Customers say: Super punctual

"I would highly recommend this company. The owner, Mike Hoff, was very honest and very professional. He fixed our problem for $254, when another "BIG company" told us that our inside coil had a hole in it and that to fix that would be $2300, but our best bet would be to replace the entire unit. They even had a salesman at my door within a half hour and he wanted to sell me the $11,000.00 heating/AC unit, "which would be the best thing we could do for our house." My husband became suspicious when it didn't look like the service tech had even taken off the front of the A/C unit where the coil was located. And this was a company that had been servicing our heating and A/C unit for the last 4 yrs. Anyway, he suggested I call Hoff A/C, whom he had found on Angie's List website. Mike Hoff took the time to show me everything he was doing and where the problem was. I will call him from now on for any heating or A/C problems we have."

"I finally needed to replace my 23 year old furnace and was not happy with my current HVAC service provider so I started shopping around. I knew I wanted a Trane system so started at the trane.com website and saw that Roy Rogers was an authorized provider. I read their YP and Angie's List reviews and was impressed with what I saw so I contacted them. Dustin called me back within an hour and by that afternoon was at my door to take a look, answer my questions and provide me with a solution. I compared them to other larger installers and decided I wanted to give them my business. The installation went very smoothly, they were on-time and met every promise. There was a hiccup in the furnace the first night but Roy came right back out and within 15 minutes, problem solved. No issues since and it has been running great. I would highly recommend these folks for anyone looking to maintain or replace their HVAC system."

"Contacted Hope Plumbing on a Monday morning and they were able to provide the estimate and installation the same day. Ryan was friendly and professional. Our water heater was under warranty so he was able to pick up a replacement using the authorization code from the water heater company. GmWe are glad to have hot water again!"

"From Tammy in the office to system designer Jake Snyder to head technician Tim the folks from Irish Air were GREAT when I needed a second opinion on possibly needing a new heat pump. They saved me thousands of dollars. I can’t recommend them highly enough for sales or service. They are my new HVAC company!"

"

Everything went great.  He showed up on time and was very professional.  We provided the hardware and he did the rest.  He removed and disposed off the old sink and faucet, installed a drop in sink, replaced the hardware and even put in new flexible tubing.

We couldn't be happier with the work they provided.

"When my hot water heater stopped working, I called Isley's, the company that had installed it. A technician came the next day and replaced the broken part. He also flushed the tank. Because the tank was still under warranty, the repair cost was reduced by $200. The job was handled in a friendly and efficient way. I've used Isley's for years and have always gotten excellent service."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Carmel, IN

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.
