates as the technician is on the way so you are not left wondering when someone will show up. This communication is part of how we remove stress from an already uncomfortable situation.

How Our AC Service Visit Works

Knowing what to expect when a technician arrives can make the whole process feel more manageable. When our technician reaches your door, they introduce themselves, confirm the concerns you described on the phone, and put on protective footwear if they will be walking through your living areas. We start by listening, because your description of symptoms often points us toward the root cause.

Next, we perform a structured evaluation of your system. This may include measuring temperature differences across the coil, checking refrigerant pressures with gauges, inspecting electrical connections, and confirming that your thermostat and safety switches are operating correctly. We use diagnostic tools that help us find hidden issues, such as weak capacitors or small refrigerant leaks, that might otherwise be missed.

Once we identify the problem, we step back and explain what we found in clear, everyday language. We walk you through what is failing, what that means for the system’s performance, and what your options are. You receive straightforward pricing for each recommended repair before any work begins. If the system is older or has multiple failing components, we also discuss what you can reasonably expect from further repairs, including how long they might extend the life of your equipment.

Our technicians act as advisors, not salespeople. We present the information, answer your questions, and give you space to decide how to proceed. If you choose to move forward with a repair, we complete the work, test operation again, and tidy the workspace. When we leave, the only sign of our visit should be a cooler, more comfortable home.

Repairs, Maintenance & System Replacement

In our climate, your cooling system works hard nearly all year. It is common for homeowners in Palm Beach County to encounter frozen coils, clogged condensate drains, or outdoor units that struggle in the late afternoon heat. We handle these and many other common issues every day, always with a focus on addressing the underlying cause rather than treating only the symptom.

Regular maintenance is one of the most valuable steps you can take to protect your system in this environment. Coastal air, high humidity, and long run times can place extra stress on coils, blower motors, and electrical components. During a maintenance visit, we perform checks and cleanings designed to help your equipment run more efficiently and reduce the chance of a surprise breakdown on a hot day.

When a system is no longer a good candidate for repair, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for full replacement. During these consultations, we look at your home’s square footage, insulation, duct layout, and any indoor air quality concerns you may have. We explain how different efficiency ratings and filtration options can influence monthly utility bills and overall comfort. Our goal is to equip you with clear information so you can make a confident decision that fits both your comfort goals and your budget.

As a Rheem Pro Partner, we are trained on the latest models from a brand many homeowners recognize, yet we maintain flexibility to install other manufacturers when that is the better fit. We also offer financing options that can help spread the cost of a new system over time. This can make necessary upgrades more manageable when replacement is not something you had planned for this season.
