"“ Thought you should know” ELIE, Ras, Sergio and the TEAM did a wonderful job with a complete AC installation and Insulation. They were very attentive, answered all the difficult questions from someone whom knows very little about AC and made this a seamless process. It’s only day one, but very thankful you have wonderful staff at Kelly’s. I would use your services again and highly recommend Kelly’s. Just because of the TEAM in the field. Highly recommend them. No pressure. Just quality service. The Coopers"

"Excellent service from John Moore! This review goes across the board to capture all those involved from the initial call for service to the final step of installation/replacement. We’ve used John Moore Services for several things in the past three months and once again they did not disappoint. Great customer service, pricing, speed and efficiency in installation! Highly recommend!!"

"I hired another company to replace the water pipes in my attic last January and they made an unbelievably huge mess out of everything that they touched. The hot/cold pipes were switched on several spigot, my washing machine and my toilet; some spigots were cut off completely and I think they used the wrong size pipes as the pressure in the kitchen was extremely low. It was so low that I couldn't use the hose that I usually use to clean my fish tanks and turtle tanks. There wasn't enough water pressue to create suction to drain the tanks. I was having to use buckets to clean the tanks which is a HUGE, back breaking pain when you have a 125 gallon tank.
Steve at Great Texas has worked on several issues over several months fixing what the other plumber screwed up. This time Steve switched the hot/cold connections on an outside spigot since it was hooked to hot water by the other plumber--and I couldn't use it to water my plants. He also cleaned out the lines in the kitchen trying to get more pressure to the faucet and fridge. He figured out that the filter in the fridge was causing the low water and no ice in the fridge so I replaced that and now it works fine. I thought the ice machine was broken and was about to call a fridge repair person.
I also ended up buying a new kitchen faucet since the other was probably 35 years old and corroded. Steve installed thatand it is working great. I've got much better pressure and can use my hose to clean the fish/turtle tanks again. Whew.
Last year, when I had a leak in a pipe that caused my den ceiling to fall, Steve came out and patched up the pipe and didn't even charge me for it. When I discovered a water leak coming through the ceiling in a front bedroom at 10:00 pm, I left a message on Great Texas' voicemail and Steve called me back that night to tell me how to turn off the water. He came out the next day to fix it. That leak turned out to be water overflowing the AC pan---which he was able to fix because they do AC work too.
I call Great Texas when I need any plumbing, electrical or AC work. They are very honest and won't tell me that something needs to be replaced if it doesn't. I've been ripped off by so many other contractors, I really appreciate that.
I highly recommend them to everyone.

"Fully prepared to purchase a new condenser unit, I called Bellaire Air Conditioning & Heating for an estimate. They were able to come by the same day.
The two men that came (Charlie and Jerry, I believe were their names) were extremely cordial and communicative. Despite my insistence that I needed a new condenser, they patiently explained that the problem was not with the condenser but with several efficiency shortcomings in my home. In other words, they talked me out of spending money with them.
I'm extremely appreciative of this company's patience and willingness to help me save money.

I have a 2002 Camaro that's still in great condition thanks to Colony One --I've been a repeat customer for several years - as has my mom and her Toyota.  The technicians are courteous, skilled, helpful and honest -- if I hear a noise and they can't find a problem, they don't try to make up a problem that would require an expensive repair.

They have a courtesy vehicle that takes me home and comes to retrieve me when repairs are done, so I don't have to find my own ride or hang around all day -- very helpful.

As a 69 year-old 'little old lady,' I find it comforting and reassuring to deal with a business that treats me fairly and with respect. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs car work done --

"I originally asked Stacey for a quote last March, when I had to have some pipework done under the house and I thought I might be able to roll them in together and save some money. That didn't work out, so I had to put off the renovation. I recently had a hip replaced and am about to have the other replaced and it's very difficult to manage showers with the old setup. I decided to ask Stacey if he was available although it was very short notice. (I think he fit me in within less than three weeks.) Stacey's quote was $7500 and he stayed with this same price although six months had passed. The price included demo, providing and installing hardie board, laying the shower floor, building the shower frame, building a chair-height bench, providing and installing a new toilet and vanity, providing and installing a new light/fan/heat combination, installing miscellaneous bathroom hardware (that I provided - towel rack and toilet paper holder), installing a large mirror (that I provided) to replace the medicine cabinet, providing and installing new floor tile, new shower floor and wall tile including an accent tile, providing and installing new shower fixtures, providing and installed a new glass shower door, providing paint and painting everything that wasn't tiled including the linen closet. (I think that's everything!) The work took just shy of seven days. In everything, Stacey went above and beyond. (I was surprised that he worked with the crew and worked very hard.) Most of all, he managed my expectations very well. I was concerned about the shower door because the only kind I could remember seeing were the frameless, hinged style, and the sliding door he chose had a frame at the top and bottom (not in the middle). At first I really wanted those entirely frameless doors, but thank God he talked me down. In such a small bathroom, they would have been a nightmare. The towel rack that I ordered from that big online retailer arrived with the end open, and Stacey discovered that one of the screws was missing (and the hole stripped), so I'm guessing this item had actually been returned and then re-sent to me. Stacey did a workaround and it looks beautiful. He also was very helpful in guiding me with choices. There are so many choices out there in tiles and paint colors and EVERYTHING that I nearly shut down just trying to pick out accent tile. He provided paint cards so I could choose colors. Finally, he knew I had some blinds in my front window that I had installed improperly and now (recovering from the surgery) am not able to fix myself. He installed these for me as well! I just really couldn't be happier with the work. I highly recommend Calahan Construction. FYI, I asked Stacey if he does floor tile for the rest of the house (he does) and I am looking forward to working with him again on this project in the coming months."

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