HVAC Repairs, Replacements, & Installations
It's no secret. The weather in New Mexico is wild. It's not uncommon to have a warm summer-feeling day in the middle of December, or a sudden snow storm in following a hot late spring day. It's during those times where people long for instant temperature control. The ability to switch between heating and cooling in a moments notice in your indoor space always feels like a luxury.​
​
So what is an HVAC system? HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and consists of a compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator coil, and are typically made with materials like sheet metal. HVAC systems cool and move air throughout the home, while removing heat and moisture. When it comes to HVAC systems, people have their choice between a traditional split system or packaged system.​
​
While a swamp cooler can provide some relief during certain times of the year, nothing beats the heating and cooling relief of an HVAC unit! An HVAC unit is the perfect to control the temperatures within your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even if the temperature is over 100 degrees outside, or it's extremely humid outside, you guaranteed cooling relief from the heat. Then when it's cold, your guaranteed a warm, comfortable place to sleep at night. Even on a humid day, an HVAC system benefits your home by removing heating, as well as moisture, from the air. This is a benefit that a swamp cooler just can't provide. For individuals who want ultimate control over the temperatures in their home, no matter how hot, cold, or humid it is outdoors, they should consider an energy efficient HVAC system.
​
HVAC systems are not only nice when it comes to heating and cooling, they also don't allow a lot of outdoor smells indoors. While a swamp cooler sucks in outdoor air, an HVAC system continuously cools the air within your house. This prevents an excess of toxins from entering your home, therefore improving the indoor air quality.
​
When searching for the perfect HVAC system for your heating and cooling needs, it's important to consider a few things:
-
Household size - It's simple, The more warm bodies there are in an indoor space, the warmer it will be. This can make it easier to warm a room in winter, but harder to remove the heat in the summer.
-
Size of your home - The bigger the space, the more BTUs it will take to cool your home. A smaller HVAC system will sometimes cost you less to install.
-
How often you'll be home and where you enjoy your time - If you're rarely home or spend most of your time in a certain area of your home, you might not need or want a bigger unit.
-
Why do you need to have temperature control at your home - Are you somebody who does a lot of baking? Perhaps you do a lot of gaming or having a lot of tech running in your home? Maybe you care for somebody who is always cold? For any of these reasons, you may want to have ultimate control of your heating and air conditioning.
-
Your current climate - You might live in an area that having instant climate control is nice, but not a necessity.
​
All of these things are important factors to consider when choosing the right HVAC system to heat and cool your home. Proper sizing prevents energy waste (and money) and ensures you'll be comfortable when you need to be.
​
Other than size and model, when it comes to the comforts of an HVAC system, there are a few options available to you. Most individuals choose a traditional split system for air conditioner and heat, while others go with an all-in-one packaged unit with all the components. With both a split system and packaged system, you will also need ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home. For individuals wanting to spare themselves the headache of additional ductwork, they may choose a mini-split ductless system, you guessed it, doesn't require any existing ductwork! Then there is also a duel-fuel system that combines electric heat pumps and a natural gas furnace in order to heat the indoor air efficiently.
​
HVAC systems are generally a good idea. Even in moderate climates and humid climates, HVAC units operate at peak performance with the ability to provide heating and cooling in a flash. In fact, HVAC systems provide dehumidification in addition to cooling, plus, refrigerated air conditioners excel at removing moisture from the air and some allergens. If you want the next best thing to fresh air outdoors, consider improving your indoor air quality with a new HVAC cooling system.
​
If you've decided that an HVAC system is right for you, but are unsure if you need an outdoor or indoor unit, split system, or you just need expert advice on choosing the right cooling system for you, don't stress. The expert air conditioning contractors at NCB Mechanical are here to help!​​​​​​​
It's never easy dealing with extreme temperatures.

When you need a company to help condition air in your home, contact the HVAC professionals at NCB Mechanical in Albuquerque.​
​
While most people know their HVAC system needs to be repaired because the cooling isn't working, not all issues are obvious. So how do you know when you're HVAC system is in need of repair if it's still running? Below are a few things to consider and questions to ask yourself:
​
-
Poor temperature control - Is your unit cooling certain rooms better than others? Is your system having trouble reaching the thermostat setting and/or is your HVAC unit constantly running? Is your system pumping out warm air, rather than cool air?
-
Weak airflow - Do each of your rooms having varying temperatures? Have you noticed dirty filters or vents?
-
Unusual noises - Are you hearing unusual grinding, hissing, banging, screeching, rattling, or a combination of sounds?
-
Strange smells - Musty smells might be a sign of mold or mildew and may indicate a leak somewhere in the AC unit. Burning smells might be an indicator of an electrical problem or that components in your system are overheating.
-
Higher energy bills - Quite simply, if your utility bills have sky rocketed, there's an issue.
-
Frequent Cycling - If your unit is turning on and off more than usual, or worse, is constantly running, you'll need to have your HVAC unit inspected!
-
Excessive Humidity - Home HVAC systems are known for removing moisture from the indoor air. Extra humidity within your home, especially if met with mildewy smells, are an indicator that your unit isn't working and that there's a possible leak.
-
Water or refrigerant leaks - Are you noticing an accumulation of water or refrigerant around the HVAC unit.
-
Poor Air Quality - Have you had an increase in allergies? Is there more dust on your counters than usual? Does the ventilation seem uneven or worse, is the air stuffy?
​
Both split systems and packaged unit use a refrigeration cycle to cool the air. In this process, the refrigerant absorbs heat indoors while releasing it outdoors. Issues with the refrigeration cycle are one of the most common repairs. If your unit is pumping out warm air, or no air, it may be a sign that you have a compressor or condenser issue, or you may have a leak in your refrigerant lines that's helping to freeze your unit. To know the exact cause of your lack of cooling, it's best to call a professional HVAC technician in Albuquerque to inspect your AC unit.

​​There are many reasons why somebody might be looking to install a new HVAC air conditioner system in their home. Unfortunately, one of them is that their home doesn't have any sort of air conditioning. While some people have just relocated to New Mexico and discovered that their home never came with air conditioner, others have simply battled out the cold of winter and heat of summer. With NCB Mechanical, the days of living with an uncomfortable indoor space are over. We can help by installing ductwork to your home and setting you up with an amazing split system, featuring energy efficient AC unit and brand new furnace.
​
​As mentioned, many people looking for a new HVAC system have never had proper heating and air conditioning in their home. While installing a functional heater and air conditioner may seem logical, for people who own older homes, it may cause some worry. Sometimes you can't install ductwork to the property because doing so would cause too much structure damage. That doesn't mean you need to suffer with extreme heat or cold. At NCB Mechanical, we have a variety of mini-split ductless system available. These models feature high energy efficiency and give owners ultimate control of the indoor air around them.
​
Another worry some people have over getting a new HVAC unit is where they will put it. At NCB Mechanical, we're going to encourage you not to stress over the matter. We have both outdoor units and indoor units to help you cool your home. We'll even build you an HVAC stand to help you maintain your outdoor unit for longer.
​
At NCB Mechanical, we understand that it can be hard to take the plunge when it comes to getting a new home HVAC system. If you're on the fence on getting a new air conditioning system, consider the following:
​
-
HVAC systems give you the ultimate temperature control. No matter the season or time of day, you can change the indoor air temperatures with the flip of a switch. Say goodbye to the worrying of shutting your cooler down too late or starting it up too soon.
-
HVAC systems give you basic temperature control means less supplemental heat and/or cooling systems. Stop holding on to those extra space heaters for the random cold days, or extra window shakers for the really hot days. Increase your seasonal energy efficiency ratios with an indoor unit that suits your needs.
-
HVAC systems can help with cooling and heat energy waste. You can set your thermostat to the desired temperature and have it stay that degree all year long. You don't have to worry about your swamp cooler or heater running all day long.
-
An HVAC system increases the air quality in your home. Filters naturally block out pollutants and dust from the outside air, so you can breathe a little easier. When it comes to air quality, your air conditioning unit is the next best thing to fresh air.
​
Not everybody has a home that doesn't have any sort of air conditioning. Truth is, most homes in Albuquerque have traditional swamp/evaporative coolers. While this type of cooling system, with proper care, works fine most of the time, there are times where it provides no relief. A person's swamp cooler is only capable of cooling the house down about 20 degrees, so when the outside air temperatures are above 100, the indoor temperatures can still feel like a dry sauna. Swamp coolers also don't do so hot when it's humid outside. Even with proper ventilation, the humidity within your home can be miserable. With an HVAC or mini split system, you never have to feel at mercy to the outdoor temperatures. You can have ultimate temperature control with the flip of a switch. One of the other disadvantages of a swamp cooler is that unfortunately sucks up allergens. It's not uncommon for dust, pollen, and even fire smoke, to enter your cooler. Filters in your HVAC air conditioning system will act as an air cleaner, providing better indoor air quality for you, your family, guests, and pets. If the indoor heat and/or mugginess is getting to be a little too much for you, consider an HVAC installation with a high energy efficiency model by the team at NCB Mechanical!
​
Evaporative cooler users aren't the only people looking for a new air conditioner. There comes a time in every HVAC system's life where it needs to be replaced with a newer, energy efficient model. Whether your cooler outdated and you want a more energy efficient model, is taking forever to reach the desired temperature and feels like it's running 24/7, leaving you with higher energy bills, or your system has completely shut down, NCB Mechanical is here to help. We have models designed for energy efficiency, and that will look great in any home. If you're tire of stale air from your older unit and are looking to increase your seasonal energy efficiency ratio, let NCB Mechanical help you with your energy savings with a new HVAC system.
​
Sometimes needing to upgrade your cooling unit isn't the fault of your cooler. Perhaps the cooler is doing well, but maybe you did another upgrade to your home, like adding an extra room. When you add an extra room to your property, your current HVAC system has to work harder to heat or cool the space. In these situations, it's best to upgrade your unit, and/or to add an additional system. Upgrading your HVAC system or adding an additional unit will not only keep your indoor air more comfortable than the outdoor air, it'll also help you with energy savings and consumption. When you need help upgrading your HVAC model with a larger HVAC system, or adding an additional unit or mini split system, the team at NCB Mechanical has your back. We know all the local building codes that will help you get the best heating and cooling unit for your needs, but also meet your building requirements.
