".We had Metzger,s do a furnace tune up a while back. The tech. doing the tune up showed me rust inside our 28 yr old furnace and explained it would need to be replaced soon. We received 3 estimates from local contractors including Metzger,s. We went with Metzger,s due to having them do furnace tune ups over the years and getting good service. We also had the most detailed estimate given by Chris Nuyen. We liked that he took the time to check and see what size equipment we needed. Chris was here as project manager & contact person  during the install with Tony and Dale who were pleasant and hard working. Chris also helped remove and replace some ceiling panels to keep things moving smoothly. He kept us informed before and during the install.Chris completed all paperwork for the rebates and tax credits available for the furnace and A/C.This was very very much appreciated. They did excellent work.They cleaned up when done.  Highly recommended.

"Tummons was one of six estimates, after one company stated that we would need to replace the air cooling unit. The rest all quickly stated that we needed to replace the unit. Tim wanted to check the unit prior to moving forward on a replacement. He found a way to fix the unit and saved us over 2,000. HIs integrity and knowledge was greatly appreciated.

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

"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."

"We don't use them for repairs because they're too expensive. They do subsequent cleaning services. I have an older home so it was a little bit tricky. They were very professional and they were a very capable group of people. They knew how to work in the older homes around my area. They clean up after themselves and they explained all the features of our new furnace. That's an investment too. Since it is an older home, they did replace some of the duct work and they did a fine job there too. Sometimes its a little bit difficult with all the nooks and crannies in an older home. They've managed to maneuver it into the areas that we needed it. They took the time and they were willing to explain all the things that they were doing before they did and the layout of it after they did the work so we understood exactly what they accomplished. We got to choose the heating system we wanted and because of the age of our home, we had to specialty design some of the duct work that had to be replaced. They're really good. They've been around the area for years. They're very expensive when it comes to service calls and repairs. They were competitive. There are a few competitors out here. Everybody was pretty much in line. I wanted the type of furnace that they were offering. We did our research and they had the best model. With the service call, they were $80 walking in the door. The products that they sell are carbolic products, they don't have to come in often. If they do it hurts a little bit. Its  little bit more expensive when they have to come in and fix."

"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 Bedford, MI

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.
