"We recently had our HVAC system replaced by CoolRay Heating and Air and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. Mike Ritchey, our sales representative, conducted a thorough evaluation of our existing system and clearly presented several replacement options tailored to our needs. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and worked diligently to provide a competitive and fair price. The installation was led by Rollin Tappin, who, along with his team, demonstrated professionalism and care throughout the process. They completed the work safely, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. The new system is functioning perfectly, and we greatly appreciate the high level of service delivered by both Mike and Rollin. We would confidently recommend CoolRay Heating and Air to anyone in need of HVAC services."

"I had called a different company, scheduled a pro to change the main spigot outside which was damaged & rusty. I made an appointment for 12pm-4pm and about 11pm the pro called and said he couldn't make it today & would I reschedule for Monday. I called his office and told the scheduler that he had called to try to reschedule & she offered to get another pro. I said "No, I will try another pro". I called Ragsdale and the pro came straight over, changed the pipe line from inside to outside, added a new spigot and was done in less than an hour. I would highly recommend this plumber and I will only call them next time!! Thanks Ragsdale!"

"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 been using “ANYTIME” heating and cooling for over two years, and the customer service is top-notch, the service technicians first class, and the office staff along with managers are all about servicing the customer not just on “price,” but seeing the Job through until completion. Moreover, I’m a stickler for details and cleanliness and “ANYTIME” along with all of their staff whether entering your home for the first time “ANYTIME’S” service men have their shoes covered, work systematically done as to NOT scratch floors or damage your personal property. Every year they come out to my home to service 5 units as my home is over 9,000 square so keeping costs down is important and having proper heating and cooling for my most precious possessions is my family…they are number one in my book, and so is “ANYTIME” heating and cooling. They have the best price, the best service, and some of the latest and most advanced technology in the business to help families save money without compromising staying warm or keeping cool in the hot Georgia summers. I give “ANYTIME” heating and cooling a 5 STAR RATING ALL AROUND! Thank you, “ANYTIME” heating and cooling my family and myself appreciate all that you do. Rob K. Alpharetta Ga."

"NATS responded the same day that I called them and picked the computer up at my home. Several days later, Mike called and stated the service to be performed, ensuring the size of the replacement hard disk drive, and provided the approximate cost. Within a week (Memorial Day weekend was during this period), Mike delivered the computer back to my house. I was pleased that Mike had not only reloaded Windows 7 (I had to input my own product code), but he had also spent the time to download and install upgrades to Windows 7."

"I called Mr Parham and he responded very promptly. When he arrived he was very professional. He gave me a very reasonable estimate on the cost to have the compressor replaced. The parts were ordered and installed as promised. I have also used him to have the thermostat replaced in my refrigerator. My washer was leaking water, he also fixed that also. All these were separate house calls, and each time Mr Parham was also professional, and on time and did the work as promised."

"Let me say at the outset it was a satisfactory experience.  When I first called to make arrangements I was told that the price that was quoted, which seemed like a great deal was for only one air handling system.  We live in a 2400 sq. ft. home with two systems, up stairs and down. I can't remember what was quoted for the 2nd system. Seemed like a bit of a bait and switch Anyhow, we went ahead thinking that we would all breathe easier and there would be less dust since the ducts hadn't been cleaned since we moved in 20 years ago.. The guys showed up and went to work without much conversation.  I asked a few times how the vacuuming system worked etc. After they had been working for an hour or so I tried to befriend the two guys to get a little more information about the process and what we could expect when it was completed.  Finally we bridged the "lack of conversation" gap and we ended having a good conversation.  They were good guys and knowledgeable, but you wouldn't have known that at the start.  I don't have any way of knowing the ducts have been cleaned since we haven't noticed any changes.  I would say they were a good company and the guys were good guys and worked hard.  We just got off to a rough start.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Ball Ground, 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.
