"Found David and his business on Angi’s list. We made an appointment for him to come out and make an estimate and he came at the appointed time & we had a discussion about what the requirements would be for this property based on size, ceiling heights and the fact that it was 2-story. He was able to start quickly and they started on the agreed date to install 4 mini split units. They worked full days and it really only took a couples of days to install. We needed an electrician and he was able to supply to at person as well. Everyone who worked on the project were very punctual and we felt very comfortable with everyone. We are now enjoyed quiet, cool air in a home that had been built in 1979 and never had any type of A/C. Only wish we had done sooner. Units are very quiet and of good quality and the service was excellent. Highly recommend David for your cooling & heating needs as well as any service you might need."

"After interviewing 8 companies for installation of mini-splits, I made the lucky decision to hire Patrick Baca, owner of Baca Heating and Cooling. He answered all my questions with patience and expertise and demonstrated that he could out-perform the 'competition'. I knew I could trust him. Patrick was efficient, professional, caring, courteous, always on-time, meticulous, and has a work-ethic that is 2nd to none. His pricing was incredibly fair, something that is a rarity in Santa Fe. He also went above and beyond the confines of installing my mini-splits, helping me with several unrelated fixes around my house and has returned on his own to make sure that everything is running smoothly. Patrick Baca is a shining example of a fully-knowledgeable, caring, and talented professional and I cannot express my gratitude enough for finding such a trustworthy and consummate master of his craft. I highly recommend Patrick Baca. He is the best."

"The tech who showed up was really creepy (kept asking me if I lived alone) and also didn't bother to tell me that the pump was broken when he turned the swamp cooler on. He tried to convince me I needed a new furnace and quoted me $6k for it. I had another HVAC person come look at it and they were able to do a simple repair for less than $300."

"We had several other companies come out to fix that but nobody has been able to fix it. He got there and fixed it with no problem. We've had them do the work on air conditioning and the swamp coolers. They've been just excellent. They're very reasonably priced. They really go through everything. He was amazing."

"The guy is wonderful, friendly, professional, and very reasonably priced. He cleaned my dryer vent which was completely blocked (by previous owners of my house) and he cleaned to evap cooler vents which were snowing mineral crystals all over my sofa (again previous owners left it in that condition). I feel so relieved now. Thanks!"

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Unfreezing an AC unit is not a DIY project unless the problem is a dirty air filter. Changing out an air filter is easy for homeowners, but otherwise, trying to repair ductwork, refill refrigerant, or replace a blower fan motor are tasks best left to the pros. Otherwise, you could cause further damage to your cooling system or even harm to yourself.

Absolutely! You can seriously improve the overall value of your home by maintaining high-quality, compatible systems for heating and cooling. Potential buyers will love not having to worry about getting a new HVAC unit for 15 to 20 years and will pay more for it. For maximum efficiency and cost savings, replacing the furnace and air conditioner at the same time, when possible, gives you (and potential future buyers) reliable comfort and modern convenience.

High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home’s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).

Evaporator coils in an HVAC system typically last between 10 and 15 years, which is roughly the same lifespan as the entire AC unit. The longevity of the coils can be affected by usage frequency, environmental conditions, and how well they are maintained. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspections, can extend their durability. If the evaporator coil fails in an older air conditioner, it may be more cost-effective to replace the whole unit rather than just the coil.

To keep your air conditioner in good working condition, you should have it serviced by a professional at least once per year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. If your AC unit is 10 years or older, consider servicing it twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall) to catch potential problems early and help it reach its full lifespan. During a service visit, a technician will inspect, clean, and replace parts as needed. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs. As a DIY task, you can also clean the evaporator coils annually.
