Handyman ready to improve your household problems.

"Tyler is very professional and friendly. I needed some extra hands moving and getting tvs and furniture mounted and moved and secured. I explained what I needed once and he ran with it. Inviting a stranger into your home can be anxiety inducing but Tyler has a very calming energy and eased those fears immediately. Even the dogs loved him. He also went the extra step to hide the wires which I super appreciated. Would definitely hire again!"

Vogel Sheet Metal and Heating, Inc. has been installing and servicing indoor comfort technology for the St. Louis area for 50 of our 70 years in existence. We pride ourselves on understanding not just the technology and its proper application, but also our market, the scope of our work (read: no change orders for items we should have included) and the implicit need for service after the sale! HVAC systems are living, breathing systems that will greatly impact the positive experience of your client or your employees as they operate within your building.

"Vogel was amazing. I was somewhat hesitant because they are a bigger company, but Morgan, Brian and Tom all treated me like I was Vogel’s only client from the beginning. Morgan was exceptional not only with client service, but also with familiarity with the process and the products. From Brian emailing me over the weekend, being professional in every way, and providing exceptional follow up, I would recommend Vogel to anyone. My technician, Tom, went above and beyond, and I will request him directly going forward. His knowledge and understanding of HVAC in general, and his ability to diagnose the same problem with absolute certainty that several other companies had previously misdiagnosed was so impressive. Because of Tom’s honesty, he saved me from spending considerable costs on unnecessary repairs, freeing up funds for necessary repairs. To be able to trust a technician’s honesty, along with how you were treated by the entire team, is exactly what I look for in a service company. Thank you Tom, Brian and Morgan"

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.
