Air conditioning in Albuquerque comes in three forms: refrigerated air, the swamp cooler and the ductless mini split. Red Wrench Company repairs, replaces and maintains all three, and the right next step depends on what your system is doing today. Use this page to find it, or call (209) 563-1270 at any hour.
Start With What Your System Is Doing
Match the symptom or the plan to the service.
- No cooling, warm air or ice on the line: book AC repair. If it quit at night or on a weekend, go to emergency AC repair.
- An older unit facing an expensive fix: compare the repair against AC replacement.
- A house or addition with no central cooling yet: read about AC installation.
- Working fine but unserviced this year: schedule AC maintenance before July.
- Weak or musty air from the roof cooler: book swamp cooler repair.
- A room the ducts never reached: look at ductless mini splits.
Air Conditioning in Albuquerque: Swamp Cooler or Refrigerated Air?
Pick by the weeks you care about most. A swamp cooler is cheap to run and strong in June, Albuquerque's driest month. It loses ground once monsoon humidity arrives. Refrigerated air holds steady through July and August, at a higher running cost.
If those humid weeks leave the house uncomfortable, price a swamp cooler to refrigerated air conversion. We inspect the ducts before quoting one.
Check Any AC Contractor Before Work Starts
New Mexico requires a Construction Industries Division (CID) license for HVAC work. Look up the number on the state license search before you sign with anyone. Ours is NM CID License #413436.

Air Conditioning questions
Do you work on swamp coolers and refrigerated air?
Yes. We service evaporative coolers, central air and ductless mini splits. Many Albuquerque homes have run on a roof cooler for decades, so tell us on the phone which you have. A photo of the model plate helps us plan the visit.
How do I tell which kind of cooling my house has?
Look outside. A metal box on the roof or wall, fed by a water line, is a swamp cooler. A finned unit with a fan beside the house is a refrigerated air condenser. A small wall-mounted head indoors usually means a mini split.
Should I call about repair or replacement first?
Call about the repair. A diagnosis tells you what actually failed, and that answer drives the decision. If the failure is serious on an older system, we can write up a repair price and a replacement price so you can compare them.
