"We had this system installed by Kettle Moraine in May 2018. This was our first annual inspection of the furnace, as we had the air conditioning checked out this May. Kyle called ahead of his scheduled arrival to confirm he would be on time. He arrived on time, put his booties on to protect our floors, and got right to work. He did a real nice job of checking everything out, and discovered a water leak that was allowing a small amount of moisture/liquid to get on top of the heat exchanger, in three different places, which would over time create significant problems both with the upper and lower heat exchangers. He exlained very clearly, even showing me what was wrong , and what he suspected was causing the leak. He immediately contacted Lennox, and ordered the replacement parts, from our basement. He estimated the parts would be in the shop and ready for installation in about a week. While I'm not thrilled with the quality of the Lennox furnace, leaking and need major parts being replaced within a couple of years, their 10 year parts and labor warranty will cover everything, so that's great."

"Bob and his team were very professional. They arrived at my residence on time and spent more time than expected due to a need to replace the existing PVC venting pipe to a larger diameter. Overall I am very happy with the service performed by Bob's team. I definitely recommend his team to whoever needs heating and cooling service."

"Matt came out in the beginning of the week to inspect our AC. Before we called we heard loud noises when the AC outside came on and that is why we called. Matt inspected our system and explained that our compressor was leaking freon and that it was down 2 lbs. Being that this AC was installed back in 2009 it was using R22 which is outlawed by the government. So in order to get this fixed we would have had to change the compressor which would have cost us around 600-1000. The other bigger issue was that when the builder installed our AC it was not sized for our home. We were very blessed that we were able to use it for 9 years before it went out. We were overworking the unit being that it was trying to cool a 1550 sq ft. home and it was only a 1.5 ton unit. So Matt proposed replacing our unit. We negotiated a great price and we scheduled them to come out on Friday May 24th. Up till now, Matt was on time, very professional and was careful on making sure his shoes were covered before walking in our home. Matt was also knowledgeable and was easy to understand. At the time my parents were visiting and he was very helpful and explained the situation to my parents. They really appreciated that. Now on Friday, Matt and Dan came out and again showing great care for our home and our time. They installed our system quickly and efficiently. After they completed the work, we noticed a huge difference with our system. The house was cooled in no time. We were very happy that we finally had a system that was appropriately sized for our home reducing our cooling time by almost half. I am so happy that we called Matt to do this work. We never felt that we were taken advantaged or that we didn't have control of all the decisions that needed to be made. I recommend Matt and his team."

"Nicely done. We have two Carrier furnaces in our old house. I phoned Air Solutions for an annual inspection/clean on both units and they had a man available the same day. Very nice tech, good communication, no issues, and they let us use the Angie's coupon on both units. Will definitely hire again!"

"I called for service and appointment was for the next day. Service person showed up on time. The problem was found (bad micro switch) and a zone valve motor/actuator was replaced. The whole process was completed in 30 minutes. They give senior citizens a discount. Yea! I would use them again for other problems or maintenance."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"He ended up not only selling us a new A/C unit (on sale) but gave us an amazing deal to replace the furnace at the same time. The installation took longer than I expected - but I was provided logical reasons for the time AND the poor guys did some of the work in the pouring rain. We've only had the new system for a couple of days, but I am confident that it will be an upgrade from our previous system - especially when they said "Feel Free to call us any time, and by 'feel free' I mean definitely call us if you have any questions or issues""

"Politely said, Sparky is the boss.  
We needed electricity and HDMI ran from a cabinet in our great room up above our fireplace so we could mount a TV.  Also needed cable and electricity ran to a wall in our master bedroom so we could mount our TV on the wall. 
Sparky showed up on a Friday afternoon, five minutes early.  Assessed the situation, and before he left, said he would look into how much parts/etc would cost, and he would call me with a bid.  Sunday night I received a text from him with a bid, we set up a time for him to come for the install on 8/22 at 9am.  
Sparky showed up at 8:59, and got to work.  I came home from lunch to outlets installed where I had asked, cable ran, everything was great.  He could not find the specific outlet cover for AC / Cable, but it will not be visible once the TV is mounted, so it is not of real concern.  
I was a little uncomfortable mounting the brackets for our TV on the walls, as the studs were located in odd places - and I didn't trust myself to mount a $1,000 60" plasma anywhere that wasn't on a small stand.  ha!  
I asked if he would mind installing the mounts if I kicked him some extra $$, and he gladly obliged to stay longer than he had originally intended.  He even went so far as to use his own screws/mounting bolts that were FAR superior to the ones that were provided in the kit.
Couldn't be happier.  Should we plan on doing any other electrical work / lighting in the future, Sparky will be our first call.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Caledonia, WI

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.
