Satisfaction Guaranteed
"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.

They were courteous throughout the whole process and finished setting me up with a great heating system in no time. Thank you guys!"

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 definitely call again."

Frequently Asked Questions
Albuquerque HVAC Installation: Common Questions
Contact Us
How long does a typical HVAC installation take in Albuquerque?
How much does a new HVAC system cost in Albuquerque?
The cost depends on the system size, efficiency rating (SEER2/HSPF2), and brand chosen. We offer free, no-pressure estimates where we evaluate your home and provide several options at different price points to fit your budget and efficiency goals.
Do you offer financing for new HVAC installations?
Yes! We understand that a new HVAC system is a major investment. We offer flexible financing options with competitive rates to help make your new comfort system more affordable. Ask our estimator for details during your free consultation.
Should I replace both my furnace and AC at the same time?
While not always mandatory, replacing both units at once is usually recommended. A matched system ensures maximum efficiency, shared labor costs for installation, and prevents an old, failing component from dragging down the performance of your new unit.
What SEER2 rating should I choose for my new Albuquerque home?
The current federal minimum is 14.3 SEER2 for our region. However, upgrading to 16, 18, or higher can result in significant monthly energy savings that pay for the initial cost difference over time. We'll help you calculate the projected ROI for each option.
Are there any tax credits or rebates for high-efficiency systems?
Yes. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, many high-efficiency heat pumps and furnaces qualify for federal tax credits. Additionally, local utility providers occasionally offer rebates. We'll help you identify all available incentives to maximize your savings.
