The $99 + Tax Fall Changeover

Homeowner Tips from Arrow Ridge Contracting · Albuquerque · Rio Rancho · Bernalillo

Every fall, two jobs show up on the same to-do list: shutting the swamp cooler down and getting the furnace ready. We'd like to make that one easy visit.

Here's exactly what our fall changeover is, what it costs, and what it does and doesn't include, so you can decide with no guesswork.

The offer in plain words

Swamp cooler shutdown + furnace startup, $99 + tax, for 1 cooler and 1 furnace. The offer ends Nov 30, 2026.

That's one cooler and one furnace, done in one visit, with a carbon monoxide test and a written checklist you keep.

What the swamp cooler shutdown includes

  • Inspect the accessible cooler and cabinet.
  • Check belt, motor and pad condition.
  • Drain the cooler and winterize the water supply line.
  • Set power, damper and cover for the season, as your equipment allows.

If you'd like to understand why this matters, we explain it in our article on winterizing your swamp cooler.

What the furnace startup includes

  • Start and test the furnace, and check thermostat response.
  • Check filter condition and airflow.
  • Check ignition and the heating cycle.
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) test, with the actual readings recorded.
  • Visual check of the accessible venting and flue.

The checklist you keep

When we're done, you get a completed written checklist. It shows what was checked, your actual CO readings, and any concerns or recommended follow-up. Skipped or not-applicable items are marked, not left blank.

We like this part best. It means you're not wondering what happened during the visit. You can read it, keep it, and compare it next year. For more on why we write the readings down, see our carbon monoxide safety guide.

What's not included

We want to be upfront, so here's the fine print in plain language:

  • Parts, repairs and approved extra work are separate. If something needs attention, we'll talk with you first. Nothing extra is done without your OK.
  • Heat-exchanger inspection is not included in the changeover.
  • Annual furnace maintenance is quoted separately.
  • The $99 + tax covers 1 cooler + 1 furnace. Have more than one unit, such as a rental or a second system? Tell us, and we'll quote it.

For rental owners and property managers

If you own a rental or two, or manage several, the same visit works for each unit. The $99 + tax covers each unit's cooler and furnace. Several units are quoted, and we're glad to talk it through.
