"Briggs Heating and Cooling has been our go to provider since we renovated our home in 2005. They are experienced, supremely responsive and personable professionals who truly care about their customers. They go out of their way to get it right. We have trusted them so much that we introduced them to my elderly parents’ home years ago. My parents have adopted them ever since. We have had several projects this year alone, some routine maintenance, some much more complicated. Each project was handled the same way. First, my parents have an old AC and “Trevor’s guys” come out every year to service it. Their gas heater required a new switch which, because it was an old unit, took a lot of effort to find and replace. Next, our newer AC had a valve malfunction, and Briggs’ went way out of their way to properly diagnose the problem. As a precaution, we received a second opinion. Not only did Briggs’ diagnose the problem properly, they fixed it at about a quarter of the cost that the other service provider would have charged. Most recently, a couple of weeks ago, a leak was detected in my parents’ newly installed gas fireplace logs which Briggs had not installed. They met me at my parents’s home within an hour and had it repaired in another hour. And their prices are always extremely reasonable. This is small business done right. In northern Virginia, they are a breath of fresh air."

"Reddick & Sons replaced my interior and exterior HVAC units after the old system stopped providing heat in December. They identified three different replacement HVAC system options across a range of prices and capabilities. Once my decision was made, their office arranged for a technician to take measurements. He efficiently reviewed the situation prior to the day of the installation. On the day that the work was done, the installation team provided advance notice of their arrival. They laid down plastic sheeting to cover carpets, wore PPE, and accessed the work area through the patio and basement to minimize direct contact during COVID. The work was completed on-time and within budget. The team gave me the HVAC product brochures and registration information, and I was able to register successfully for an extended parts warranty with the manufacturer. In the future I'd be very happy to have Reddick & Sons provide regular check-ups of the HVAC system."

"THANK YOU SO MUCH to Climatic Cooling and Heating for installing our new AC unit with better pricing than anyone else, amazing staff and quick and accommodating timing. Sonny was so kind to come out and explain everything to us prior to the replacement and install. I am so grateful you all were recommended to us and could not be more impressed with your team and their work. John was our technician and the team he had was wonderful, clean, knowledgeable and polite. We will definitely use you again for future needs and will recommend to anyone who will listen."

"McCarthy's tech and office provide quotes for repair and replacement alternatives for my gas furnace, on a Saturday morning. They arranged for a replacement gas furnace financing before the technician left, and scheduled install for early next week. Thanks guys."

"I actually found them on Angie’s List. He is punctual. I used to use somebody else and I was always standing at the door looking at my phone, looking at my watch to see if he is going to show up on time or not. The driver for Lisa’s is generally at my house five to ten minutes ahead of time waiting for me."

"My Jaguar had been doing quirky things like downshifting to second gear, flashing the engine light, flashing parking brake on, etc.  I read a lot about the symptoms and was prepared to spend a lot of money based on what I was reading.  ABS was able to track the underlying problem without replacing parts.  The job was completed quickly after I explained that I needed it on a certain date.  As a woman, I feel comfortable that I am not going to get ripped off anytime there is a problem...although I know we are not the only ones who get taken.    I am happy that someone recommended ABS when I was stranded on the side of the road.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Broad Run, VA

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.
