"I was thrilled with the professionalism and how quickly this company was able to get to work. They found a simple solution to our problem and fixed it. Another company gave us an estimate 10X what we paid with PlumbTite for many unnecessary items. Unfortunately the post project clean up was not to my liking as there was sewage spill all over the basement floor after the crew left (our house smelled like sewage for weeks after) otherwise I would be able to give all 5 stars."

One Connection.®
"If you care about your home, do not use Handyman Connection!! I made a huge, expensive mistake by contacting them. I had quoins that needed to be grouted at the top of my house, and William with Handyman Connection did the sloppiest work grouting. There is cement that dripped out from the quoins because he apparently used too much water while mixing. The cement dried to the bricks on my home and it looks atrocious. They tried sending another company out to fix the issue, and the gentleman said if he used a machine to remove the cement it would break the bricks off my home. He refused to touch the mess William created. See the attached pictures for how a professional did the grouting at the bottom and how William trashed the top. He clearly has no idea what he’s doing and Handyman Connection is doing nothing to fix the problem at this point. Instead of offering a refund and letting me pay another contractor outside of Handyman Connection, Earl, the owner of Handyman Connection, is sending back William, who messed up the project from the start. I did not pay to have expensive stone put on my house for this unqualified company to mess it up. After putting off coming to fix the issue for a couple weeks, William cancels today when he was supposed to come over to fix it today. He is so unprofessional and I am disgusted with this company in their work. I have been dealing with this issue for so long without resolution. Handyman Connection offers horrible service and terrible work. Never again would I call Handyman Connection to do any project on my home."

Logan Services has recently been chosen as the top HVAC company in Northern Cincinnati by the readers of Cincy Magazine. Our company is proud to be family-owned and operated and has been in business since 1969.
"Our experience with Logan Services was very disappointing. I told Andy (the Logan salesperson) in person and in writing that we would like to keep our analog thermostat, instead of getting a new, smart thermostat (we already have a smart thermostat for an existing system, and we prefer the analog functionality). He said of course. On installation day, the installer informed me that the new system required a smart thermostat. So we had to accept a new, smart thermostat. The detailed quote Andy provided for the replacement of our A/C and heating units included a manufacturer rebate and tax credit that would be refunded to us after the installation. The system we selected would be eligible for a $1400 rebate and a $1200 tax credit on our 2024 return. Three days after our installation, the Logan office called to follow up on the new system. I asked at that time how I could claim the manufacturer's rebate, because there wasn't a form or application in any of the paperwork I received. I was told that Logan would apply for the rebate and I should receive it in 6-8 weeks. It is now more than 8 weeks later, and I have not received anything from Trane. Now Logan claims that the rebate must have already been applied to the cost of our system. This is not true. The price Logan quoted remained the same from the original quote to the final invoice, and it did not include a deduction for a rebate. I do not recommend doing business with Logan."

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.
