"I was a bit surprised by the final bill. I indicated that the Freon might be low and he quoted me the price per ounce of Freon. I asked him how much of the refrigerant I would I would need. I was by weight and and I just had to go by his word that it took 4 ounces of refrigerant which costed me almost $400. He also recommended me to get sealant injector which cost me another $275. Overall I had to shell out around 675 $ along with the initial for $35 for For maintenance charge strangest list. I expected that I would not be charged for another $35 for maintenance if I payed so much for the actual work. Overall I think it was very expensive job and let’s see if the sealant does its job or not before the gas runs out."

"Estes has been providing my service for approximately 10 years. Always prompt, courteous and very accommodating. They recently (June 2019) replaced my hot water heater and installed new HVAC system. An awesome crew performed the installation and was very thorough in explaining all of the new components to me. Also the gentleman who came to my home when the unit needed replacing was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and insured that all of my questions and concerns were addressed before he left."

"Their service has been competent and professional. Since installation, I've used them twice annually to do routine maintenance checkups, and they're competitive, call before they come, and arrive within the stated window. Over some 20 years, I've had a good experience with the company staff and its technicians and their work. I would consider them for bids on replacement systems as needed. Description of work: Annual maintenance service on both A/C and furnace. Previous systems replacement. Thermostat replacement."

"It was great dealing with everyone here. I contacted them for a quote to replace our kitchen sink and alter the drainage pipes below. I sent pictures and described everything I wanted done and they were able to give me a very reasonable quote and scheduled a time to come out. Everything went as expected and the work was done pretty spot on with what they estimated. We'll definitely contact again when we need something fixed!"

"There was very little work to do. They came out on time and I was happy for the professionalism, but there was nothing to do because it's a brand new system. The service is free for a year. I could have had them come out in April to check the air conditioning system, but since they just installed the unit in April, I didn't bother, but it would have been free. This fall, when I called him to check the furnace, he thought he was coming out to check the air conditioning, I said, "no, you're here to check the furnace because I'm going to be using the heat this fall". He said, "no problem" and he checked that out, he said, "I feel like I'm not doing anything, I can still check the air conditioner", and I said, "if you want to, but I've been running it all summer and it's been great". I asked him there was a charge and he said, "no, the first year was free"."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Atlanta, GA

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.
