Winterizing your swamp cooler stops freezing water from cracking the pan, pump, and lines during Albuquerque's cold snaps. We drain the unit, shut off and blow out the water line, remove or clean the pads, and cover the cooler so it's protected until spring. It also keeps cold drafts from pouring in through the ducts.

Why do I need to winterize my swamp cooler?

Here's what a visit for this service covers:

Drain and dry

We empty the pan and lines so no standing water can freeze, expand, and crack components over winter.

Water-line shutoff

We shut off the supply at the valve and clear the line to prevent a burst pipe in a hard freeze.

Pad removal

Old pads are removed so they don't rot or hold moisture against the cabinet all winter.

Cover and seal

We cover the unit and seal the duct damper to block cold drafts and keep heating bills down.

Signs you need winterization

Nights are starting to drop near freezing
You feel cold air drafting in through the cooler vent

What affects the price

We don't post fixed prices because every cooler and repair is different. Your quote depends on:

Which part has failed (a float or belt costs less than a motor)
Whether the unit is on the roof, a window, or the ground, and how hard it is to reach
Down-draft, side-draft, or ducted whole-house cooler type
The age and overall condition of the cabinet and components
Whether pads or other worn parts should be replaced at the same time

After a quick on-site diagnostic you get one clear, upfront price to approve before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions

When should I winterize my swamp cooler in Albuquerque?

Aim for October or early November, before the first hard freeze. Water left in the pan and lines can freeze overnight and crack the pump or pan.

What happens if I don't winterize my cooler?

Freezing water can split the pan, crack the pump, and burst the supply line, turning a simple shutdown into a spring repair bill. Open ducts also let cold air pour into the house.

Do you cover the cooler as part of winterization?

Yes. We install or replace the cover and seal the duct damper so cold drafts stay out and the unit stays protected.

Can winterization and a repair be done together?

Absolutely. Fall is a good time to fix anything that acted up over summer so the unit is ready to go in spring.

Do you repair roof-mounted and ground swamp coolers in Albuquerque?

Yes. We service roof-mounted down-draft coolers, window and side-draft units, and ducted whole-house evaporative coolers across Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.
