"Butch called back right away. Came out in a timely fashion. Got one unit working. Then he said the main board was malfunctioning on the downstairs unit and would have to be replaced. It would cost 1200 or 1300. But if we spent a little extra on a service contract he would wave the trip fee and it would be 1100 something. Okay. We did that. It was too late for him to get the board that day so he came out the next day to install the board. But the unit still didn't come on. He said the thermostat was bad and it would we 300 to 500 to replace the thermostat depending on what we wanted. My husband told him we could do that ourselves. Just by pass it and get the unit working. Then he came down and said that the blower motor was out and it would be 1800 to replace the blower motor or 2400 to just replace the whole unit and then we'd be under warranty again. I told them I wanted a second opinion before we did that. I called Ed & Sons they came out, confirmed that we did need a new thermostat. And said they could rebuild the blower motor for around 100$. I ordered two new thermostats for 300 for both of them and my husband installed the thermostats. The work they did was fine. But I felt like they were more of the school of let's just replace parts until it works or we can sell them a new unit. Rather than what can we fix."

"The first technician added coolant and thought the problem was fixed. Later the same day a second technician arrived because the unit was still not cooling. The second technician discovered a broken part on the outside unit and replaced it. The second technician was very thorough and determined to find the problem. The first trip charge, with coolant, was $476.42. There was no service charge for the second trip, only for the new part, an additional $198.38."

"The installation went well. Justin from sales is awesome and took all the inputs and scheduled the installation appropriately. The installation team Doug and JD are excellent. They worked very hard in the hot sun and installed very patiently. Very cooperative, cleared all the questions we have. We had an issue with the drainage of the purifier as it occupied our washer and dryer which prevented our washing machine installation and Costco denied the installation. But upon contacting prostar Doug or JD came and resolved the issue in no time. He installed the washer and dryer as well. Really appreciate the team and their services.."

"I can think of nothing that I would change, or suggest be done differently. It went as if the installers were working on their own homes. Cliff did a great job of getting me the best deal on a great system, and Joe and Brandon showed great effort installing the system. They were both friendly and knowledgeable, and I could really see their commitment to doing the best job possible. I am just so grateful to have found Air Care Today, and chose to go with them. I will definitely mention Air Care Today to my coworkers and friends. Sincerely A lifetime customer Jeff Menacher"

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"I called several companies on New Year's Day and they had no service today or their fee to just show up was $400 without repairs. I was housing 3 flood victims of which 2 were recovering from recent serious surgeries and in electric hospital beds that were not working. I was told by 2 companies that the first available appointment would be Thursday the 4th. I called OnTime and explained my situation and their service man, Carlos, was here within an hour. He first checked the main box because one breaker would not come on then checked every outlet in the 4 areas of the house without service until he found the problem which was a GFI outlet & transformer located outside on the front wall of the house. He found the transformer had blown and fried everything in that outlet and cut off all service connected in that line. It took a while to find the problem but he was persistent until he found the source and replaced both the GFI plug and transformer, He then rechecked to be sure all other areas that were off were now working. Carlos was very professional, polite, and explained what had happened. Another company had previously done work for me and installed a new larger electrical box. At that time they had told me they were installing a "whole house surge protector" and Carlos showed me that I did not have any whole house surge protector and that what they had claimed to be a surge protector was no such thing. I was not happy to discover that for 3 years I had thought I had something and did not. Carlos will return next week and install a surge protector to cover the entire house. I am very pleased with the work done today. I am not so pleased with the price, however, the holiday charge was half of what the other companies I had called were charging and I got prompt efficient service that was badly needed under the circumstances. My house guests now have operating hospital beds again and that was a definite priority. We also now have internet and cable which would have been difficult to go without for 4 days."

"Excellent... Green Leaf Air honored a Angie's List deal ( even though the deal was a few months old). The installation was made complicated due the age of my system being replaced by new equipment and technology. But Dale the installer.. with his expertise and long experience, did the job expertly, professionally and efficiently. I highly recommend this company."

"Contacted energy attic usa for information on their products and received an abundance of help from two very kind and friendly people- Kent and Amy.  They are a husband and wife team that take great pride in what they do, the american made products that they use, and in customer satisfaction.  I had many questions that related to my existing air conditioning unit and ductwork and Kent was more than happy to answer ALL of my questions!  I had originally planned to be home on the day of the scheduled install, but an emergency came up with one of their employees and so they had to reschedule the work at my house.  I was not happy because I wanted to be at home when the work took place and could not take off from work.  Kent understood and gave me his word that he would stay at my house and oversee the work until everything was completed.   Overall, I was very happy that I used this company and would recommend them to anyone else.  They displayed quality work and to my delight- left all the areas where they had worked clean!  Cynthia

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Burnet, TX

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.
