"Great customer service! Josh and his team (Kevin and Chris - installers) were great from the first phone call until the house cooled down! Professional staff, took every precaution to keep our house clean while they worked, cleaned up afterwards....very customer focused. They met every timeline they provided. The ladies in the office staff were super friendly. Of note, it took a few days before we could get system installed. They delivered and installed window units in the den and bedrooms to get us through the hot days. All i all, a great experience and we can't recommend going anywhere else."

"As always, Merryman's speed and integrity were tremendous.  The team found the issue (a blown fuse) in about 5 minutes, replaced it, then continued with a cleaning of the wires feeding the fuse and a cleaning of the evaporator coils.  We will never use anyone else to work on our HVAC system except Merryman's.  They are the most honest and dependable contractors that have ever worked on our home.

"Matt and his crew were on time, professional and on time. We first called a big name company that you may see on the back of a truck. Well that company quoted us $10,000-$15,000 for less work; at that point it was ONLY the furnace. I called Matt for a second opinion. Obviously, he quoted me for half the price of the back of the truck company WITH the water heater added in. Total work done: replaced furnace and outside unit, replaced water heater, installed water pump, installed 2 EcoBee thermostats. The big name company was ONLY doing the furnace and outside unit. We will call Matt for our future needs."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"Paul and Andrew diagnosed that the back porch lamp had a rusted the socket.  They went to a building supply store, bought a similar fixture to the one that needed to be replaced, and were back quickly to install it.
They worked efficiently and professionally and were very personable. 
They also gave me a quote for what it would cost to replace the other outside light fixtures, which was very reasonable.  We will be calling them again for future electrical work.

"Called DM Select after an A/C repair person with another company called to postpone a second service call because he could not find freon for my unit, saying he would call when he did. DM gave me 3 time ranges to come out the next day for a free 2nd opinion diagnoses, so I saved $95 on that, although the $95 would have gone toward any work done. I was called 30 minutes before Christian's arrival. He was very knowledgeable, professional, patient and explained a variety of options. My heating and A/C units are 13 years old. He explained why this unit may not last as long as the previous unit which lasted 22 years. Newer units are made of a lighter metal but are more efficient. The freon used in my unit is being phased out by EPA, so difficult to find and can be expensive. (I had recently read something about that online). He had this freon on his truck so I didn't have to wait for him to find some and return at a later date. A clear advantage of working with a larger company. Christian gave me the pros and cons of just adding sealant for the leak (which he said appeared to be in the coils) and freon: may last 1-3 years, will depend on use, the condition of the unit and size of the leak. When the system ran out of freon the coils warmed up releasing a lot of water down through the heating unit and onto my basement floor. There was a lot of water but it dried after a couple of days after the unit was turned off. He tested the heating unit to be sure water that leaked through it did not damage that unit. Works, at least for now. Christian gave me options with pricing: adding sealant and freon was, of course, the least expensive so I went with that. The price was $50 higher than the quote given by the other contractor, but it was worth it having them come to my house the day after I called with the sealant and freon. Other options included replacing the coils (there is a waiting list for these older coils and they may not be available), replace just the A/C, or both the A/C and heating unit. I decided to wait hoping I could get another few years out of them. I appreciated DM Select's quick response. Wish I had called them the previous week as my A/C died at the beginning of a very hot few days."

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Amissville, VA

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.
