What to expect
How a conversion works
Five steps on our end. Three that matter to you.
Free in-home estimate
We measure, run a load calculation, open your panel and look at your ducts. About an hour.
A fixed written price
Itemized, with anything conditional called out before you sign.
Permits, install, walkthrough
We pull permits and schedule the inspection. Most installs take 2–3 days, longer if the panel or ducts need real work.
What decides your price
The three things that set the cost
We check all three on the estimate visit, so nobody learns about a surprise after the old cooler is on the ground.
Your electrical panel
Refrigerated air needs 240 volts and headroom in the panel. A 100-amp panel may need an upgrade.
Your ductwork
Swamp coolers push air out open windows. Refrigerated air needs return-air paths, and many Albuquerque homes need returns added.
Your furnace’s age
The indoor coil mounts on the furnace and shares its blower. At 15+ years, doing both at once usually costs less than doing it twice.
Is it time?
Done with the swamp cooler?
Swamp coolers struggle once the monsoon humidity rolls in. Most people call when they’re tired of these:
- Hot afternoons the cooler can’t keep up with
- Muggy, damp air on monsoon days
- Leaving windows cracked to make it work
- Musty smell and mineral buildup
- Twice-a-year startups and shutdowns
What you get out of it
Why people make the switch
- Real temperature control — a set point you hold, not “about ten degrees cooler than outside”
- No more cracking windows, no swamp smell, far less indoor humidity
- Filtered air for high-desert dust and spring allergy season
- No more spring startup and fall shutdown every year
- Resale — refrigerated air is expected in this market now

Questions
Questions people actually ask
Can I keep the swamp cooler as a backup?
Sometimes, if the roof opening and down-duct are in good shape. Many people do for the shoulder seasons. We’ll tell you if yours is worth keeping.
Will my power bill go up?
Yes. Refrigerated air uses more electricity than evaporative cooling. A high-efficiency system and a smart thermostat keep the difference smaller than most people expect.
Do I need a new furnace?
Only if yours is old. We install these for builders and we know what a 10-year-old furnace looks like. We’ll tell you straight.
Do you pull permits?
Yes, on every job that requires one, and we handle the inspection.
Cool by next summer. Price in hand this week.
