Before You Turn On…Tune In.

With apologies to 1960’s pop culture guru Timothy Leary, we are talking about your home’s air conditioning here.  Maybe you are just about to or are in the early stages of using your home’s air conditioning for the summer of 2018.  Don’t wait until it is too late and Albuquerque area temperatures reach mid-summer highs.

Here are some steps to follow when you turn on and crank up the a/c in your home –

1.  Check the condenser unit located outside.

2.  Look carefully at the evaporator unit attached to your furnace, perhaps.

3.  Is the thermostat outdated?

4.  Check exposed ductwork for wear and tear.

5.  Look carefully at the air vents.

6.  Check the drain line.

Air conditioning checks and replacements are one of our many specialties at E M Plumbing Heating and Mechanical.  Don’t wait until summer gets its stranglehold on your household.  Call us for an in-home inspection of your home’s air conditioning system anywhere in the ABQ area and we will give you a fair an honest appraisal of its future.  That’s (505) 980-9334.

The Big Switch.

You know how it is in Albuquerque.  We seem to have two seasons.  There is winter, then suddenly summer hits full force and your home’s air conditioning system had better be ready.  When ABQ heats up, you will want to run your A/C consistently.  How do you know that it is ready for the challenge?

If you take a “wait and see attitude” you may be sorely disappointed and REALLY uncomfortable when you turn it on and crank it up.  Now you have downtime while the weather shows no mercy.  The compressor, the condenser, the evaporator, and the filter must ALL be ready to roll!

To ensure that, you need to call a professional who routinely makes the transition from heating to air conditioning and back again.  The right man for the job is Eric Montoya.  He is your Albuquerque air conditioning maintenance specialist.  Don’t wait another day!  Call Eric to have him come out to your home at (505) 980-9334.

Transition Time.

Don’t you love this time of year in Albuquerque?  Cooler spring temperatures give way to glorious long summer days.  Longer daylight means that your whole house air conditioning system needs to be ready for consistent temperatures up to 90 degrees and beyond.  Have you turned on you’re A/C yet?

This time of year, it is entirely possible that your air conditioning will be running at full capacity one day, then the next you find your family shivering in the morning.  At the very least a professional should check your air conditioning system to make sure that it is ready for the rigors of another New Mexico summer.

There are some basic maintenance check-list items that he will do.  What is important is to find someone who will NOT try to sell you a whole new A/C system if you don’t need it.  That is why you need to call Eric Montoya of EM Plumbing.  Eric is your ABQ expert at getting you ready for air conditioning season.  Give him a call today at (505) 980-9334.

Stay Cooler My Friends.

If you have lived in Albuquerque for more than one summer, you know what is about to come.  We are blessed with changes in the seasons and that’s a good thing.  However, when summer hits and the temperature reaches near 90 while the humidity may be 20% if you have a swamp cooler on top of your house you may wish you had taken action earlier.

A swamp cooler has its benefits - but in the hot, humid summers of ABQ it is no match for central air conditioning.  It simply is not fully equipped to blow air that is cool enough to bring comfort to your whole house.  Central air is the right call, not just for now, but for decades to come.  When you amortize the cost you will soon realize that it is well worth the initial investment.

Converting from the old, tired swamp cooler technology to glorious, comfortable central air conditioning may be just a few days away.  It all starts with one important phone call to the professionals at EM Plumbing.  They are Albuquerque’s expert in converting that old swamp cooler into central air.  Don’t waste another minute!  Call him today at (505) 980-9334.
