"A Raving Review for Green Mechanical LLC! If you’re looking for the absolute best HVAC service around, look no further than Green Mechanical LLC! This company is truly a gem, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible service they provided. My heater had been misdiagnosed by another company, leaving my family and me in the cold—literally! Thankfully, I called Green Mechanical LLC, and they completely turned things around. From the moment I called, I knew I was in good hands. Devin Green, the owner himself, came to my house to personally assess the issue. This level of dedication and care is something you just don’t see every day! Devin’s professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine commitment to solving the problem made all the difference. He didn’t just slap on a temporary fix or rush through the job—he made sure to thoroughly diagnose the issue and explain every step of the process to me. A huge shoutout to Jacob and G, who also worked on my system. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful of my home. Their teamwork and attention to detail were top-notch, and it was clear they take immense pride in their work. Thanks to Devin, Jacob, and G, my heater is now working perfectly, and my family can finally enjoy a warm, comfortable home again! I also want to emphasize how important it is to support small businesses like Green Mechanical LLC. These are the companies that truly care about their customers and their communities. Devin and his team are local experts who go above and beyond to deliver top-notch service, and they deserve every bit of your trust and business. If you need HVAC services—whether it’s a repair, installation, or just regular maintenance—do yourself a favor and call Green Mechanical LLC. Their commitment to excellence, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service make them a company you’ll want to recommend to everyone you know. Thank you, Devin, Jacob, and G, for your amazing work and dedication. You’ve earned a lifelong customer! 🌟"

"Raynor Services NJ. I'm addressing my aha moment experience . I wouldn't recommend because of the pricing and what I was I told by Raynor's electricians. Remember I'm not an electrician so I'm looking for someone to guide me, the professionals. During my new life lesson learned January 1st even for a holiday this is high but Raynor sticking by their quotes and will even provide your financing. WOW, you would have to with those charges! Thinking let me go local would be the best, totally wrong. Raynor ask for your credit card up front, thinking back my first mistake. Hhhmmmm.. I have only had a company ask for a credit card upfront when they are ordering a part for me from what I recall. They charged you for walking thru the door, no problem. Then have your sign to review your issue, yes you don't have to I'm told but again I'm not an electrician, did the electrician not know what was going on? I have a 11 year old electrical panel, yup pretty new one would I thought. Well I had no electricity, the guy is asking me it must be something more that is going on I thought , not just the main breaker? I called originally stating the main breaker is not working. The electrician should of stated to me let's get your electric back on with the price prior to seeing if anything else maybe wrong but again you are at my house to see what is wrong? Apparently this was my fault to have someone review my electrical panel which took 10 minutes to do and I was billed $467.09 which included the walk in the door fee. January 1st , my first "got you" clause of the year. I called customer service and spoke to two women at the company and they spoke to me nicely, wanted to give me a free warranty. I'm thinking in my head , for what? Kerri who also works for the company was so nasty to me on the phone, she was the final person I spoke too. I repeated myself several times and received the same story from the company on how you go to the doctors and what my doctor charges me. Kerri even told me her electrician will be right out to pick up their cable and they did. I really thought going off of Angie list I wouldn't feel so taken. Finally I had to interrupt her several times to say what is my bill and she didn't even know and said you will get an email. One of the workers from Raynor even told me the prices are high and yes a lot of people complained about the same issue your are complaining about, OMG!!! The electricians are all young men. I was told by one of the company employees I am handling it well and I'm a very nice person, imagine that. After talking to 3 different people on the phone from Raynor still charged $467.09 and no breaker. The price they wanted to charge me after the work completed is $1,140.26, for service and a breaker, less then 1/2 hour job. They also wanted to sell me a new panel/ electrical system because mine was reading to go and I didn't have quality electrical panel installed. I had water coming through my electrical line, I was like really? It would cost me over $2,000.00 for a new panel and all new breakers, I was informed of this prior to my electric coming back on. I had so many red flags and even called my contractor and he couldn't believe it. As I was told by the company the electrician didn't have to check my service but then again how do you find out the problem? The electrician spent 10minutes to review the problem and 10minute to put my electric on, let say 30 minutes, charged $467.09 and still more money for the main breaker and service. This is the email I sent to the company after talking to 3 people pretty calmly about their charges. EMAIL:.To who it may concern , Please confirm service fee charge, I received a 2nd email but not clear, it states I still owe. It is unfortunate and your employee did come back to retrieve your cable from me today. For a single circuit breaker along with service would cost someone over a thousand dollars is not responsible even on a holiday. To charge someone over $467.09 to step through my door and tell me what is wrong even on a holiday is priced high. We already knew it was the main breaker I addressed this when I placed the initial call and spoke with Chris when he came out. Maybe your guy should of stated to me let's try the breaker first? This was not addressed to me at that time. It was addressed to do a diagnostic test , as a customer I felt that is what was needed. I was also told I needed an entire new system and the outside tubing I think you call it would need to be replaced. My unit is not even 11 years old, insane. Also begins over spoken too by Kerri was concerning. Stephanie and Cheri did speak to me kindly but the high price never changed. I have done business with many companies and lived in neighborhood for over 20 years and I have not come across an experience like this. I would hope the charges will not even come to $467.09. If so very unfortunate and lesson learned. I have never had a company I couldn't work things out with and I have only had one other company complaint in the last 20 years, not bad on my part, we were able to negotiate. I was offered a free warranty package from your company but this was to keep my business but saw no problems with what I was charged? Disheartening. Yes after all this I had a new electrician come to my house and guess what all I need was a Circuit breaker I did not need a new panel/electrician system. Imagine that. No reply to my email and spoke to 3 people. Kerri stated since I was not happy with the service he electrician will come back and disconnect the work they had done and they did.

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.
