"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"We wanted to try a local contractor and came across Evergreen by chance.  It was an excellent experience.  Thad was knowledgeable and professional and easy to work with.  The crew was exactly the same.  Nice, respectful, competent.  The worked around my crazy schedule as we had other improvements going on.  They had a slight delay in getting the generator as there was a back order, but called and let us know and we worked around it.  Laurie in the office was equally good and kept us in communication on details or things to do and schedule etc.  I could not be more happy with the experience on such a big purchase.  They were always accommodating and helpful.  The Generator and switch were high quality and I think the price was fair.  They even did some easy side things for us for no charge.  We will definitely use them again soon to install an attic fan."

"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."

"New installation went well. I was a little upset that only 50% was covered being that the unit was 19 years old. I'm sure that parts for something that old would be hard to find. Replacement was recommended."

"I used them through a big deal on Angie's List. They did an excellent job. I think they sent three guys. They told me that it wasn’t worth replacing my dryer. They were very nice and very helpful. They went beyond what they needed to do. I would recommend them. The price was whatever they were offering on Angie's List for the special. The price and quality was great. Their responsiveness was very good. I would absolutely use them again in the future."

"We've got American Home Shield. So that kinda varies but united air temp has done some work for us. Probably a couple years ago, I think so. I think its two years ago. They did work on our air conditioning. Well you know with American Home Shield you only pay $75.00. You sign up for a year , its like something you subscribe to.  You call and contact American Home Shield and they have somebody contact you whose in line with their services and agrees to work with them. You pay $75.00 and if its not done correctly for each visit but if they come back twice you don't pay again. Its like 400 and something a year. Its fabulous, its fabulous. If you need plumbing , H VAC, lighting, its amazing. Its worth every dime. And if they can't fix it they replace it at no charge unless you want to upgrade There are some different companies but even when we refinanced our house they had us, no we bought another house in Winchester for our son. And they made us have it in with our policy and they use American Home shield. its fabulous and you don't have to do the searching or anything, If you aren't happy you just tell American Home shield. One time United Air Temp tried to talk us into , they did some plumbing work too, and they were going try to talk us into replacing it with a cheap model. That isn't American Home Shield policy its with the same thing or you can pay to upgrade. Pay the balance of an upgrade. We use it all the time. When my son has issues with his house I tell him just call American Home Shield. They guarantee they will be out within 72 hrs but its usually within 24 hours. We contacted them last week about my son's air conditioning. They came out right away, they had to order something. They had to come back out and they did last Wednesday and they fixed it."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Banco, 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.
