"Excellent!! Brandon was very patient and kind explaining new units and helping us make a decision. He said we could call him anytime, which we have done. He always answers promptly and politely. He even made an extra trip to provide temporary fans and another trip to help us with the thermostat. The installers were timely and swept after they completed the job. We have no complaints. Highly recommend!!"

"Owner Matt visited last spring to do a routine service check. He was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient, and great at communicating what he was doing and why. I signed a service contract, fairly priced for market. This week, my A/C stopped working during a FL heat wave. He responded within minutes to my text, and gave me helpful tips on things to check. The next morning, he scheduled his employee Bob to arrive within a 45-minute window. He was punctual and efficient: Within 5 minutes of arrival he diagnosed the issue (bad capacitor on condenser). Within another 10 minutes, he had a replacement in hand, checked to make sure it was covered by warranty, and installed it, then checked to make sure the house was cooling (it was) A paid invoice was in my mail inbox immediately. These two were timely, knowledgable, professional--and frankly, the most efficient workers I've ever had at my home of 20 years."

"Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Paul did a redesign of our system to increase efficiency and then installed an all new system, including new ductwork, added returns, and thermostat. Our house is cooler than ever, and our electricity bill went down significantly! I’ve recommended these guys to several other friends now, and all have had fantastic work. Highly recommended!"

"I’ve been using Independent Air Conditioning since 2012 and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Bernie is friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, committed to customer service and, above all, a truly honest businessman. Bernie will let you know when you’re A/C needs service but, more importantly, he’ll also tell you when just an adjustment or minor repair will suffice. As a Realtor for almost 30 years I’ve seen more than my fair share of A/C companies and Independent A/C is the only one that I recommend to clients, friends and family without hesitation."

"He was very professional and explained what he was going to do as well as provided a written quote when he came out, before he did the job. None of the other professionals I called or were recommended by Service Magic would come out, they would only provide a generic quote over the telephone, even after I told them I had unusual issues to deal with at the house."

"Owner told me that it would cost around $700 to fix a bearing that went out in my front-loading GE (not very old) washing machine due to the very poor (inconsiderate) engineering design by GE and that I should rather use the $$$ to replace it at the store of my choice (with another brand) than have him repair it... Now THAT is honor in a business situation.

"Our install was difficult, but went very well. I had hired Bowen to service our existing 15 -20 year old unit, and they helped us keep it running for 3 years until we eventually had to bite the bullet. They replaced the unit with a much more efficient York unit with a 10 year parts and labor warranty for a very fair price. They had to manage through a narrow attic access, but got the job done and we could not be happier. The owners and technicians consistently provided honest answers and met their commitments (time and price), and we would highly recommend them. Finding a small business owner that really understands customer service can be a challenge at times, but we got lucky 3 years ago, and i am glad we started this relationship."

"Perfect! Our unit was old and shot and we had been putting off a replacement as long as we could. Finally it went out for good! Joe was the first to come over and give us an evaluation and an estimate. The others wanted to wait till after dark or the next day. They beat all the others prices on a new a/c. Their Tec's Michael and Julio were here early the next day and worked non-stop till the job was complete! Polite, respectful, professional, and caring! They answered all of our questions and concerns! It has been a few days since the install and everything is great! I can't say enough! Worked with others before on our properties but these are the only one's from now on!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Boca Grande, FL

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.
