That Time My Friend’s AC Nearly Broke Her Birthday Cake
So, last summer, my friend Anna was baking cupcakes in her East Mesa kitchen. The AC suddenly shut off right when the oven was on full blast. Next minute, her whole house was sticky and hot. Cupcakes? Melted into sad blobs.
She called her usual HVAC guy. He said it was the breaker and left. Next day, same thing. House stayed hot. Cakes gone. She texted me in a panic.
I went over. I found the real issue: her thermostat wire was shorting with a broken duct clamp in the attic. Took me 30 minutes to spot it. I fixed it, reset the breaker—and bingo—AC worked again. She got a refund from the other guy and invited me for cupcakes after.
Troubleshooting heating and cooling systems isn’t about guessing. It’s finding the hidden oopses and fixing them fast.
What Is Heating & Cooling Troubleshooting?
It’s like detective work for your HVAC system.
We don’t just replace parts. We figure out:
Why the AC cycles on and off weird
Why that one room stays hot
Why your furnace smells burning
Why the electric bill doubled
Then we fix that. Not guess, not patch.
Why Homes in Las Cruces Are Weird With HVAC
Las Cruces heat and dust bring unique problems:
| Problem | Common Cause |
|---|---|
| AC shuts off midday | Dirty coils from desert dust |
| Heater smells funny | Gas line or flame sensor issue |
| One room cold, others hot | Bad duct balance or broken dampers |
| AC runs non-stop | Wrong thermostat wiring |
We deal with this stuff from Mesilla to Sonoma Ranch every week.
How We Troubleshoot—Step by Step
We start by talking. You tell us what’s off. Is it hot room, strange sound, bill spike?
We check thermostat. Wrong wire or bad batteries can mess everything up.
We test electrical. We inspect breakers, fuses, capacitors.
We check filters and coils. If they’re clogged, airflow’s bad.
We look at ducts. Leaks and holes mess with airflow big time.
We test heat or refrigerant. Low gas, broken flame sensors, low Freon—all on the list.
We give you a clear report. We show you what’s wrong, why it’s wrong, and how to fix it.

Real Stories From Las Cruces Homes
The Solano House That Forgot a Filter
A landlord near Solano called us after tenants complained about poor airflow. We found a filter that looked like dirty pizza cheese. We replaced it, cleaned coils, and airflow shot up. HVAC ran 20% more efficiently. Tenants happy. Landlord happier.
The Doctor’s Office on Telshor
A clinic’s AC would blow warm air sometimes. We found their thermostat was installed under a vent—too hot to read correctly. We moved it, balanced ductwork, and reset the thermostat. Office cool again, patients stopped sweating in the lobby.
Troubleshooting Common Las Cruces HVAC Problems
AC turns on then off → Usually clogged coils or dirty filters
Some rooms don’t cool → Airflow imbalance or closed vents
Heater smells like rotten eggs → Gas leak or pilot light issue
AC makes loud click sound → Bad relay or failing capacitor
Electric bill spiked → System running harder than needed
If you’re ignoring it, you’re paying more each month. We catch things before they break.
