ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE)-A heat wave surges through the metro area with the possibility of record temperatures in the net few days.

Its supposed to reach 99 or 100 degrees, in the valley Tuesday.

Summer has set in in Albuquerque and it has heating and cooling businesses slammed.

The phones have been ringing off the hook at Daniels Heating and cooling.

Our calendars are pretty booked up. Weve got about 20 calls that were going to each day this week. and then we have two installs going on each day, also, said Daniels General Manager Michelle Rhodes.

Rhodes said ever since the heat kicked in, they have seen a surge in calls, everything from tune-ups to repairs and switches from swamp coolers. Even with six technicians and two install teams, Rhodes said they are already booking appointments into next week and making repair calls a priority.

We do try to triage kind of our appointments and take care of the people that dont have any cooling, explained Rhodes.

While some are trying to stay cool inside, others are braving the heat.

Im from Louisiana and I cant stand this, Wynne Hendry said.
