Additionally, adding refrigerant without first locating and repairing the leak is both wasteful and a violation of EPA regulations.

For most of New Mexico, a 16 SEER2 unit offers the best balance of upfront cost and long-term energy savings. In hotter southern regions of New Mexico, upgrading to 18–20 SEER2 can pay for itself in 5–7 years. Our technicians calculate the energy payback period for your specific home and usage before recommending equipment.

The most impactful ways to reduce HVAC energy costs in New Mexico include: keeping the condenser coil clean (a dirty coil increases consumption by 10–30%), maintaining correct refrigerant charge, upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat, sealing duct leaks, and replacing systems older than 12–15 years with high-efficiency SEER2 equipment. Our maintenance service typically saves customers $30–$80 per month on electric bills.
