"AC quit. Referred to Larry's by neighbor's plumber. Had received a quote from another company for $9300 AC replacement following their inspection. Other company's tech said there was leak and freon could not be replaced anymore. No longer available. Within an hour, Larry's sent Jerome who did a very thorough inspection, was here well over an hour, put in 1.5lb freon, replaced another part...I can't recall what...and AC blows cold again. He said it looked like system had frozen probably from low freon level, and there possibly is a leak somewhere, maybe only microleak that would require recharging every year or so. He advised that we monitor and call if necessary to investigate further. He advised that we nurse this one as long as possible because new units are not made like the old ones... thinner metal, less quality control, and all the usual things associated with modern appliances. Cost was $250+/- for inspection, part, labor and freon. Will definitely call again when needed."

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs

Generally, a swamp cooler only uses 15% to 35% of the energy that a traditional central air conditioning unit utilizes. However, swamp coolers also require water and may not cool a home as effectively as an AC unit. They’re more efficient in terms of electricity usage, but when you factor in effectiveness and water usage, it's tougher to argue which unit is more efficient.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry climates because they cool by moistening the air. If the air is already moist, this will have little, if any, cooling effect. Central AC is a better choice if you live in a humid climate, such as the Midwest or 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 is between $100 and $300, depending on the issue, if you need new parts, and who you choose to do the repairs. Depending on the type of pad your system utilizes, you’ll need to change out pads every one to three years for proper operation. When budgeting for the cost to repair a window unit, expect to pay around $200.

The U.S. Department of Energy says swamp coolers may 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 like the American South. It's easier to cool rooms in humid environments with central air.

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