Installation · 12.5 tons

Indian Wells, CA 92210

we changed 7 air conditioning units from 12.5 to 7 tons, this was a challenging project for the curb engineers they had to overcome supply and return placement we had it up and running in 1 day, if NASA trusted us you can also, call or text us.

Repair · 30 ton air cooled air conditioning

Indian Wells, CA

30 tons of air conditioning heat pump cooling, 2 compresors went out, 1st one and the last one was forced to cool, after some time it gave out, you can see the sludge coming out of it and screen clogged, sludge happens when compressor runs hot and moisture is introduced into system from connecting guages improperly, this system had acid and we actually came back a few times to keep changing liquid line filter and suction cartridges, but after all the work it performed well. text or call us.

Diagnostic · 10 Tons

Palm Desert, CA

this is a old system, it was completely down, its 35 years old and we revived it completely, ripped out all the old controls and put new ones, rewired system, took out a delay condensor motor and replaced it, cleaned condensing unit all the way multiple times as you can see the mud in hand coming out from being neglected, once completed we comisioned the unit and it was extremely close to manufacture specs. we revived this old beast. call or text us!

Installation · walk in cooler walk in freezer

Palm Desert, CA

2 new walk ins 1 walk in cooler 1 walk in freezer installation for this client in palm desert, long overdue, there walk in cooler wouldn't keep up with the walk in load anymore, they decided to replace both, we installed our controllers and now they are worry free for many years, with high energy efficiency, systems will modulate depending on the temperature and load, call or text us.

Why American Cool

Better Decisions Start With Better Field Information

Whether we are diagnosing a residential comfort system or complex commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment, our approach is built around measured operating conditions, clear communication, and recommendations that match the actual equipment, load, climate, and application.

Our operating standard

Measured Diagnostics, Not Guesswork

Whether the equipment serves a home or a commercial facility, we diagnose the system from measured operating conditions instead of one gauge reading or one symptom. Testing is selected around the equipment, accessibility, complaint, and manufacturer information available for that specific system.

  • Test accessible mechanical, electrical, control, airflow, and heat-transfer conditions
  • Compare multiple readings so one symptom is not mistaken for the root cause
  • Use model, serial, refrigerant, capacity, and manufacturer engineering data when available
  • Verify operation after qualifying work is completed

What We Measure & Calculate

One System. Multiple Sets of Evidence.

As applicable & accessible

Refrigeration Circuit

  • High-side and low-side pressure
  • Evaporating and condensing saturation temperatures
  • Suction temperature at evaporator and compressor
  • Liquid-line and compressor discharge temperatures
  • Superheat, subcooling, CTOA, approach, and compression ratio

Airflow & Air Conditions

  • Return and supply dry-bulb / wet-bulb temperatures
  • Return static, supply static, and total external static pressure
  • Filter, coil, and other pressure drops when accessible
  • Temperature split and return-to-supply enthalpy change

Calculated System Capacity

  • TESP + blower setting + OEM fan data → operating CFM estimate
  • 4.5 × CFM × enthalpy change → total cooling BTUH
  • 1.08 × CFM × temperature change → sensible BTUH
  • Total minus sensible → latent capacity
  • Measured output compared with manufacturer performance at actual operating conditions

Water, Electrical & Controls

  • Entering and leaving water temperature / water-side ΔT when applicable
  • Water pressure or flow conditions where test points are available
  • Voltage, phase condition, amperage, motors, capacitors, and compressor electrical operation
  • Safeties, sensors, relays, control boards, VFDs, staging, and BAS commands as applicable

How We Use the Data

The value is not any one number by itself. We compare how the refrigeration circuit, airflow, water side, electrical system, controls, and calculated capacity agree with one another — then compare that operating picture with the exact equipment's manufacturer data whenever it is available.

Residential & Commercial HVAC / Refrigeration Experience

From residential split, packaged, and heat-pump systems to rooftop HVAC, water-source equipment, walk-ins, reach-ins, controls, and commercial refrigeration, we apply the diagnostic depth appropriate to the equipment in front of us.

Diagnostic depth matched to the actual system

Complex Repair Capability

We investigate difficult, intermittent, and repeat failures before recommending replacement. Repair is recommended when the diagnosis and equipment condition support it.

Diagnosis before replacement

Decisions Based on Operating Conditions

Equipment and system recommendations consider load requirements, manufacturer information, field measurements, climate, application, and the way the facility actually operates.

Field data guides the recommendation

Clear Scope Before Additional Work

We explain what was found, what should be corrected, what is not included, and what the work is expected to accomplish before additional repairs move forward.

Clear findings, scope, and next action

Workmanship Accountability

Qualifying repairs and installations include written protection and a defined process if a covered workmanship issue returns. Coverage depends on the applicable written terms.

Written protection on qualifying work

Written Protection

Protection After the Work

Qualifying repairs, installations, and new equipment may include written protection that holds our workmanship accountable. Coverage depends on the applicable proposal or invoice and the complete eligibility, exclusions, and claim requirements.

Our Accountability Commitment

Make It Right

Accountability on Covered Workmanship

When we determine that a covered workmanship issue exists on the specific component we repaired or installed, we return to diagnose and correct that covered issue without another diagnostic charge.

1

Contact American Cool and provide the invoice or project number.

2

We inspect the specific repaired or installed component.

3

A confirmed covered workmanship issue is corrected under the written policy.

Applies to qualifying covered workmanship only. New failures, unrelated components, maintenance conditions, utility problems, third-party alterations, and outside causes are not included.

Lifetime

Written Protection

Brazed-Joint Workmanship

Lifetime

Written Protection

Compressor Protection

Available on qualifying new equipment furnished and installed by American Cool when written coverage and continuous eligible maintenance requirements are met.

Written Protection

Parts and Labor Protection

Qualifying repairs using company-supplied parts may receive two years of written protection against covered part defects and covered installation-workmanship issues.
