"From initial visit to final installation and follow-up, work was professional in all respects and met and exceeded all expectations! Would definitely contract with this company when it becomes necessary to replace our air conditioning unit!"

"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."

"I had Monster Steamer here last August to clean the carpeting (which is several years old) after I moved in. They did an excellent job then and just as wonderful today (June 16, 2015). My carpeting was in terrible shape after construction in the area had created a lot of dust and loose asphalt that came in on everyone's shoes. To make matters worse, my dog became ill and had several accidents in the hallway and bedrooms leaving pet stains. Ludo and his team steam cleaned my carpeting and now it looks new again. They are a very professional team and have good prices. They saved me from spending the money to replace my carpeting. I will definitely use them a third time. If they keep cleaning my carpet like this I won't have to replace it for years to come."

"I'm very happy with the work that was done by Landmark construction and energy crew. At first, we met with Ron that came over and met with us about the issues that we had with our water heater and with the bills that we currently pay for electric. Ron recommended us to replace the bulky old water heater and to install a tankless system that will supply hot water immediately and with the use of less gas. We liked that idea and we decided to go for this project. Ron came over to our house with his 2 people that basically took care of all the removal and the installation of the new system. The work that they did took only 2 days from start to finish and now we have more space at the garage, and the bills are much lower than before…."

"First of all The Plumbers sent out Jesse and Todd to finish the work here, were very Professional and took care in not ruining the tile work of sink and were very good at cleaning up after themselves and was pleased they wore booties coming into the house. Jesse made it a point to get this problem fixed and taken care of promptly while still being very professional and explaining what he was going to do every step of the way. I purchased the deal for $89 for $200 of plumbing work and figured it would be enough. Well not really the old fixtures were very old and rusted, the u joint as well as other parts on the bottom were so old had to be replaced if I wanted new fixtures the initial price was 369 in minus the200, halfway through the project after a lot of work it turns out that the old fixtures were not standard at all and were a lot more narrow in diameter than american standard, so to accommodate I would have to either find the narrow diameter fixture or have a person trained in marble come and open up the hole..I said I would try to find the narrow size, if I couldn't find they could special order narrow size and place them in and I would pay for the fixtures. Ok after multiple days and specialty shops there was no narrow size available. So we went with option B and had the install their own brand Turns out was still to big to fit hole and with no sink I figured why not and had them grind down and take the risk so the new price including the fixtures was $769 including the $200 From deal so total was $969 pretty pricey, I am assuming I am paying 100 per fixture as I am using theirs. The Guys were Very professional and understanding regarding the size of the fixture holes. All in all if I had to do it over again I would have kept my original fixtures, maybe hired a handyman. But who knows how that would have turned out."

"The HERS audit consisted of a home inspection that mapped the exterior, listed all appliances, HVAC, Water heater, etc. They also performed and Door Pressure Test and Duct Leakage Tests. All these figures were placed in a computer model and the output was provided to me in 2 reports, an existing state and the impact of recommended changed on a future state. 
The testing procedures were interesting but the reports are the what you are really paying for. I my case my newer home was relatively efficient and the recommend changes addressed my comfort level concerns, but were all relatively expensive. Per the model, a majority of my electrical expenses are associated with my appliances, so energy savings were comparatively minimal.
Recommendations and Costs
1) Convert to "conditioned" attic space, requiring the installation of closed cell foam in the rafters of the attic and the removal of all existing batt insulation (~$7,00)
2) Install an ERV whole house ventilation system to provide continuous fresh air
3) Replace 5 existing double pane windows with 5 new triple pane windows (~$2,500)
4) Install open cell foam insulation in my south facing walls (~$3,500) when you include repair and paint walls
These recommendations will dramatically improve the comfort in the upstairs, but ultimately energy saving paybacks are many years. I plan to implement recommendations #1 and #2. I also plan to install Solar to stabilize my electrical bills.
Jim, the owner of Healthyhomes4u was great. He answered all of my questions and helped me to prioritize my home efficiency improvement projects."

"A pleasant experience from start to finish. The quoting process was a good two-way discussion, and cordial - no pushy salesman telling you how bad Company X or Y was. Just honest, factual, and straightforward. They quoted us a system with the panels, racking, and inverter which we wanted, not what they were pushing. The quote wasn't the best (hence the 'B' for price) but it did offer the best VALUE when we considered the equipment specification and the stability of the company - an important consideration when looking at a system with a 25 year life! The installation was scheduled by our coordinator, Sherry, and the team showed up when promised and got the job completed on time. Quality of workmanship was first rate and the entire installation was done with care, and tidied away before the team left. Permitting and PG&E inspection were all handled by Sherry, and that was also quick and flawless. Overall, the system they installed easily meets their projections in terms of performance, and it effectively pays for itself. We really couldn't be more pleased with NRG Clean Power and have recommended them to friends and neighbors. We'd recommend you give them your consideration if your looking for solar power."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Borrego Springs, CA

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.
