Your Go-To Auto Air Conditioning & Heat Repair Shop in Albuquerque, NM
Beyond Comfort: The Real Value of A/C and Heating Service
Comfort, safety, and efficiency all depend on a healthy HVAC system. From defrosting your windshield on chilly mornings to keeping cool during triple-digit summers, your A/C and heater are key to a safe ride. Regular service not only keeps you comfortable but also extends the life of the system and reduces the risk of major failures when you need it most.
Don’t Ignore These Common Auto A/C and Heater Problems
If your system is struggling, it usually shows early warning signs. Schedule service if you notice:
- Air blowing warm when the A/C is on, cold, or no heat when the heater is running
- Weak airflow from vents, even at full fan speed
- Strange smells like mildew or burning
- Unusual noises when the A/C or heater is running
- Foggy windows that take longer to clear
- The A/C or heater cycles on and off frequently
- Visible leaks under the vehicle near the compressor or condenser

Equipped for Every Refrigerant: R-134a and R-1234yf
Not all vehicles use the same refrigerant, which is why our team is equipped to service both R-134a and R-1234yf systems.
- R-134a: Still common in older vehicles, reliable and widely available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my A/C system?
We recommend having your vehicle’s A/C system inspected at least once a year, ideally before the summer heat hits Albuquerque. Annual checks help maintain peak performance, prevent refrigerant leaks, and ensure your system is ready when you need it most.
Can I use R-134a in a vehicle designed for R-1234yf?
No. Each refrigerant type requires specific system components, oils, and equipment. Using the wrong refrigerant can damage your A/C system, reduce efficiency, and even void your warranty. Our shop is equipped and trained to properly service both refrigerants.
Why does my A/C smell bad?
Unpleasant odors usually come from mildew or bacteria growing in the evaporator or cabin filter. Replacing the filter and professionally cleaning the system typically solves the issue and restores clean, fresh airflow.
Do you service fleet vehicles?
Yes. We offer complete HVAC services and preventative maintenance programs for fleet vehicles. Regular service helps reduce costly downtime, keeps drivers comfortable, and ensures your business stays on the road without interruption.
