WITH THE BIG TIME COOL DOWN ACROSS NEW MEXICO, PLUMBING AND HEATING COMPANIES ARE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND. MATT HUDSON, THE OWNER OF ALBUQUERQUE’S R AND R HEATING AND COOLING SAYS THEY’RE GETTING SWAMPED WITH PHONE CALLS FROM PEOPLE WANTING THEIR EVAPORATIVE COOLERS SHUT DOWN AND THEIR FURNACES FIRED UP. THEY HAVE SEVEN HEATING AND COOLING TECHNICIANS WHO ARE ALREADY BUSY AND COMING IN ON THEIR DAYS OFF.
HUDSON SAYS WITH NEW MEXICO’S UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER, IT’S FEAST OR FAMINE IN THE HEATING AND COOLING BUSINESS…AND RIGHT NOW IT’S A BIT OF FEAST. HE SAYS HIS COMPANY WILL BE BUSY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS AS THEY TRY TO CATCH UP.
