Owner-Operated, Every Call
Angel Hernandez isn't in a corner office. He's on the truck. The owner diagnoses, quotes, and often repairs personally. You aren't handed off to a rotating roster of strangers.

Why Air Control
Operational DNA, not marketing polish.
We've spent 35 years figuring out exactly how Southwestern New Mexico breaks heating and cooling systems. Then we built a company around fixing them right the first time.
02
True 24/7 Emergency Response
When you call at midnight on Father's Day or Memorial Day morning, a real person answers and a real technician shows up. 1 to 2 hour response target across Las Cruces.
03
Desert-Hardened Knowledge
Three decades in Southwestern New Mexico means we understand dust-clogged condensers, short cycling from 30°F nighttime swings, and attic ductwork baking at 150°F.
04
Honest Pricing, Period
Transparent estimates upfront. No upsells. No surprise line items. The price we quote is the price you pay. That's how we earn the right to be your contractor for life.
05
Parts on the Truck
Service vehicles stocked with the most-needed repair parts before they leave the lot. Most diagnoses lead to a same-visit repair, not a callback days later while your family sweats through a Las Cruces July.
06
Full-Lifecycle Partner
Install. Maintain. Repair. Replace. Air Control covers the entire system lifecycle, from AC and furnace installation through seasonal maintenance, emergency repair, and water heater service.

Services
One contractor, every call, for the life of the home.
From a 2 AM emergency to a planned full-system replacement, we handle every stage of HVAC ownership in southern New Mexico.
AC Repair
Same-day diagnosis. Most repairs handled on the first visit because we stock parts on the truck.
See details
AC Installation
Right-sized for desert conditions. Manual J load calculation that accounts for elevation, orientation, and Mesilla Valley microclimates.
See details

Cold-night safety calls and routine heat pump tune-ups. Emergency response on holidays and after hours.
See details
Ductwork & Insulation
Attic ducts in the Mesilla Valley hit 150°F. We seal, insulate, and re-route so the cooled air actually reaches your registers.
See details
Water Heater Services
Hard water destroys water heaters faster here than anywhere else. We install, repair, and replace tank and tankless systems.
See details
Air Duct Cleaning
Inspection, vacuum extraction, brush agitation, and component cleaning. Sized to the desert dust load, not a national average.
See detailsSheet Metal Fabrication
Custom ductwork and transitions for adobe homes, mobile homes, and additions where off-the-shelf components don't fit.
See details The story
Started with one technician on the truck. Still is.
Air Control Services didn't start as a franchise play or a corporate expansion. It started with Angel Hernandez, a technician with 35 years of hands-on HVAC experience. He saw what homeowners in the Mesilla Valley actually needed: a contractor who shows up fast, explains what's wrong in plain language, charges honestly, and fixes the problem so it stays fixed.
Operating from 1945 Cruse Ave, Air Control has grown into the trusted residential HVAC contractor for Las Cruces and Doña Ana County, with expanded service into Luna, Sierra, and Otero counties. We run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because in a Southwestern New Mexico climate, HVAC failure isn't a scheduling convenience. It's a safety issue.
