"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.

"The two men who came to install the new panel were polite, professional and dedicated to getting the job done the right way. They encountered some unforeseen issues when installing the new panel, but that didn't stop them. They simply fixed the issues, or found a way to work around them. They ended up being here almost the full day, which is a testament to their work ethic and getting the job done correctly. Good communication with the home office. Very nice people. Very friendly. The only improvement I would suggest is that they make the cost estimates more clear. The estimate they e-mailed was rather confusing to follow and somewhat ambiguous. Other than that, quality products, great work, friendly service and great price for everything they did."

"The service was fantastic. These guys are the best. They were very thorough and gave good suggestions on how to improve the efficiency. They sealed things up and caulked and put in weather stripping. This particular crew has an inspector that checks the work. The inspector said I really enjoy checking this companies work as he said they are very efficient and they do great work. They were very nice and knowledgeable to work with. This was part of a program in Connecticut where they will replace up to 40 light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs. They will change out light fixtures with LED lights and the cost was far better than I could have gotten myself. They run a test before the work is started and then they do a test afterwards to show how much more efficient your home is. They give a report showing how efficient your home is and making other suggestions. They also give you discounts on making your home more efficient within a certain amount of time from the report."

"Choice was fast, efficient, and kept me posted on the progress of the claim. Although the water leak issue was discovered on a Friday, they had a plumber there to investigate by Saturday morning. When it was determined that the 20+ year old heater needed to be replaced, the replacement ordered, on-site, and installed by Wednesday morning. I am glad that we opted for the Choice Ultimate plan as other than the initial $65 service fee, all but one $50 ancillary expense was covered."

"We recently had a complete roof replacement. Before proceeding, we did comprehensive research of area companies and Vista came out on top, with good reason! All appointments were not only on time but were extremely punctual. We met first with Product Specialist Holly, who was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. While at our home assessing the proposed job, Project manager Rick explained the entire process in layman's terms. The day of the job, Project Supervisor Marc arrived early and went over the entire job with the crew. All company representatives left us with a business card with their cell #'s to call if we required anything. The installation crew was amazing. They arrived early and began immediately. They were no nonsense, very focused and, worked like a well oiled machine. All Vista team members were polite and respectful of my special request to be cognizant around some of my more cherished trees & shrubs. Vista was fastidious in their care for my home and lawn, not one speck of debris was left behind. Vista, the installation crew, company representatives, everyone, exceeded our expectations. Vista stands behind their work and products. If you wish to relax after a major home improvement project knowing the job was done correctly, you will want to consider Vista. Dan & Kim Belchertown"

"They actually cut (very neat) holes in the basement furnace runs to reach up with chimney-sweep type cleaners and powerful vacuums. They also went down every register and cold air return in the house doing the same. What impressed me was that two these guys went way beyond what any technician from my furnace company (who I'd had an annual clean / inspect contract with for years ever did.) I had reported to my contracted techs that my blower fan was making a strained sickly noise for a couple years. They told me just to wait until it died and it would have to be replaced for ~$1,200. They also had told me that my 'state-of-the-art'(20 years ago) Lennox furnace would probably need to be replaced soon. The guys from Affordable Restoration,LLC took out the blower motor, showed me all the dust and dog hair and estimated that is was 90% occluded which was straining my blower motor, plus all the air to my house was coming through all that dust. They then cleaned and lubed the fan as well as an area of similar debris around a/c condenser unit within the furnace.  This clearly had never been done by my service contractors which I find despicable as clearly in their best interest not mine. Yes, the very neat holes were then very neatly patched but will remain easily accessible for future cleanings.The whole process took ~ 4.5 hours and did cost me way over what the cost of the coupon that drew me in, but I also feel that the maintenance they ended up doing saved me a new blower fan (and extended the life of my furnace) as my newly refurbished fan is now purring happily and quietly.  The guys also installed an ultra-violet light system (as used for sanitizing in hospitals). I would've never thought about doing this, but with our allergy sufferers and knowing how devastating a systemic mold problem would be I decided it was worth the ~$500. They also offered a good 'preventative package':  they will come back every 2 years to replace the ultra-violet light bulbs and do the same cleaning for $300. It's too soon to say how much this will help with allergies but to see the amount of dusty debris that is no longer in our system is a relief to me.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Ballouville, CT

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.
