"All three jobs went great. For the water heater replacement Lewis came to my house at a convenient time for me, removed the heater changed out the rotted pipes and installed a new one with warranty. The price was great too. This job was time sensitive and he made me a priority to get it done. For the bathroom tub drain unclog he was very professional and did a great job. My garbage disposal was leaking and I came home to a pool of water in my cabinet and on the floor. Lewis came out quickly to resolve the issue for me. He replaced everything under the sink and showed me what he was doing each step of the way. I think that he is a great plumber if you want to get quality work and learn about each job too."

"However, as of Monday it will be almost a week since I have heard back and the only feedback I got was a promise to get back to me by the end of the day with a quote after I EMAILED HIM!
I have had so many handmen and contractors not call me back, or are unavailable. I was really excited to find someone and get started.
I felt like it shouldn't take this long to get an estimate on the work and I would rather be told straight forward that the project would not be big enough or the schedule did not work. If I am having this much trouble getting an estimate, what about the work?
We are trying to decide whether or not to put our home on the market and this price weighs in our decision."

"The initial visit was on schedule and completed in a shorter time than I expected.  However, the $69 price (while advertised to only cover a certain number of vents and returns with additional charges) went to $810.  I was also offered an additional product which I felt was worth it (the UV light) at an additional cost so the complete total was $1309.  This was MUCH more than I anticipated and when I pressed, the price dropped to $699 which I thought was a great deal since the work also came with a warranty of a flat fee the next time they came back for maintenance in 2 years and was transferable to the next owner if I ever sold the house.  So we went ahead and I was very pleased.  At the end of the work, I was told that they liked to come back and check on things after a week and I was going to be home so it worked out well.  I never got that call for the follow up.  What I did get was a phone call telling me that the part they had ordered had taken longer to come in than originally anticipated and it was now available for installation.  WHAT? "So, you're telling me that a product I paid for and thought was installed a week ago was never installed?" This was the first hurdle.  So I set up an appointment for their return and went to look around my basement for evidence of work that had not been completed or openings on my furnace.  What I found was that a sweatshirt had been left behind and there were big chunks of metal on the floor. 
When the second team came to install the UV light, I followed them to the basement to make sure what I paid for was installed.  Comments were made that I had one of the cleanest basements that had been seen and he was looking around my basement, honestly, in a way that made me feel like he was casing the house to get back in later.
Once the work began I returned upstairs.  I was then informed that the part that had been ordered was incorrect and they had to run out to a local store to get the correct one. (Why this was not done on the original visit, I will never know) They returned to say that since it was a holiday (Martin Luther King Jr Day) the store was closed and they would have to come back again.  (Really? you didn't call before you drove there?)
We once again rescheduled for a Saturday since I was not taking any more time off work and they came and installed the missing part.
I raised my service concerns through Angie's List email and my chagrin that they were now offering the same deal but for $169 and unlimited ducts and was provided with a callback from their dispatcher that indicated "offers cannot be combined" which I understand but my bigger issue was with the level of service (and I use that word loosely).  She said that she would see what she could do and I have never heard back.
I gave management a chance to speak with me about this situation before I posted an honest review and they have never contacted me.  It makes me wonder if my service contract will even be honored.
So my advice would be if you contract them, make sure you know exactly what you are getting, how much it will cost, watch to ensure that it is actually completed and if you don't like the price...just ask for something else.  I was willing to pay much more than they offered but it's interesting that my hesitation dropped the price almost in half.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Bradford, RI

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.
