Albuquerque HVAC FAQ
Should I switch from a swamp cooler to refrigerated air in Albuquerque?
Many homeowners do for steadier comfort during humid monsoon weeks. Swamp coolers cost less to run but need regular maintenance and water.
When should I winterize my swamp cooler?
Before the first freeze, usually in October. Drain the water and cover the vent to stop heat loss.
