"The very Worst customer service I ever dealt with. The first time they came out the guy didn’t even say two words to me. I had to ask all the questions he should have been talking to me about. My main problem was my fire place and he told me it was fine. Never even turned it on to check the problem I was telling him about. I Decided to have them order the part I asked for and fix it. Knowing what I needed. That was last week. They gave me appointment time for today between 2-4. 4 came around and no call , no one here, nothing. I called the office and tried to explain that Communication goes along way. I am Aggravated and Julie that answers the phones can care less. She don’t need to call, she don’t know when the guy will be here and tells me we can return the part and not come because I am aggravated. Not once did I raise my voice or curse at her!!! Ask to talk to the manager and he tells me oh that’s not Julie I will ask her and that waiting 2 hours with no phone call is not a big deal and neither is my fire place.. WOW I did curse at him at the end... NOT SORRY!! One thing if you are going to own a company and have people work for you learn how to communicate and have customer service.. And you wonder why your company has bad stars???? ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️ If I could have gave 0 stars I would.. This place is a joke!!!!!"

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.
