"Exceeded my expectations from the start. Caleb Garver was on time. He efficiently explained what systems would work well in our house. The installers arrived the next day on schedule. Fernando and his co-installer were efficient, worked in horrible heat. The outdoor temperature was 105+. Fernando explained everything and showed us how to use the thermostat and change the filters. Then a senior technician, Robert, came and did a complete inspection and sign off of the job. Because of the outstanding experience with the quote/sale and installation, we were comfortable getting the maintenance plan. We highly recommend Emergency Air."

"I am very happy with the service.
Tech fixed insulation on door that was falling into fan motor.  He removed debris.  I'm sure all of the other tune-up items were completed, but these were the ones of note that could I feel could have been a big issue.
He brought down one of the capacitors that was on the fritz and showed me the tests were just outside of the 6% tolerance.  He gave me a quote for the replacement.  However, I have a home warranty that will replace the items when it finally fails, so I choose not to replace it at the time (maybe next year if I make it through this summer).
I did not feel any pressure or sales pitch.  I feel that this is a reliable company that I would be comfortable using.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Cave Creek, AZ

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.
