"I am very pleased with the service and equipment. Patrick was prompt, did the work quickly and cleaned up afterward. His price was very reasonable and he has called to check on the system and make sure I am satisfied. I know he will be there right away if I have any problems. I had no experience with choosing a system for an older house in Santa Fe. There is no ductwork. It was heated with a wood stove. The mini split system has given me three zones in the house where I can control the heat or cooling separately. This is perfect for me because I don't have to heat or cool areas that I am not using."

"After trying to get another A rated company to come to my home and not getting any response after multiple attempts to reach them, I reached out to ABQ Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. They answered my call immediately (no messages had to be left), they had someone scheduled to be there within days (I called on a Friday). The toilet issue was repaired same day as the consultation. Matt, the technician who came out, completed the job quickly and the work was great. He discussed caulking options with me and provided his input on why I may or may not want to do it a specific way and let me decide how I wanted it done. He was scheduled to return the following Monday to complete the work to replace the kitchen Faucet and garbage disposal. He gave input on purchase options with him vs. getting it ourselves and pros and cons of both. We opted to buy our own and have him do the work. He provided some general guidance on brands without pushing any specific one, and guaranteed he could install whatever we purchased. He arrived on-time on the scheduled day, and performed the replacements quickly. He had me test everything to ensure it was to my satisfaction, and specifically pointed out what connections and piping he had to replace, as well as showing me how to do basic user maintenance on my new garbage disposal to help save me money in the future. I highly recommend this company, and Matt is great."

"David did an awesome job. This house has been vacant for over 4 years and we’re trying to bring it back to life. David helped troubleshoot and replace the radiant heating furnace. His copper work is beautiful. We now have heat. We will have them replace the hot water heater next."

"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

"We had an excellent experience with our furnace installation. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently and professionally, and completed the installation with great care. They took the time to explain the new system, confirmed that everything was functioning properly, protected our home throughout the process, and cleaned up thoroughly afterward. We’re very satisfied with the service and would gladly recommend them."

"We were ready for a struggle. We have a 'special' HVAC system which was struggling. Two years ago we had several HVAC providers provide estimates and they were all so high that we just decided to wait until our system died.
The system didn't die but someone in this household decided to power wash the unit, crushing about 75% of the fins. So then we had a struggling system that was very damaged and straightening 75% of the fins did not seem doable.
We called Reliable and Terrence and Erik came out to examine our system and provide an estimate. Although we were prepared to hear the entire system had to be replaced, Terrence thought that was not necessary and he carefully explained his recommendation.
Within two days we had a written estimate that was thousands of dollars less than any other estimate we had received two years previously when the system was not struggling as much.  The estimate included 
Reliable replaced our unit with a new, smaller, more energy efficient unit. We could not be more pleased. They even registered the unit with Lennox, as they had all the information. 
Now we probably have a system that will operate for at least another 10 years. We will call Reliable Tech from now on for any HVAC or plumbing problem. They proved that sometimes the WHOLE system does not have to be replaced. Somehow, Reliable Tech was the only provider who understood that 'just enough' is often all that is required.

"They found a carbon monoxide leak and we didn't know it. He was really good about it. He even showed me, he had a meter. He read it and said it's supposed to be 24 parts per million it was 300 parts per million.

He rebuilt and replaced part of the furnace. He came back twice to be sure everything was right."

"Air Pro did a superb job removing the existing 50-year-old ductwork in our home and installing all new ductwork. The house could not be cooled evenly (as much as a 10° difference between rooms), but the new system Air Pro designed and installed has dramatically improved things: the whole house is evenly cooled. They also installed an exhaust fan in the master bathroom. The techs, Alan and Mike (I hope I got their names right), were courteous, respectful, and, most important, excellent at their jobs. They ran the new flexible ducting in the attic so that we can still access the areas we use for storage. At one point some damage was done to ceiling sheetrock in the living room, but the guys immediately cleaned everything up, and Jared at Air Pro sent over a sheetrock crew the very next day to make the repair, which was expertly done. Overall we're very satisfied and can recommend Air Pro. Thanks!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lamy, NM

Swamp coolers are quite energy-efficient, using only 15% to 35% of the electricity that traditional central air conditioning units consume. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers require water to operate and may not cool your home as effectively in extremely hot or humid conditions. When considering overall efficiency, it is essential to weigh both electricity and water usage, as well as the cooling needs specific to your local climate.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry climates because they cool by moistening the air. If the air is already moist, this will have little to no cooling effect. Central AC is a better choice if you live in a humid climate, such as the Midwest, eastern, or western coastal regions.

To install a swamp cooler on a roof, a local HVAC specialist will first find and cut a spot free of wiring and obstructions. They’ll then install metal bracing, legs, brackets, the ceiling duct register, ductwork, power, and thermostat wires. Once installed, they’ll seal all openings, attach duct connections, and install a thermostat. Before leaving, they’ll run cool water piping to the unit and inspect all the connections.

The cost to repair your swamp cooler ranges from $50 to $600, depending on the issue, whether new parts are needed, and the chosen repair service. Depending on the type of pad your system uses, you will need to change out the pads every one to three years for proper operation. When budgeting for the cost to repair a window unit, expect to pay around $230.

The U.S. Department of Energy states that swamp coolers can cool a single room by five to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this largely depends on the size and installation method of the evaporative cooler. You can only achieve these results in a dry climate, such as the American South, as it’s easier to cool rooms in humid environments with central air.

Swamp cooler water usage varies depending on the size of the unit. Smaller evaporative units may use one gallon per hour, while much larger units could use up to 15 gallons of water per hour. Most homeowners can expect their unit to use between seven and 10 gallons of water per hour of usage.
