Air Conditioning in New Mexico: what's different
Air Conditioning across New Mexico depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 3–5). 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.
In New Mexico specifically: swamp cooler maintenance. Coolers need pad, pump and float service each spring and drain-down before freezes. Dust and wind: Spring winds load filters and coils.
New Mexico licenses mechanical contractors through the Construction Industries Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department. Common systems in New Mexico: Evaporative coolers, Gas furnaces, Refrigerated AC, Radiant floors.
PNM, El Paso Electric and Xcel Energy supply electricity in different regions. New Mexico Gas Company supplies most natural gas.

FAQ
Air Conditioning questions in New Mexico
Can I get air conditioning service anywhere in New Mexico?+
Our contractor network covers many New Mexico ZIP codes. Call with your ZIP code and we will tell you whether a licensed contractor serves your address.
Should I replace my swamp cooler with AC in Albuquerque?+
Refrigerated AC gives better comfort during monsoon humidity, while coolers are cheaper to run on dry days. Some homes keep both.
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.
