Heat Pump Installation in New Mexico: what's different

Heat Pump Installation across New Mexico depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 3–5). Heat pumps work efficiently in dry climates with mild winters. The main stress is summer heat on the outdoor unit and dust on the coil.

In New Mexico specifically: swamp cooler maintenance. Coolers need pad, pump and float service each spring and drain-down before freezes.

New Mexico licenses mechanical contractors through the Construction Industries Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Installation.

PNM, El Paso Electric and Xcel Energy supply electricity in different regions. New Mexico Gas Company supplies most natural gas.
