"Joe flushed out our A/C's main drain pipe super fast and took extra time to provide recommendations for keeping our A/C running most efficiently. He had to reschedule our initial appointment, but was good at keeping communication open and followed through."

"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."

"Tim, was an amazing and professional tech! My AC wasn't cooling down even when turned on just seemed like it was just hot air. I had my unit looked at by another company and they quoted me a whole new unit. Told me mine needed to be replaced. Naturally, I wanted another look. I'm Glad I did! Tim, not only found the issue but replaced it and had it working in no time! He said it was a solenoid for the heat pump. Will definitely be using him for my service from now on! 1000% would recommend."

"From start to completion everything for the initial quote, to showing up on time, to completing the job quickly and cleaning up was absolute professionalism. Kent , the owner, was great and everything he told me was correct. I have waited to post my evalution because I wanted to receive my first utility bill after completion. My utility bills in the summer were ranging from $250-$300 a month. I have a 2267 square foot home with a pool. My first bill since my new installation was $200.00, a wonderful drop from last year. The pool uses a lot of energy. Before, my garage was incredibly hot in the summer and I can really tell the difference. I leave my thermostat on 78 and it is actually cold at night. I highly recommend them.

"Overall Impressions: Blu Sparrow’s owner Danny went above and beyond in order to get my furnace back up and running. If ever again I am in need of HVAC work, Danny from BluSparrow will be the first (and likely the last) person I will call. Why You Should Hire Blu Sparrow: If you are anything like I was when my furnace went out in the middle of a winter storm event, desperate to get your heat back on but very wary of slick tradesmen, no need to look any further. Blu Sparrow doesn’t even charge you a service fee to come out. Unlike other companies who charged me close to $100 just to come out and give me an inaccurate diagnostic and an overpriced quote that wouldn’t have even solved my problem, Danny didn’t charge me at all for coming out, nor for making two back-and forth-trips to get different parts from his offices, nor for attempting to solve my issue using info I gave him from the first guy who had come out. Rather, he was fair for only charging me for what actually solved my system’s problem, and he demonstrated his superb craftsmanship installing a new control board. Job Summary: Within five minutes of creating my request, Danny called me and gave me an exact dollar figure estimate to replace the part I believed to be the problem. This was very appreciated and super important because it helped me while fielding quotes from other crews to identify possible scammers. We scheduled an appointment within 2 hours and while the first guy unsuccessfully attempted to charge me to sit in traffic for an hour and then rushed out the door when he said his time was up, Danny personally came to make sure I’d get helped that day, and after he tried the initially diagnosed repair and it didn’t solve the issue, without hesitation he went back to testing various things and ultimately identified the control board as the root cause of ignition failure. At that time, he told me his hypothesis, gave me an exact dollar figure estimate to make the repair (no hidden fees or head-scratching jargon, and they accepted my warranty, greatly reducing the headache from the entire ordeal) and because of the cost & complexity of the repair, he performed a couple more tests to help confirm his diagnosis. I really appreciated that. After confirming they had the necessary part, he speedily picked it up, returned, and made the installation. Then after confirming with me that I was satisfied and all concerns were addressed he was out the door. I appreciate that later on he sent me pictures he had taken throughout the job, ending with a shot of the 4 piping hot blue flames propelled from my unit’s burners. Thank you again Danny and Blu Sparrow for coming out so quickly and for working late to ensure my family didn’t have to endure another day/night of sub-50 degree temperatures indoors."

Upon returning to my house I discovered the air conditioner was not working. On the recommendation of my son and daughter I called Hometown AC and Clint and Jesse come out within two hour to evaluate the problem. They determined my old air conditioner was toast and arranged for a new system to be installed Monday morning. Since it was Father's day weekend they provided me with a portable air conditioner for the weekend. Their crew showed up on Monday morning and had the system installed within 3-4 hours. They seem to go out of their way to accommodate the client. The crew was friendly and conscientious.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Castroville, 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.
