Complete Home Cooling Services
Affordable Service offers everything a New Mexico homeowner needs to keep indoor spaces comfortable and energy-efficient.
Emergency Air Conditioner or Swamp Cooler Repair
Failure can happen anytime in your refrigerated air system or swamp cooler. Our team provides 24/7 emergency A/C repair for Albuquerque and Rio Rancho homes. We arrive promptly, diagnose the issue, and carry common parts to quickly restore cooling. From refrigerant leaks and electrical problems to frozen coils or malfunctioning compressors, we handle repairs efficiently to get your home comfortable again.
New A/C Installation and Replacement
If your existing air conditioner is old or inefficient, installing a new high-efficiency system can lower monthly energy costs and deliver consistent comfort. We install Carrier® and other trusted A/C brands, carefully sized for your home’s layout and insulation. Our technicians remove old equipment, set up your new system, and ensure everything operates at peak performance before we leave.
Swamp Cooler to Refrigerated Air Conversions
Many Albuquerque and Rio Rancho homes rely on evaporative coolers (swamp coolers). While these systems are inexpensive to operate, they can struggle during humid monsoon weather and may leave your home feeling damp. Our refrigerated air conversions replace swamp coolers with modern central air conditioning that provides steady, humidity-controlled comfort and cleaner indoor air—ideal for allergy sufferers and families seeking consistent cooling.
Mini-Split and Ductless Systems
For rooms without ductwork or for home additions, mini-split systems offer an energy-efficient alternative to central A/C. These ductless units allow you to control the temperature of individual rooms and reduce energy use. Affordable Service installs, repairs, and maintains ductless mini-splits tailored to your home’s specific needs.
Swamp Cooler Maintenance and Seasonal Shutdowns
If you have an evaporative cooler, seasonal maintenance is essential. Our technicians perform spring start-ups, mid-season checkups, and fall shutdowns to prevent leaks, corrosion, and frozen water lines in your evaporative cooler. Proper shutdown helps you avoid costly water damage and keeps your swamp cooler in excellent shape for the next season.
Preventive Maintenance Plans
Regular maintenance is the key to avoiding mid-summer breakdowns and extending your air conditioner’s lifespan. Our preventive maintenance plans include inspections, cleanings, and tune-ups to maximize efficiency, reduce energy costs, and provide peace of mind all year.
