"I got 5 quotes for a new furnace and AC in Uptown Chicago and TDH was the lowest and most responsive. Tim responded to my questions and got back to me over the weekend. I hired them and they installed the new units that week. His team was professional and did a great job and I would definitely hire them again."

"The technician took great care of things. The installation date had to be rescheduled and it was okay for me. It took a little longer time than I expected, I guess he was probably doing some careful work I did not think of. They were accommodating for my request for upgrading to a bigger humidifier than they advertised and the price increase was reasonable. It turned out well. I have rehired them for a not-related furnace emergency work."

"    I purchased an Angie's List "Big Deal" on 3/25/2015 for a complete air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning from Veteran Air Cleaning Services, LLC.  I made phone contact with the owner Joshua Zajac and set up a cleaning date for 3/31/2015 between 12-2PM. I received a confirming phone call the day before and a phone call from Karl that he would arrive about 12:15PM.  Karl, (co-owner), and Nick arrived precisely at 12:15 PM.  They began inspecting my 16 supply and 6 return outlets, taking photos of the interior ducts. They also inspected my forced air furnace and filter.  After all this they came to the conclusion that I did not need a complete air duct cleaning at this time. They did make a recommendation that I use a RED HEPA air filter, instead of the BLUE, I was using, because the blue was more dense and restricted air flow, causing the blower motor to work harder and could cause a motor failure sooner.  Also, they said I did not need a dryer vent cleaning after taking photos inside the vent.
     To say the least, I was blown away by their honesty!!  They could have proceeded to "clean" my air ducts for 2-3 hours and I would not have been the wiser.  These 2 "GENTLEMEN" are a credit to their profession!  I wish all of our contacts with the professional trade were so good.  This company goes to the top of my list for any future needs in their field of expertise.
     I would recommend this company to family and friends!!

"It turned out that the ejector pump was OK, but the switch that controlled automatic discharge of the pump was not working. The estimate to do the work was quite high. ($653.00). Here's how it broke down: [1] Parts: (the switch): $193.27, [2] Labor: Remove Ejector pump from basin, install new switch, and then seal basin back up. Note: it took the plumber less than 1 hour to do this job. So he charged us $459.73 an hour for labor! This company must have neurosurgeons moonlighting as plumbers. We only agreed to this flat rate due to the emergency situation of water flowing into our basement when we did the laundry or flushed the toilet downstairs. Lesson learned: never hire a plumbing company that does their work for flat fees. The technician Steve was certainly knowledgeable and efficient, but his services do not warrant $460 an hour! This job should have only cost us about $400 at the most, not the $653 charged. I suggest that you do not use this company unless you don't mind spending a lot more money than you need to. To provide context, we completely replaced our ejector pump a few years ago and the cost was $500. Caveat emptor."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Buffalo Grove, IL

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.
