Signs you need a new air conditioner
You should probably consider replacing your air conditioner if:
It’s 20+ years old. If your AC is approaching 20 years of use, it probably takes longer to cool your home. Worse, longer run times only drive up energy bills. Rather than keeping an old AC alive, you’re better off investing in a newer, more efficient cooling system.
It needs frequent repairs. Does your air conditioner seem to constantly break down? If you’re frequently paying for repair jobs, it may be cost-effective to replace your AC altogether. Especially if your warranty has expired and your repair costs are no longer covered.
It doesn’t keep you cool. There’s a reason you have AC in the first place: to keep you comfortable on those hot, sweltering days and nights! If your AC doesn’t cool your home like it used to, we recommend installing a brand new AC system. You’ll enjoy better comfort and energy savings.

How much does an AC installation cost in Albuquerque?
The following factors affect the cost of your AC installation:
Size. The size of your home determines the size of unit you need to cool your home based on the square footage. Some larger homes may need multiple units to adequately cool your home. TLC’s HVAC experts will evaluate these and other factors to offer you a free no-hassle estimate.
Efficiency. Your AC’s efficiency is measured by a rating system called SEER (“Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating”). The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the AC system is, saving you money on your energy costs. Although you may pay more for a higher-efficiency AC system, you’ll save on energy bills long-term.
Electrical Upgrades. Air conditioners tend to draw a lot of power. If your home’s electrical system needs upgrading, this could add to your installation costs. During your upfront estimate, TLC’s technician will let you know exactly how much it will cost. We also have our own licensed electricians so these upgrades can be done along with your installation.

Customer story in Albuquerque
After a 5-star AC installation, TLC earns a lifelong customerProblem: When Tanya B. needed a new air conditioner, she wanted to find a reputable company that would install it correctly. After researching top-notch HVAC contractors in Albuquerque, TLC’s long list of 5-star reviews won her over. She contacted our offices for a free estimate, and then we had our AC expert, Riley, out to her home in no time.
Solution: From start to finish, TLC provided a smooth AC installation. During Tanya’s estimate, Riley answered all of her toughest questions with helpful advice. He even texted her the moment the equipment was confirmed in stock, so she could get her installation scheduled for that very same week. During the installation, TLC’s technicians were polite, efficient, and mindful of cleaning up. That way Tanya wouldn’t have to worry about a mess being made. Now that she’s enjoying her new refrigerated AC, Tanya is thrilled she chose TLC. In fact, she’s happy to share she’s now a lifelong customer!
THE CUSTOMER'S TESTIMONIAL
“From beginning to end this was a smooth process. First I had Riley out to give me the estimate to switch from a swamp cooler to refrigerated air. He was extremely thorough in checking everything out and answering all of my questions. He gave me the proposal which I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when it came in lower than what I expected. Because we are in the middle of the pandemic I knew that getting equipment could be hard. I received a text from Riley a few days later stating all the equipment was in stock and we were set for install. Everyone who came to my home was beyond polite and professional. They did not leave a mess once while they were working. Overall TLC was absolutely amazing I am so glad I decided to go with them over another company. You got a customer for life.”
