"This company is extremely predatory! A family member had an hvac unit installed approx 4 years ago and every year the heat would not function properly and would switch to auxiliary emergency mode and was told "it's too cold to run properly." It never was frozen over.ot just wouldn't turn on! She has lived in climates with -20 degree winters and 20 year old appliances and never had the heat not work due to it being "too cold". During the summer, her AC never pumped out cold air properly and was told "it's too hot for it too work properly." Literally every few months she had the unit "serviced" and would have to call back when it stopped working again. The unit had a 10 year manufacturer warranty and each time she had someone come out she was told parts and services were not included! Each time she had to fight with them to say she has the warranty and didnt have to pay. She was also told no one could service this equipment other than them or it would void the warranty. After contacting the manufacturer of the unit, they said that was an out right lie and when we brought that up to the technician he admitted that she was told a lie. We were told the owner would come and assess the unit personally but never showed and only sent techs. Only until she mentioned her son in laws dad was a retired general contractor and was going to send in one of his guys to check the unit did they finally find the problem they couldn't seem to find the last few years. Had she not fought about the warranty, called traine, and spoke with family, this company would have charged her over $800-1000 each time they came out to "fix" the problem. To do that to a older widow is disgusting and people should be aware of what this company does to it's customers. We will also be reporting to them better business bureau and to trane."

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.
