He was VERY professional and communitive during the whole process. The other companies' mis diagnosed my issue and quoted me WAY more than 5280 did. Cody, Rick AND Jacob all assessed on how to remove my old AC condenser, removal of my a-coil and disposed of it. They proceeded to install my new condenser and Cody explained to me on what they were doing on each step and overall, it was a GREAT experience that I had with ANY outside vendor.

"I cannot begin to thank Josh enough for the work he did on my home regarding my upstairs bathroom. Everytime we took a shower in the bathroom the water would leak and we were super concerned because the water was starting to drip from out light fixtures and started creating pockets and puckering.on our hallway walls it was seapimg between the wall and the paint. We were super concerned as we.tried having another handyman and a plumber to help.us diagnose the problem. Both recommended a complete overhaul of the bathroom and charged an outrageous price that we couldn't possibly afford at the time. Luckily for us Josh reached back to us when we initially started looking for a handyman. Josh told us he had a lot of experience regarding these matters and based on pictures of his previous work we felt very confident he could help us. We were already under the impression we would have to redo our tub and he offered a reasonable price if that was the case, however Josh really secured our confidence when he told us it may not even be necessary. He was really methodical and did his best to not to demolish the wall to get access to the pipes of the tub and shower. Fortunarely he localized the issue to a leak from our pipes and saved us thousands of dollars that we thought we would have to spend. It seemed like hard work, but he had it fixed by the next day and we haven't had a problem since. I highly recommend Josh regarding any work on your bathroom. If I wasnt selling my house I would have him re-do the whole bathroom based on his previous work and the quality job he did for our bathroom. I can't thank him enough!"

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.
