"This is the first time I have gone to a mechanic outside of the dealership or Uzi's Autohaus and it was such a great experience. 
Tony made me aware of the work that did or did not have to be done.   Such Peace of Mind.
When i asked to have a stainless steel tip installed on the car's tailpipe, they went above and beyond in making a picasso out of steel - so beautiful.  
And Justin drove me to the park and ride - excellent driver - conversationlist - so great.  
 Honestly, if I was blessed with more than the (3) brothers I have I would wish for them.  
I would highly Colony One (and a stainless steel tailpipe tip if your car is not equipped with one already).  Their business is a credit to the Stafford/Sugar Land vicinity.

"They first brought in and attempted to install the wrong (lower level) model but the job boss caught it and they brought in the correct one. Then they couldn't get the thermostat to work but came back the next day and got it working. The next week the thermostat read 3 degrees higher than the set temp, next day it was a 4 degree difference, next day the screen went blank. They came out within an hour and fixed it but didn't seem to know what was wrong. Seems like the problem is with the American Standard product though. Cuccos was quick to fix the problems and very polite and clean. But also, the Angie's List page says they give a 10% discount to seniors and I didn't get that - when I asked, instead the owner offered 5 years free maintenance."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"They did a great job. Our house smells and feels so much cleaner. We had some water damage and needed our roof replaced so a lot of water in the house. So glad we got this done. We immediately noticed a difference."

"After getting bids from many companies I decided Berger Home Services best suited my needs. Met with David Berger on 2/22/16 and he gave me a comfortable bid on expected work. The color of the new gutters were initially a hangup but was soon rectified. Mr. Berger made an appointment for 3/8/16 and they were installed that day. The workers arrived on time and even worked in the rain to complete the job. I got to see the new gutters in action and they worked great. The screens they put in drained good. And this was a hard rain that fell too.

"Excellent service and installation. Although I got a slightly lower cost estimate from a local competitor, RAS was used because they have provided excellent replacement and repair services over the years."

"Excellent... Green Leaf Air honored a Angie's List deal ( even though the deal was a few months old). The installation was made complicated due the age of my system being replaced by new equipment and technology. But Dale the installer.. with his expertise and long experience, did the job expertly, professionally and efficiently. I highly recommend this company."

"James came out and did an energy audit on the house. He was pleased with what I had already done but suggested radiant barrier and the solar fans as good additions to the whole picture. After discussing it I also added the access ladder to the attic. It had an opening but no ladder and I wanted it for easier access.
Carl scheduled it and came with the crew who installed the radiant barrier and the insulation. Carl stayed and replaced sheetrock and they prepared it for painting. Came back the next day and finished the job by adding the two solar fans after sanding the putting on more mud on the sheetrock repairs. Once it dried he painted it. He came at 2 on the second day and did not leave until he finished at 5. I hope he made it to his child's program which was at 7.  He did a very good job. I really appreciate the work James, Carl and Brooke did to keep the job on track. 
Brooke made sure communication was good between all everyone and the job went smoothly.

Thank you. I would recommed them to anyone who wants this done.

"I Scheduled Alfred  to come out to do the annual preventive maintenance. on saturday, due to time constraints on my part,  we agreed that he would come out the next day sunday (- normally doesn't work on sundays).  That night the AC wnt out .  Alfred came and Cleaned, drained, and tested AC unit.  He was able to replace the Compressor Start Assembly and the Dual Run Capacitor, topped off the refrigerant, and even repaired duct transition in attic.  Alfred explained the warranty on the parts replaced and offered a credit if compressor fails and I have to replace the whole unit within time limit.  He always explains thing to me and gives me a choice to repair or replace. He never tries to "sell" me something, just tries to keep the system operating efficiently.  I know it will need to be replaced someday, and I would only have him do it.  He is always professional, friendly, and pleasant to work with.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Bay City, TX

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.
