"I found East Coast Comfort for my son’s house when he had heater problems and they fixed his issue quickly and seemed very honest and knowledgeable so then I used them for my house for various smaller jobs and they were always impressive and responsive so when I went to replace my HVAC - I got a quote from them (Ed) which was very reasonable. Lisa remained communicative throughout the entire process. Tony and his team were true professionals. They arrived on time, explained the work to be performed as well as the steps they were taking along the way. They removed the old HVAC system and installed the new one being very careful throughout the entire process. The whole team was friendly and efficient. Ed is also great as he has been to my house for various problems over the years and always does an awesome job. We are extremely satisfied and would highly recommend East Coast Comfort for simple repairs or a full system installation or anything in between!"

"The team at Fresh Air Flow is exceptional. 5 Stars from initial response to delivery of new system! I had used FAF to keep my 26 year old system running (shout out to Angelo!). Never any pushy sales tactics, just recommendations about my upgrade options. When the system finally died Ben came out right away to get the ball rolling on a replacement. Shawn, James and Christian installed my new unit. They were good, professional, and courteous. They took the time to show me the system, recap the work they had done, and ensure my new thermostat was setup on the house network and app installed on my phone. The install was really clean; nice job, well done. They left my home like they were never there. I would not hesitate to recommend calling Fresh Air Flow for your HVAC needs."

"These guys were pros through and through. We wanted to remove the old oil furnance (that was about the size of a VW bug) and replace it with a more energy friendly and cost saving gas furnance. They gave us multiple cost options from keeping our current water heater, going tankless, or changing to a higher eneregy effecient heater (which we chose.) The decisions were made more complicated as we have a heat pump on the 2nd and 3rd floor while the oil furnance serviced the 1st and 2nd floor. Mike, our sales manager was patient with our continous questions and responded via phone and/or email. 
The job was occuring in December and they tried to negate as many hours without heat as they could. The project manager, Joe, kept us updated throughout the project - making sure he reviewed with us everything they did each day, the next steps, and their progression on the timeline. They kept the place immaculate. They warned us previously that taking out the old furnance would likely do damage to the stairwell - and the stairs were nicked quite a bit, but they came in with a sander and smoothed them down and even offered to paint them if we had matching paint.
We had them come out to do a couple of tweaks, but the system works great, and will definitely save us money in the long haul. We are putting in AC this summer (I know our installing timing is opposite from what it should have been) and we are having Vaughan install a high velocity Unico system shortly. I wouldn't use anyone else.

"I contacted Unique Indoor Comfort, among others, to obtain a proposal for replacement of my furnace and air conditioning system. Unique took measurements off all the rooms (for sizing calculations), answered all my questions, and provided me with a written proposal with several system options ranging in cost. Some other contractors that had estimated this job had failed to either take measurements or provide a detailed written proposal. Although Unique did not have the cheapest proposal for this work, I felt most comfortable choosing Unique for the job because of their professional approach to the work, their ability to answer my questions, and their well-detailed proposal. The installation took one day. The contractors wore booties and put down cloths to keep my carpet clean when moving equipment. The installation went well, and I was satisfied with the quality of the work. The only issue I had was that the installation team forgot to install an upgraded piece of duct work. This duct piece only affected the efficiency of the system, not the operation, but it was included in the contract and touted by Unique as a benefit of their installation. After I noticed this and contacted Unique, they apologized and sent someone to install the upgrade within a few days. Overall, I am very satisfied with the system and the installation."

"It went very well. They did a good job. The cost was over $400. I don't know whether or not that's too high or not. I seldom have plumbers in so I can't say the cost was high, although I was surprised it was $400, but that could be the going rate. He seemed very agreeable and very happy. I needed something and he was happy to get it. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in that regard. As for the quality of their service, so far so good. Everything went okay. It stopped leaking."

"

They are really good. I had four guys out here for, like three days. They put in a great heat pump real easily. Not only did they put in a new furnace, but the ducting that was in here at the house was, like, 30 years old so they tore it out and re-did it with custom ducting made out of big sheets of metal. They only charged me $3,000 for the furnace. I am glad I did because it has made a huge difference in the air quality here. They came out yesterday. They said they would be back for the winter servicing. I have an oil backup so they were out for a number of hours yesterday. They will service it for the next 10 years and it is under warranty for 10 years too. They are great guys. Frank Ford is the owner of it. He and his guys do excellent work and really care. Their prices are as good as anybody. The price depends on what unit you get so it is hard to say. These guys are terrific. I would say if you needed a new heat pump or furnace they should be number one on your list.

"He was very professional. He also came out "on time" and quickly
identified the issue. Took the time to explain to me what was happening
and gave me a few insights about my AC unit. All in All, I was very
pleased with his service.
The refrigerant cost a pretty penny, but I can't blame that on him. I looked around and it seems like that
was a fair price.  I don't know how much control he (or anybody) has over that.
I would definitely use his services again.

"After two weeks of trying to diagnose the problem with my heating system, it was determined that I needed to replace the system. Although this was not the answer that I was looking for, it was the right answer and decision. From the technicians who determined a replacement was needed, to Phil Grego who coordinated the replacement installation, to Miguel and his coworker who worked quickly to replace the system, it was a flawless coordinated effort to restore a working heating system in my house. All representatives from Arctic Air were respectful and informative. An extra shout out to Phil who was able to get me on the installation schedule quickly."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Camden, NJ

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.
