"My project was converting my home to a refrigerated air system along with new furnace and water heater. The project was completed in two days as per contract. The techs on my project were Clayton Electrician, Peter and Quinton HVAC Specialist and Master Plumbers. These gentlemen busted their butts for two days straight, yet always took time to answer all my questions and were not put off by my interruptions. Kudos to these fine tradesmen and Albuquerque Plumbing Heating & Cooling for the quality of workmanship and personnel within their organization."

"I hired Jorge the owner of Competitive Heating and cooling. He sat down with me for a consultation and was thorough in explaining options, and pricing. He inspected what needed to be done and was honest with his findings and went above and beyond to do repairs needed for a successful project. He showed up on time for the work date. He and his employee did an exceptional job. He showed me his work and I was so pleased. I found him to be professional, honest, dependable, personal, and a man of integrity. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone. Thank you Jorge! Now my family and I can be comfortable through the hot summer months."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

You should clean your air conditioner at least once per year, but you may need to clean your whole HVAC system (including the air ducts) more often. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, you may need to clean them more frequently depending on factors like whether you smoke, have pets, or have allergies.

While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.

While it is possible to add Freon to your AC unit yourself, it is not recommended. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits the handling of Freon without a license. Freon is a dangerous gas that can cause irreversible damage to your AC or yourself if not installed correctly. It is worthwhile to hire a professional to add Freon to your AC.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

A dual evaporator coil is a specific design that allows the AC system to cool different compartments at different levels. It’s usually seen in refrigerators and similar appliances, but not in whole-house air conditioning systems. Talk with your AC technician about the best uses for a dual evaporator coil.
