Legacy Home Services, your local HVAC and Electrical contractor, exists to return respect to the home services industry in New Braunfels. Integrity. Honor. Service. Reliability. This Home Services company will distinguish itself from others by the virtues with which we conduct every business transaction. Legacy Heating & Air Conditioning Services, LLC started in February 2013 in Founder Chad Briggs’ garage. With a passion for serving people, Chad aimed to build an organization of individuals who genuinely care for the people in the community. A servant’s attitude was paramount, prioritizing respect for the customer and building a relationship rather than treating them like a transaction. Legacy quickly outgrew the garage through its stewardship towards customers and the community. In 2018, Legacy partnered with Trane Technologies to provide the New Braunfels community with the most reputable residential equipment. In October 2022, Legacy expanded by introducing the Electrical department and rebranding as Legacy Home Services, all while maintaining its focus on serving others. Legacy devotes its energy to become the #1 choice for home services in New Braunfels through its 5-star online reputation, loyal Legacy Family Plan Membership customers, highly trained and caring Comfort Technicians, and caring team of internal support team members. Above all, we care foremost about treating our customers like we would want to be treated, and work to return respect to the HVAC & Electrical industries in New Braunfels.

"Chris & Sam were an amazing team. They were right on time and got the work done very quickly and efficiently. They went the extra mile to answer our many questions and trained us on using our thermostats. They answered our inquiries re options on future expansion of our system. They made sure we knew how to properly use our system to optimize its capabilities. We are seniors, and not techies at all. They explained our 3-zone system to us in terms we could understand and even installed an app on our phones to remotely control our thermostats. Chris was so patient with us. What a great experience."

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs

Swamp coolers are quite energy-efficient, using only 15% to 35% of the electricity that traditional central air conditioning units consume. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers require water to operate and may not cool your home as effectively in extremely hot or humid conditions. When considering overall efficiency, it is essential to weigh both electricity and water usage, as well as the cooling needs specific to your local climate.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry climates because they cool by moistening the air. If the air is already moist, this will have little to no cooling effect. Central AC is a better choice if you live in a humid climate, such as the Midwest, eastern, or western coastal regions.

To install a swamp cooler on a roof, a local HVAC specialist will first find and cut a spot free of wiring and obstructions. They’ll then install metal bracing, legs, brackets, the ceiling duct register, ductwork, power, and thermostat wires. Once installed, they’ll seal all openings, attach duct connections, and install a thermostat. Before leaving, they’ll run cool water piping to the unit and inspect all the connections.

The cost to repair your swamp cooler ranges from $50 to $600, depending on the issue, whether new parts are needed, and the chosen repair service. Depending on the type of pad your system uses, you will need to change out the pads every one to three years for proper operation. When budgeting for the cost to repair a window unit, expect to pay around $230.

The U.S. Department of Energy states that swamp coolers can cool a single room by five to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this largely depends on the size and installation method of the evaporative cooler. You can only achieve these results in a dry climate, such as the American South, as it’s easier to cool rooms in humid environments with central air.

Swamp cooler water usage varies depending on the size of the unit. Smaller evaporative units may use one gallon per hour, while much larger units could use up to 15 gallons of water per hour. Most homeowners can expect their unit to use between seven and 10 gallons of water per hour of usage.
