We recommend a professional tune-up once a year before peak cooling season. Homes with heavy summer use, pets, or dust may benefit from an additional mid-season check to keep airflow and performance on track.

"I highly recommend L.C. Heating/Cooling and contractor Louie Candelaria. He was contracted to install a new furnace, replace duct work and electrical wiring. Cost was lower than several other companies I obtained estimates for. Workers arrived on time and laid materials on the floor to prevent scratching and keep the area clean. All work was accomplished in a timely manner. All questions were answered to our satisfaction. I am very satisfied with the quality of their work and plan to rehire them for an A/C installation in the future."

"There was a burning smell coming off my furnace, so I turned it off. Since I'm new to the area I googled Furnace Repair business and LC Heating and Cooling came up. I called and they answered the phone right away. I told him what was going on and he said to text me my address and he came within the hour. Louie was amazing and I am so grateful for all of his help and understanding. He answered all of my questions without judgement or ridicule, which unfortunately happens to me a lot since I am an older woman. I really appreciate all that did for me, he is very professional and is worth every penny."
Jennifer J.
"My heating system’s engine blew out, they provided a super quick evaluation of the situation and had me serviced right away; I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family that need quick, reliable, and professional heating system work. They were courteous throughout the whole process and finished setting me up with a great heating system in no time. Thank you guys!"
Hector C.
"Louis is great. He obviously knows his way around heating and cooling like the back of his hand. He explained the issues to us which turned out to be minimal. He is going to be our go to for all of our family homes. We trust his advice and professionalism. We appreciate the honest service and care."
Gregory P.
"LC Heating and Cooling is top notch in my opinion! Professional and thorough when they replaced my HVAC unit. Job was done quickly and without any issues or problems. Hit up Louie and his crew for any HVAC needs! They do excellent work and take pride in what they do. I would hire them again without hesitation."
Tony C.
"As new home owners in Albuquerque, we wanted our air conditioner looked at. Other companies charged a fee for an estimate and appointments were needed. Louie Candelaria with LC Heating & Cooling LLC came out at no charge the same day. From the beginning my encounter with the company owner was like seeing an old friend yet very professional. Mr. Candelaria explained what service was needed in a form that I could understand... We will be calling them again for any HVAC needs."

AC Tune-Up Checklist for Albuquerque Homes
A professional tune-up improves cooling performance, helps lower energy use, and catches small issues before they become costly repairs. Every visit follows a detailed checklist and ends with clear, honest recommendations.
Full System Inspection
We check indoor and outdoor units, measure temperatures, listen for abnormal sounds, and note any wear that could affect reliability this season.
Condenser & Coil Care
We clean debris from the outdoor condenser and inspect coils. Where accessible, we clean coil surfaces to support proper heat transfer and airflow.
Refrigerant Performance Check
We verify operating pressures and temperatures for proper performance. If readings suggest a leak or other issue, we explain next steps and options.
Electrical & Safety Checks
We inspect wiring, capacitors, contactors, and safety components for signs of wear or overheating, and tighten accessible connections as needed.
Thermostat & Controls
We confirm accurate temperature readings, review settings and schedules, and test system start-up, cooling cycles, and shutoff.
Drain Line & Airflow
We clear the condensate drain if needed, inspect the pan, and check filters and duct airflow to reduce moisture issues and maintain even cooling.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in Albuquerque?
