"Mr. Bamford is an amazing gem. We have hired him repeatedly for different projects, and he ALWAYS goes above and beyond. Whether it's working over 15 hours straight to make sure we had hot water for the next morning, pricing out all of the alternatives to get us the best deal, or just popping by when we call to check out the issue and see what it will take, his service is above any provider I've ever worked with. I highly recommend him, and am grateful for the excellent service he provides."

"Not well. After lots of discussion examination, etc. Repairs were suggested but no definitive quote provided. Instead they recommended replacing the whole system at the cost of $28,000 plus!"

"In Nov. 215 I had Mr. Foster, Sr. over to repair a leak in our kitchen sink due to a cracked fitting around the sink basket. He corrected the piping from the garbage disposal that I had replaced recently, but this put torque on the sink basket so that it didn't quite line up with the drain hole. the repair held for a while, but eventually the putty was displaced and it started leaking again. Mr. Foster warned me that this would be the case, and that I really needed the whole under-sink area re-plumbed (this was because the new disposal was slightly larger than the one that it replaced.) I told him we'd do so when it started leaking again. Mr. Foster mentioned this would run us about $400. Flash forward to about March 2016, and the sink started leaking again around the basket. I called in early June and requested service. We had been dealing with the leak for a few months by using a dishpan and only dumping water down the other basin. (because we were unable to take off work to be home for the service call) They were really swamped with HVAC service, but we were able to have the work scheduled for mid June. Mr. Foster Jr. completed the work in a few hours and tested everything to make sure everything was water tight. They made some recommendations about increasing the temperature on our hot water heater to reduce buildup in the pipes. The job was much less than what Mr. Foster, Sr. had mentioned, so we were pleasantly surprised. The Fosters were very polite and professional and cleaned everything up afterwards. Would love to have them in for another job in the future. They work out of Nottingham/Perry Hall, so it's gratifying to support local business."

"I initially called Shaffer Plumbing and a Plumber came out to assess the situation. We were told that our cold water line was leaking and our old water heater needed to be replaced. The Plumber 1st repaired the leak and replaced valve. As we supplied the water heater the Plumber returned a few days later, installed the new water heater, cleaned up beautifully and removed the old water at no additional charge!!"

"Made initial appointment 5 days in advance. On the appointment day, I phoned early afternoon to hear that my repairs had not been scheduled. Plumbers then arrived within the next hour, or so. Fixed leaking valve leading to the main line, and "snaked" bathroom sink. Took photos of tub/shower valves to order a replacement unit and gave an initial price estimate $240). After 10 days, never received a return phone call. Called office to receive a return phone calls explaining that part had not been ordered, and that there was an estimate of $625 to install a new valve unit."

"

My 1952 house was not equipped with a vent, nor proper traps for either the washing machine or sink. There were sewer gases backing up on occasion, into the sink area, which is of course unpleasant.

Robert installed the traps, then came back to add the vent to the outside of the house. He did not have to go through the attic and roof. The end result looks like it was built with the house, and blends in well with the exterior.

He responds to my need for help either instantly or within 24 hours, is professional and knows his business. Anyone he hires is up to his standards, and those are very high. Having a reliable and qualified plumber is key to survival, and for that need, I go to Robert!!

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Abingdon, MD

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.
