We look forward to working with you!

"I asked NCB Mechanical to assess my central air conditioner. When the technician arrived I described the problem. My coil had frozen up and there wasn't any airflow through he evaporator coil. He immediately said he knew what it was. He said the refrigerant was low. He said he would add a little refrigerant to see if that would fix the issue. He never checked the evaporator coil. He added an ounce or two but the refrigerant temperature would not go above freezing. So he asked me if I wanted to keep adding refrigerant. I asked him if I should and he said it was up to me. After adding two pounds of refrigerant the temperature of the refrigerant was still below freezing. I told him to stop adding refrigerant. He said he would only charge me for the refrigerant and not the diagnostic fee. The refrigerant is $180 per pound so I ended up paying almost $400 with taxes. The technician should have checked my coil and provided better advice instead of putting the decisions on me."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Albuquerque, NM

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.
