Albuquerque, NM
Air Conditioning in Albuquerque: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Albuquerque follows the local climate. In hot-dry climates outdoor units run at very high temperatures, which is hard on capacitors, contactors and compressors. Dust and blowing sand clog condenser coils, and rooftop and attic equipment bakes in the sun.
A common Albuquerque pattern: cooler maintenance. Coolers need spring startup and fall shutdown. Another: monsoon humidity. Coolers lose effectiveness during monsoon weeks.
The air conditioning services Albuquerque homeowners ask for most are AC Replacement & Installation, evaporative (Swamp) Cooler Service. Correctly sized new systems, SEER2 ratings and refrigerant changes.
The City of Albuquerque Planning Department issues mechanical permits inside city limits, and Bernalillo County handles unincorporated areas. Start evaporative coolers in April and drain them before freezes; schedule furnace service in fall.

Should I replace my swamp cooler with AC?+

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+
Age, refrigerant type and the failed part decide it. A newer system with a bad capacitor or fan motor is a repair. An older R-22 system with a failed compressor or leaking coil is usually a replacement.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?+
Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
