At Burton, however, we’re much more than a cluster of home comfort and safety services. We’re a group of people working on your behalf, 24/7, to help make sure. For more information contact Customer Service at customerservice@justcallburton.com

"Worst customer service I've ever received. Burton advertised a $149 snake for a main line. My wife called around 12'oclock noon to schedule an appointment. We were told a technician would be at our house between 1:00pm and 4:00pm. They never showed up. We called around 5:00pm and asked if there was still someone coming. They assured there was. No one showed up. Around 6:00pm we called back and asked if there was still someone coming. We were told this time an emergency had happened and a different tech would be out shortly. No one showed up. We called back at 7:00pm again to find out if someone was coming... The dispatchers put me hold, offered to send someone out for an after hours fee of $249 and if we wanted to get the $149 rate we would have to wait until Monday. I asked if there was any kind of compensation or discount since they wasted my whole day, they said no. I asked if I could speak to a manager and conveniently there wasn't anyone available. The dispatcher then very sarcastically said, "OK then honey, have a good night." With folks like that I'd hate to see what kind of actual work they perform. RUN!! Go somewhere else. Very disrespectful and unprofessional."

"We called Aire Serv out as our AC line was freezing and the air was not coming out cold. The tech who came out told us we need a new evaporator coil, and we have rust in the unit also. We asked what we could do in the meantime so we could stay in the house, he said he could put refrigerant in but we shouldn't cause it's expensive and it would just leak out. We decided to put it in anyway and see if we made it til the new coil got here. We were then informed that the cost of the coil and labor would be $1900 out of pocket and that was after the home warranty. We decided to get a second opinion (our AC was still working fine after three days). We had Elite come out and the tech informed us that there was a small leak in the coil, it didn't need replacing, just tightening and there was no rust. I run a dog sitting business out of my home and I had to cancel dogs for this week because I didn't know if the air would be working. They also charged $389 for 3lbs of refrigerant. I would find a different company, they do not care for customers at all!"

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.
