Swamp Cooler Spring Startup & Fall Shut-Down
Spring startup and fall shut-down are a yearly ritual for Albuquerque homes that cool with swamp coolers, and doing them right makes the difference between a cooler that runs all summer and one that fails in July. We handle both ends of the season across the metro: getting your cooler ready in spring and winterizing it before the first freeze.
What spring startup includes
Before the first hot week, we get your cooler ready: reconnect and test the water line, clean out scale and debris, replace worn pads, check and prime the pump, inspect the belt and motor, and run it to confirm it's cooling evenly. Starting up properly catches small problems while they're cheap and keeps you from a no-cool call on the first 95-degree day.
What fall shut-down includes
When cooling season ends, we winterize: shut off and drain the water line so it can't freeze and split, drain the tray, cover the unit, and clear out standing water that breeds buildup. A proper shut-down before the first Albuquerque freeze protects the pump and water lines and means a much easier startup next spring.
Why the timing matters here
Albuquerque's seasons turn fast. A warm April can have you wanting cool air with no warning, and a cold snap can hit before you've drained the lines. We book startup and shut-down ahead of the rush so you're not waiting in a heat wave or scrambling before a freeze. Ask us about getting on the seasonal schedule.
