Swamp Cooler Startup & Shutdown
Every May the same story: the cooler that sat all winter won't blow cold, and every company in town is booked two weeks out. Get on the list early — startup in spring, shutdown in fall, and mid-season fixes when the pump quits on a 98° day.

Seasonal service includes
The details that separate a job done right from one you redo next year.
Spring startup
Fresh pads, pump and float valve checked, belt tension set, bearings oiled, water line reconnected and leak-checked, test run.
Fall shutdown / winterization
Drain, water line disconnected and blown out, damper installed, cover fitted — so nothing cracks over winter.
Mid-season repairs
Dead pumps, snapped belts, stuck floats, dry spots on pads — usually a same-week fix.
Honest referrals
Motor replacements and electrical-circuit issues get referred straight — we'll tell you what it is before you pay anyone.
So grateful for the amount of effort and patience these guys put in.Kenady · Google review
Common questions
When should I start my cooler?
In ABQ, mid-April to early May — before the first 90° week books every service company solid. Shutdown before the first hard freeze, usually late October.
Why does my cooler smell musty?
Old pads and standing water. Fresh pads at startup plus a drain-and-clean fixes it — it's included in our startup.
Cooler vs refrigerated air?
A cooler costs pennies to run and works great in our dry climate; conversions to refrigerated air are a different (licensed) trade — we'll give you a straight opinion for your house.
