AC Repair in Santa Fe, NM

Santa Fe County Air Conditioning Repair Professionals

Air conditioning systems are complex mechanical systems that see frequent use in sunny Santa Fe. Given the high temperatures, keeping your system in optimal condition is crucial. It is likely that these systems will need repairs from time to time. When that time comes for your system, make your first phone call to Capitol Contractors. Our Santa Fe AC repair team can fix a wide range of air conditioning issues to restore comfort to your home in no time, ensuring energy efficiency and a longer system lifespan.

Is It Time for New AC Installation in Santa Fe?

Air conditioning systems are vital here in the Southwestern heat, but they aren't cheap. When we recommend whether a customer should get AC repairs or a brand new unit, we consider every angle. Our comprehensive assessment provides the necessary information to determine the most cost-efficient approach. While most air conditioning problems can be fixed, sometimes it is the better and more cost-effective option to replace the unit.

It may be time to consider replacing your AC unit if:

  • Your AC is over 12 to 15 years old
  • Your AC frequently breaks down and is costing you more in repairs than the unit is worth
  • You are looking for ways to improve energy efficiency and lower your energy bills

Conversely, while it may be tempting to just get air conditioning repairs because it's less expensive in the short term, it may cost more in the long term. It ultimately depends on the condition of your AC system. Opting for timely repairs can prevent a minor issue from turning into an expensive fix. If you are not sure, be sure to reach out to our Santa Fe AC repair experts for help!

The variation in temperatures can cause increased wear and tear on AC units, making regular maintenance and timely repairs imperative. Understanding these local climate challenges helps us assist homeowners with making informed decisions about their AC needs. Regular checks by Capitol Contractors can ensure that your air conditioner is ready to handle seasonal changes typical for Santa Fe County.

    "Excellent work"
    Our heat went out late Saturday night - We called Capitol Plumbing and the crew, two men, Xavier and Alex, were here early Sunday morning. The furnace was removed and by 6:00 pm the new furnace was up and working - The heat was on and the house warmed up quite fast. Xavier and Alex were friendly and worked very efficiently replacing the old furnace. They were very helpful and informative and explained everything about the new furnace and answered all our questions. When crew had completed the job, they waited until the temperature was up to the degrees necessary for furnace to work. Thank you for a job well-done and I would recommend Capitol Plumbing and Heating in Santa Fe to anyone who needs plumbing work done. Thank you, we are once again warm and cozy.

    "Emergency service was also quick and efficient and very Professional."
    Xavior, arrived at a much needed time to fix our leak. He was fast to detect the leak and addressed the situation in a professional manner. It was late and after hours but he was not hurried and explained what happened, what he did and what has yet to be done. If you are not using them or need good service we recommend them, they responded among the many we tried to reach, so they will have our business for some time to come. Thank you for relieving our problem and minds.

    "Service with humor!"
    After being stood up by another plumber we called Paul's Plumbing & Heating, Inc. They contacted Xavier and Beto from Capitol Plumbing and Heating who fixed our outdoor faucet, which would not turn off. Xavier explained everything and showed us the process. He was professional, witty, and patient with my questions. I highly recommend them and am also impressed Paul's Plumbing contacted them since they didn't have any available crews. Both companies have customers' best interests in mind.

    "Very happy with Xavior and Capitol"
    My kitchen sink x2 was hopelessly plugged up. Filthy water that had backed up was just sitting there. That is so unhealthy. I called Capitol this morning and they said they'd send out a serviceman in a couple of hours, which they did. Xavior came by and did a great job. He was polite, knowledgeable, smart and neat....no mess left behind for me! And best of all, the drains are running perfectly! Capitol has also installed my furnace and water tank, all within the last year or so (3/2021). And I am VERY pleased with that result as well....thanks to Adrian for that....great job.
    - Xavior did a great job
    "$1200.00"
    Both Tomas and Xavier Martinez were prompt and courteous. They went beyond what was a leaking hot water valve. After replacing the valve and water line hose, they checked the boiler system and found it was not properly operating and took care of it for us. We were thankful for their thoroughness and quick service.

    "Excellent friendly knowledgeable service."
    Had them install a complete new system for heating water and and radiant heat system. Went to a tankless hot water system. They worked very efficiently and wasted no time installing the system. Workers were friendly and explained everything about the equipment and answered my questions since I was not familiar with the tankless hot water system and the radiant heat used in homes. They hauled away the old tank and boiler and a soft water system that was out dated. It took about two days but the water was only off for part of the first day and we had hot water that night for showering. Over all a very positive experience and I would highly recommend Capitol Plumbing & Heating of Santa Fe for all your plumbing needs.
