emergency HVAC service Riverside

When the summer heat arrives in Riverside, you need an air conditioning system that works flawlessly. At Thompson Heating & Air Conditioning, we specialize in AC repair, maintenance, and installation for all makes and models. Whether your central air conditioner is blowing warm air, making strange noises, or won’t turn on at all, our certified technicians diagnose the problem quickly and provide cost-effective solutions.

We also offer expert heat pump and ductless mini-split services. Heat pumps are an energy-efficient alternative to traditional furnaces and ACs, providing both heating and cooling from one unit. Our team installs, repairs, and maintains electric, propane, and natural gas forced air systems, ensuring your home stays comfortable year-round. Ductless mini-splits are perfect for room additions, garages, or homes without existing ductwork—they offer zoned comfort and lower energy bills.

Our process begins with a thorough inspection, followed by a clear explanation of your options. We never push unnecessary repairs. Once you approve, we complete the work efficiently and cleanly, testing everything to ensure peak performance. With Thompson, you get dependable cooling and heating solutions from a team that truly cares about your comfort. Serving Riverside with pride for over 16 years.

Your home’s air quality directly impacts your family’s health and comfort. Thompson Heating & Air Conditioning offers a full range of indoor air quality solutions in Riverside to help you breathe easier and live better. From upgraded air filtration to UV lights, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and fresh air exchangers, we design systems that target pollutants, allergens, excess moisture, and stale air.

Upgraded air filtration: Standard filters capture only large particles. We install high-MERV filters and thicker media filters that trap dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and even some bacteria. The result? Cleaner air, fewer allergy symptoms, and less dust on your furniture.

Ultraviolet (UV) lights: Installed inside your ductwork, UV lights neutralize germs, viruses, bacteria, and mold spores as air passes by. This chemical-free solution reduces odors and creates a healthier indoor environment—especially beneficial for families with asthma or weakened immune systems.

Humidification and dehumidification: The right humidity level—between 30% and 50%—keeps your family comfortable and prevents problems like dry skin, static electricity, mold growth, and warped wood. We install whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers that integrate with your existing HVAC system, working automatically to maintain perfect balance year-round.

Fresh air exchangers (HRV/ERV): Modern homes are sealed tightly for energy efficiency, but that can trap indoor pollutants. Our energy-recovery ventilators bring in fresh outdoor air while exhausting stale indoor air, recovering heat or coolness so you don’t waste energy. Breathe easier knowing your home is properly ventilated.

Every IAQ solution we offer is tailored to your specific needs and budget. We’ll test your current air quality, recommend the most effective upgrades, and professionally install them with minimal disruption. Trust Thompson for cleaner, healthier air in Riverside.

Prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your HVAC system with Thompson’s professional maintenance plans. Serving Riverside homeowners, we offer annual tune-ups that include thorough inspections, cleaning, filter changes, and performance testing. Regular maintenance improves efficiency by up to 30%, lowers your energy bills, and catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Our maintenance plans are designed for convenience and peace of mind. You choose the level that fits your needs—basic tune-up, premium with priority service, or complete coverage including parts discounts. Every visit includes a 20-point checklist: checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, calibrating thermostats, inspecting condensate drains, and verifying safety controls. We also provide a detailed report with any recommended repairs, so you’re never surprised.

Smart WiFi thermostats: Take control of your home’s temperature from anywhere with a smart thermostat. We install and configure popular models like Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell. These devices learn your schedule, adjust temperatures automatically when you’re away, and provide energy usage reports. You can change settings from your smartphone, tablet, or computer—perfect for busy families or snowbirds. Many utilities offer rebates for smart thermostat installation, saving you even more.

Our technicians take the time to explain how your system works and how to get the most from it. We don’t push products you don’t need.
