"I was very happy with the installation and have no issues with the technician. Jake is competent, professional and provides great customer service. I have asked Coolray to keep him as my preferred technician whenever I need service on my furnace and/or a/c unit."

"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."

"I've used Ace & A for 20+ years for both heating and air installations and service. The staff is helpful, reliable and competent. I always have annual service check-ups, and they're good about keeping older equipment running smoothly. When the time comes to replace my systems, I'd definitely consider using Ace & A."

"They were very professional in presenting various options for the installation. The time between order and install was then 36 hours, and day of install the crew arrived on time and completed with the scheduled time frame. Mr. Ashby personally did a follow-up visit to ensure our satisfaction. We would without question hire them again."

"My home has stamped ceilings so I was very nervous about the project as I heard from multiple electricians that it would be very hard to match the ceiling pattern and there would be a scar of sorts - one electrician wouldn't even do the job. Joe and his son-in-law arrived and gave me a couple options for running the wire, he also told me there would be a few cuts.  I really wanted a fan installed so I decided to move forward with the project.  Three cuts were made in the ceiling (I cringed every time!) but Joe kept the damage to a minimum. The fan was installed and the holes where patched back up.  Once he put some caulk around it and I went over it with ceiling paint you can barely see the damage - my dad couldn't even tell where the holes were cut!   Very pleased with the outcome of the fan installation!  
Would recommend Kalahari to anyone looking for electrical work and will def. call upon them again for future electrical needs!

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.
