Best Emergency Services in Albuquerque NM
Hottest stretch of the summer and our Air Conditioner starts making weirder noises than usual. We called around and people were booking 2-3 weeks out. We just happened to get a flyer from our realtor that day, one that recommended a few service people, including Sky Swanson. We called. He answered. He showed up THAT DAY to check out the system.
Sky addressed the immediate issue, creating temporary solutions that kept us going until we could make a decision about:
- replacing the AC unit (for which the coolant was no longer made, so that was kind of a no brainer)
- replacing the ductwork with larger-diameter ducts to accommodate the parts of the house that had been added before we moved in 26 years ago
- replacing the entire furnace which was already 17 years old and kind of hacked together and not especially efficient
We got bids for all 3 options and ended up with one of those as-long-as projects, the short version of which is that we have a brand new heating and AC system. Beautiful work, MUCH more efficient, and we can barely hear the new AC unit, even when we're outside sitting near it.
I can't praise Sky's work, problem-solving skills, and can-do attitude enough. Super nice guy, creatively and technically accomplished, neat and considerate, and totally committed to us being happy with his work. It's been several weeks and everything's been working brilliantly.

I had an ancient boiler for baseboard heat & domestic hot water heater. Both at least 27 years old, really!
Before catastrophic failure, I requested 4 bids from HVAC plumbers. Of the four , 3 submitted bids; 1 suspiciously low & 1 really high & one in the expected range. Only Baker Plumbing sent the actual plumber to do the bid. That is Steven Baker himself. He arrived at the time agreed upon, asked the right questions & got an itemized bid back in 1 day. Work started on time and finished when anticipated. He came in on target with no overcharges. He explained fully & helped getting tech info for custom settings.
Steven Baker plumbing is highly recommended.

I am currently living out of state and I had a leak in our rental and Donner Plumbing came out within a day to fix the leak. I was very pleased with the customer service and the speed of which the job was completed. The price was great as well. I will always use Donner Plumbing!!

Louie was able to fit me in the day I called, around my schedule. He took a little peek at the dishwasher that would not drain, and identified the issue immediately. I think it took him all of 10 minutes. Left everything clean and tidy, was friendly and easy to troubleshoot with. Definitely going on my list of vendors.

Well didn't think I'd be changing my mind this fast, but the sink is still leaking, albeit much more slowly. I called Rocketman back to see what they could do and they told me they'd charge another $160 to come back out and try again. That seems pretty unfair so I'm going to try somewhere else this time.

Business is very unprofessional and very over priced. Contacted in for them to come out and my scheduled time was 2-4pm received a call at 3pm saying they will be here slightly after 4pm. I contacted in and left a voicemail at 5pm, and they did not show up until 6pm. Quote received was ridiculously high. Twice the national average nearly for the job, nearly 2x the cost for the same thermostat that can be picked up at best buy, $3850 for $1000 worth of material (which they say is because of labor but they already charged labor before). I contacted in for my parents as my parents are very old and can't handle the stress of contacting companies and was told this is not eligible for a military discount (even though my father is a 23 year air force vet) and its my parents house and the work is being done on my parents house. Very unprofessional and ridiculously overpriced.

John showed up exactly on time, with his covid mask and set to work. He made an evaluation of our problem, gave us an estimate of cost and with our agreement began work. He treated our home as his own, even cleaning the area before he left. I was very pleased with this company and with their representative John.

I called them needing my kitchen sink snaked (this happens at my house about every 2.5-3 years). She said they might be able to make it over in about an hour (which is great), and I asked for a call when they headed over. She called as I asked, and they were fast and efficient. Excellent customer service and work. I definitely recommend.

These guys are disorganized and it seems that they only have one screwdriver. One camera. One saw for the entire company. They are very disorganized and the front office seems to make appts for crews assuming the one regular tip Phillips screwdriver will be available and not in Los Lunas if needed in rio rancho.

Needed someone to redo the washer faucet/drain box. Their worker showed up alone and got to work, but within the next 2 hours, he managed to drop a torch and burned the top of a *brand new* dryer - he put in a plastic valve box, but it's not flush to the wall and the frame of the valve box doesn't fit, (he tried to glue the frame on with drywall spackling??) - he left a pile of sheetrock dust and trash inside the garage - he was supposed to spackle and texture the sheetrock he cut out, and didn't - *AND* he was in such a hurry to leave the mess that he didn't even bother to turn the *WATER MAIN* back on??!! And - as it turns out - it's just as well that he left the water main turned off, because as soon as I got the water turned back on - *ONE OF THE WASHER CONNECTIONS IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO LEAK*!!!
And - as if all that wasn't enough - when I went out to turn the water main back on - the plumber had somehow managed to turn the cutoff valve so far the wrong direction, that he'd managed to force the brass blocking tab *PAST* the brass block!?!? (I don't even know how you do that!?) I had to use 2 wrenches and a breaker bar to turn the valve back on!!
Needless to say - this was NOT a good experience. I would *NOT* recommend these guys - and I will *NOT* be using them again. (I'm probably going to have to have another reputable plumber out here to make sure this is done right!?) The plumbing work can be fixed - but burning the top of a *brand new* $700 dryer is outrageous and spectacularly careless.....(he actually burned the dust cover that was *over* the dryer first - and could have started a full-blown fire!!)
Don't use - find someone else.....(I didn't see any mention of being licensed or bonded, so - you get what you pay for....)

Needed a sudden extreme repair for my refrigerated air system. Western Mechanical provided immediate service, clear and fair pricing, thoroughgoing diagnostics and excellent repair. Professional through and through. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for all such work.

Our neighbor this week had a leak from the main water line (fortunately it was outside). We suggested Valdez Brothers Plumbing and Heating because we have heard nothing but good things about them and they just recently replumbed two of our friends houses and did a awesome job. Since our neighbors and us have the meters located in the same spot at the street we thought we would get ours done too. We already had our inside of the house repiped (because of the awful polybutylene). I called them Wednesday morning, they were digging and cutting an area on the driveway, by noon, had the whole main pipe from the street to the house installed and were out of here by 6:00 on our house and our neighbors. Then today at noon they came finished the drywall and textured and were finished by 3:00 on both houses (plus they clean up after themselves). Don't have to worry about covering things with plastic because it makes dust when they cut the drywall, they do it for you and cover the floors where they track in. They are the best and all of their workers are professional and courteous. Two of the plumbers are father and son (awesome) and the dry wall man, Rene Anaya brought his young son to help him today because he was on spring break. What a team. Mr. Anaya is the best!! If you need plumbing you must call Valdez Brothers you won't be sorry.
