"Great! Tech was timely, helpful and explained the work done. Helped with checking to make sure the installation was done properly. Cost is based on yearly contract ($180 total, included 1 AC and furnace check up, priority over non-members, etc.)"

"Hired this company to install new furnace and air conditioner. I was impressed with Mike the salesman, he worked with me to make sure I got the best system that I wanted for our house. My biggest concern with picking a company out to do the installation. Any retired HAVAC person will tell you that you can buy the best products, but if not installed right you are going to have problems. Don and Dwayne did an excellent job making sure everything was done right the first time ( no shortcuts ). Company stands behind their installations with a guarantee, that is important. I like that everything start to finish was one price, all listed on estimate before work began. I will continue you use this company for regular service and highly recommend them. They want to earn your repeat business not just make a quick buck off of you. Thank you John Berea,Oh"

"Matt and his team were incredible. Not only did he come out the next day to quote me on a new AC System install, but he was responsive to text and emails, professional and VERY reasonable on costs/install for a new system, compared to other local HVAC installers. Within a week, I was able to get my system replaced and am very happy with the level and quality of service and professionalism from his guys. Miro was the main technician who handled the installation and was efficient, courteous and took the time to explain everything. A+ and 10/10 Highly recommended, I will certainly be using him again for any and all my HVAC needs!"

"They were quick, through, did a great job and cleaned up well. They even we above and beyond to make sure to correct prior mistakes from the last person to make sure it was set up the proper way. They even made sure that they got me scheduled quick and that I was going to be ok with alternative heat sources."

"The first time they came, they were polite, professional, honest, and he did a good job. It was a good price. He helped me out and answered my questions. He showed me something about the filter that I needed to know. He was right there on time, I think he was a little early too. I would definitely use him again, he went right to work. It wasn't long at all, maybe a half hour or 40 minutes. He was very helpful."

"Excellent work, great customer service. Very prompt in coming out to meet our loss if heat needs. 23yo Carrier unit definitely needed replaced as technicians explained in terms I could understand. Very fast response for an estimate which was reasonable based on needs and expectations. I was given clear options on the replacement and now understand why I chose the furnace I did. There was no effort at all to sell me things I didn’t need yet always open to discuss any option. Scheduling installation could not have been easier. They even offered to come out early but my schedule couldn’t be adjusted. They were here promptly at 8am Saturday morning. Very professional and personable. They always had time if I had a question. They explained the new thermostat and ensured I knew how to work it. They finished 2h earlier than estimated and the area is more clean than when they started. I would completely recommend this family owned business. It is clear they stand behind their work and take pride in their name and reputation."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Akron, OH

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.
