"Anytime Heating and cooling was awesome. I called to see if they could come out to see what was going on with our furnace. It was the coldest day of the year! Our home is over a 100 years old and the furnace was once a coal furnace but converted into gas. It needed a part replaced. No other HVAC company had any experience working on our type of unit, but Anytime knew exactly what to do! We are so grateful for them and will continue using them as long as we own our home. I would definitely recommend them for your HVAC needs!"

Tiger Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning, & Electrical Services takes pride in being your preferred local plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians! In fact, more homeowners in the St. Louis Metro East & Central Illinois communities we serve, say they would call us again before any other plumbing, electrical, heating, or air conditioning service!

"My technician Keith was great. Friendly and super informative. Also too a quick look at the entire drainage system and gave my an idea of where problems will pop up the future without preventative measures (my home was built in the 50s and while the previous owners took really good care of the house nothing has been gutted and replaced yet)."

"Never ended up getting service. Was told they’d be here between 12-2pm was messaged at 1:36pm saying the technician was caught up at another job that would take him another hour, that he’d be out at our place at 3pm. At 3:24pm still had no tech show up and never received anymore of an update. I messaged them saying that he was still not there that this was very unprofessional. I then received a phone call from the company and instead of being apologetic and explaining the situation he said they would not be coming out anymore after telling them that they were unprofessional after never showing up at the times they had given us. The lack of communication was horrible! So unless you have all day to stick around the house and just be there whenever they decide to show up I would NOT recommend this company"

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs

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.
