"Excellent service from John Moore! This review goes across the board to capture all those involved from the initial call for service to the final step of installation/replacement. We’ve used John Moore Services for several things in the past three months and once again they did not disappoint. Great customer service, pricing, speed and efficiency in installation!

"I highly recommend Matthew and his crew, if you are looking for HVAC work to be done. My wife and I just purchased this house built in 1989. The HVAC configuration in the attic was either original equipment, poorly patched work, or equipment that was not compatible with the new air conditioner. I had gotten in-person estimates from 3 other companies and here's what made me go with South Belt: Matthew understood that my wife and I had a tight budget, so he clearly provided us with what COULD be replaced and what NEEDED to be replaced. Matthew's crew worked fast and were very courteous. Our system now works far better than I expected it would."

"They first brought in and attempted to install the wrong (lower level) model but the job boss caught it and they brought in the correct one. Then they couldn't get the thermostat to work but came back the next day and got it working. The next week the thermostat read 3 degrees higher than the set temp, next day it was a 4 degree difference, next day the screen went blank. They came out within an hour and fixed it but didn't seem to know what was wrong. Seems like the problem is with the American Standard product though. Cuccos was quick to fix the problems and very polite and clean. But also, the Angie's List page says they give a 10% discount to seniors and I didn't get that - when I asked, instead the owner offered 5 years free maintenance."

"DAVID HAD TO RAISE AND RE-HANG THE HVAC UNIT FROM THE RAFTERS OF THE HOME AS IT WAS INITIALLY INSTALLED IMPROPERLY.  THE UNIT NOW DRAINS PROPERLY INTO THE PLUMBING SYSTEM.  HE ALSO DISCOVERED A FAULTY HEAT LIMITING SWITCH ON THE FURNACE - NOT A MINOR ISSUE - AND REPLACED IT AND TESTED THE SYSTEM.  FINAL COST WAS MUCH LESS THAN HIS INITIAL ESTIMATE.   DAVID IS ALWAYS ON TIME, VERY POLITE, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFESSIONAL ABOUT HVAC SYSTEMS, AND VERY REASONABLE IN HIS PRICING.  I SIMPLY WON'T USE ANYONE ELSE FOR MY HVAC NEEDS AS THIS COMPANY IS SIMPLY THE BEST.

"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."

"They did a great job. Our house smells and feels so much cleaner. We had some water damage and needed our roof replaced so a lot of water in the house. So glad we got this done. We immediately noticed a difference."

"They said they ran out of hot water and left my carpet smelling very bad. I had paid them $364 which was to include deodorizer to shampoo 5 rooms, a hallway and 11 steps. They told me that the bad odor would go away after about a day or two. There were no heavily soiled areas or stains. They did come back on redo, but on return trip, they sprayed the bacterial spray but did not re-shampoo the carpet first."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Alvin, TX

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.
