Heating in Albuquerque usually means one of two machines, a gas furnace or a heat pump, and one of three jobs: fix it, replace it or keep it running. Red Wrench Company does all three, and the written estimate is free. Start with what your system is doing today.
Start With What Your Heat Is Doing
- No heat, cold air or no ignition. Book furnace repair. At night or on a weekend, use emergency furnace repair.
- Ice on the outdoor unit or weak heat. Book heat pump repair.
- An old furnace with repeat breakdowns. Compare the options on furnace replacement.
- An addition, new build or no central heat yet. Read furnace installation.
- Running fine, with winter coming. Book furnace maintenance.
- A manufactured home. Different rules apply, so see mobile home furnace service.
Furnace or Heat Pump for a High-Desert Home?
Choose gas when you want hot supply air on the coldest nights and the home already has a gas line. Follow the manufacturer's high-altitude instructions at our 5,300 feet.
Choose a heat pump when you want heating and cooling from one system. Albuquerque sees about 113 freezing nights a year, so cold-weather capacity and backup heat decide whether it works for your house.
A Quick Repair-or-Replace Rule
Repair one failed part on a sound system. Price replacement after a cracked heat exchanger, or when repairs keep coming on an aging unit. The Energy Saver guide from the U.S. Department of Energy suggests considering replacement once a furnace passes 15 years or a heat pump passes 10.

Heating questions
Which heating systems do you work on?
Gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps and furnaces built for manufactured homes. Many East Mountain and rural homes run propane, so tell us the fuel when you call. A photo of the model plate helps us understand the system before the visit.
How often should a heating system be serviced?
Once a year, before the cold arrives. The National Fire Protection Association advises a professional inspection of fuel-burning heating equipment every year before cold weather. Around Albuquerque, early fall works well, ahead of the first freezing night.
Does Albuquerque require working heat in a rental?
City Code § 14-3-3-2 requires heating that holds 68°F three feet above the floor in habitable rooms, and it bars unvented fuel-burning heaters. Landlords and tenants should confirm how it applies with the City of Albuquerque. Outside city limits, other rules apply.
