Where do most HVAC installations go wrong? Usually before the first wrench turns, when someone matches the new tonnage to the old nameplate and skips the math. At Albuquerque HVAC, the math comes first. We build a load calculation for your Albuquerque, NM home from its square footage, insulation levels, windows, orientation, and air leakage, because a system sized by habit rather than by measurement is wrong from day one. From there the job becomes three connected pieces of work: equipment matched to the load, ductwork able to deliver what that equipment produces, and a commissioning process that proves the result on the meter instead of on paper.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for HVAC Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Watch for these telltale signs:
- Equipment loud enough to hear over conversation
- Utility bills rising each season as comfort slips
- The system in your home is more than twelve to fifteen years old
- Cold-but-clammy summers, a classic sign the system is oversized
- A compressor failure one year and a heat exchanger problem the next
- You are renovating or adding space and the old system cannot carry it
- Rooms that stay uncomfortable however you set the registers
- Your equipment depends on R-22, a refrigerant that has been phased out
Early Action Saves Money
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. Don't wait, call (505) 209-7417 and we'll take a look right away.
