"Their technician, Justin came out and assessed the situation, quickly discovering the true source of the problem: the wire bundle that connects the system with the thermostat on the wall and been chewed through by rodents apparently, and this was causing the system to quit. He offered to replace the wiring and do a service on the roof mounted AC condenser unit, which we agreed to. Total cost was a fraction of what we had paid the previous company to not even discover or fix! We would wholeheartedly recommend the services of this excellent company."

"I recently had both of my AC units serviced by Just Be Cool Supply LLC, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Dyon and his team were prompt, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. They arrived on time, were well-prepared, and took the time to explain what they were doing without rushing through the job. Everything was handled efficiently, and the quality of work was excellent. What really stood out was their honesty and approach. There was no upselling or pressure, just straightforward recommendations and fair pricing. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about helping customers rather than just making a quick sale. Dyon is also doing something special beyond the business itself. He actively mentors young people in the trade, helping them build skills and a future. That kind of leadership says a lot about the integrity behind the company. Overall, Just Be Cool Supply LLC is reliable, affordable, and highly professional."

I saw the display at Costco regarding new furnace and air conditioning units.  My wife and I stopped and asked for the low down.  We were told that Costco contracts out to a company in the area to provides the service. 

Our tired A/C unit almost gave up the ghost this summer and with winter around the corner I had no faith in our furnace.  Last year when the furnace turned on, the closet door would just about blow open.  The danger of a fire was a real possibility.  Our house is about 50 years old.  The furnace is the original unit.  The house was built with a swamp cooler.  The A/C was done about 20 years ago.  Needless to say not state of the art.

For safety sake we decided to plunge in and go with a new system.  I checked with another contractor and was not to thrilled with the bid.  So, the next trip to Costco we stopped at the display and asked for some info.  They forwarded us to Jeff at Rowland Air.

Jeff called and set up a date and time for a walk thru.  He was right on time and smelled good too.  (hold it, I think that's the Plummer)  He looked over our equipment and came up with a viable option for a replacement.  We sat down and came up with a price and a possible time frame.

They had options to finance the work but we don't borrow money.  I told Jeff that we had some money saved and that it would take us  a month or so to save up the rest of the cash.  There was no hard sell.  He mentioned that bids only last for a stated length of time and that he would call me later to see when we could move forward.

To make a long story longer, it took us 2 months to save the cash for our project.  Jeff called twice, and by the second call we had our project fully funded.  Jeff's next trip to the house we signed the contract and step a date for the install.

This has little to do with the story, just a side note if anyone cares.  We went to Costco to pay for the installation.  This was just a little aggravating because I didn't want to carry 11000 dollars in cash to the store.  I was just going to put it on my ATM card.  I had more than enough cash to cover the purchase.  At the store they wanted to split the purchase in half and ring it up as two purchases.  It doesn't matter too me how this gets done, as long as it's the same price.  Well, it mattered to my credit union.  Half of 11000 is 5500.  Turns out there is a 5000 limit per day on my card.  I got on the cell phone to the credit union, which didn't have reception inside the warehouse.  I went outside and got on the cellphone to the credit union.  I was told this was not a big deal and we could make this work.  They approved 5000 sale.  I went inside and made the purchase.  Back out to call the credit union, they approved the 5000 sale.  Back inside, made the purchase.  Back outside to call the credit union, they approved the 1000 sale.  Back inside to make the purchase for a total of 11000.  I know all this is in place as a security measure.  I appreciate the credit union looking out for me.  The sales people at Costco were very nice.  Jeff understood and was accommodating.  There was just a lot of monkeying around.  That said, I hoped this wasn't a forecast of things to come.

The day of the install arrived.  The crew showed up right on time.  Everyone introduced themselves and shook my hand.  They looked around and got right to work.  The outside equipment was gone in a flash.  The duct work in the attic was out in no time flat.  The new stuff was off the truck and out of the box real quick.  Removal of the old furnace had a little hitch.  I did mention that the house is almost 50 years old and this was original equipment.  It turns out that the floor the furnace was sitting on was in terrible shape.  As they pulled the unit out, the floor gave out.  The unit tipped out of the closet and fell against the hallway wall.  Thank God that nobody got hurt.  The wall took a good dent and I have a doorway opposite the furnace that scraped up the molding around the door.  I realize in life, bangs and bruises are going to happen.  That's life.  What happens next is what's important.

And what happened next was this.  They called the office and reported "the incident."  Jeff was out in a flash.  Jeff took a look, he called Frank.  Frank took a look they both jumped into action.  They checked the home improvement stores, came up with a new molding for the door, patched the wall, matched the paint for the wall.  Patched, painted done in no time flat.  Maybe better shape when they left than before they got here.

On the other side of hall, the crew removed the old damaged floor.  Built a new, reinforced floor.  Cleaned up the closet and readied the equipment.  In the attic they had the new duct work installed.  I think if the floor hadn't been an issue the job might have been done in one day.  They told me it would take two days when I signed the contract.  As far as I was concerned, they were right on time.  When they left the first day they picked up the floor coverings, vacuumed any dust, took all the trash with them.  It was almost like they were never here.

On the second day they showed up on time and got right to work assembling the equipment in the furnace closet.  Everything went smoothly.  They were almost done before lunch.  After a quick break to eat they got back to work and I had hot and cold air pumping out of the vents in no time flat.  A final tune up to make sure everything was working properly.  They cleaned up everything and off they went. 

Each and everyone was professional, polite, they all introduced themselves and shook my hand when they first showed up and when they left.  They knew what they were doing.  I asked several questions about stuff.  I got answers to my questions every time that indicated to me they were well trained and knowledgeable in their subject matter.

My wife and I are both very pleased with this company and the work they did for us and would recommend them to anybody.

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"Steven was the technician that initially came and inspected my unit. Turns out the previous owner had a dog that constantly urinated on the AC unit and the damage worsened over time. I was a bit skeptical at first but after research found that this is a very common occurrence. Steve was very detailed about my options and after a few estimates from other companies I went with his company NRG. I purchased a new Goodman AC unit and a new condenser for a bit under $4900. The installers were 3 different techs who were professional, tidy and thorough. Once the new unit was installed it was 80x's more quiet than my previous unit and the house cooled down beautifully. I definitely would recommend using this company."

"It’s been a while that I wanted to have a company that can come over and check the house for any problems that increased my monthly bills and to fix them at a normal price. I came across this company and I scheduled a meeting with Ezra and Charlie to come over and see/check. Ezra and Charlie checked the house for more than 2 hours and they found out that some of the windows were old and needed to be replaced with new ones. In addition to that, they recommended me to remove the water heater and to install a tankless system that will provide me with hot water only when I need and by having that, my bills will be reduced.The Quote that I got from him was good enough (to my opinion) and I retained them for the job. The work that they did proved to be good one and I see that in my monthly bills. It was a 2 weeks work and I am completely happy with my decision to hire them."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Acton, CA

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.
