Get matched with top swamp cooler installers and replacers in Cerrillos, NM

"I am very pleased with the service and equipment. Patrick was prompt, did the work quickly and cleaned up afterward. His price was very reasonable and he has called to check on the system and make sure I am satisfied. I know he will be there right away if I have any problems. I had no experience with choosing a system for an older house in Santa Fe. There is no ductwork. It was heated with a wood stove. The mini split system has given me three zones in the house where I can control the heat or cooling separately. This is perfect for me because I don't have to heat or cool areas that I am not using."

"JJ provided a detailed description of work needed to remove and replace my 20 yr old rusted cooler, complete with photos and an itemized list of labor and parts. Gerrod and James arrived within the time parameter, introduced themselves and got to work. They did need to go get a larger unit and within 4 hours my new cooler was up and cooling my house. What I paid was exactly what was estimated. I received photos of every step of the installation."

"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

"We were ready for a struggle. We have a 'special' HVAC system which was struggling. Two years ago we had several HVAC providers provide estimates and they were all so high that we just decided to wait until our system died.
The system didn't die but someone in this household decided to power wash the unit, crushing about 75% of the fins. So then we had a struggling system that was very damaged and straightening 75% of the fins did not seem doable.
We called Reliable and Terrence and Erik came out to examine our system and provide an estimate. Although we were prepared to hear the entire system had to be replaced, Terrence thought that was not necessary and he carefully explained his recommendation.
Within two days we had a written estimate that was thousands of dollars less than any other estimate we had received two years previously when the system was not struggling as much.  The estimate included 
Reliable replaced our unit with a new, smaller, more energy efficient unit. We could not be more pleased. They even registered the unit with Lennox, as they had all the information. 
Now we probably have a system that will operate for at least another 10 years. We will call Reliable Tech from now on for any HVAC or plumbing problem. They proved that sometimes the WHOLE system does not have to be replaced. Somehow, Reliable Tech was the only provider who understood that 'just enough' is often all that is required.

"Wonderful. Jason ( the owner) has been giving service to my swamp coolers and furnace. He always does a fantastic Job. I highly recommend this Company."

"I had 3 quotes done and AC&R had the best equipment at the right price. The installers were very friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend AC&R to anyone needing to convert their swamp cooler to refrigerated air. I don't know how we lived all these years without refrigerated air!!"

"Another plumber had recommended replacing the boiler for an estimated material and labor cost of over $7000.
Tony (the lead man at Universal Plumbing) inspected the boiler unit and instead recommended a thorough cleaning and replacement of one or two zone valves.
The work team arrived as scheduled, performed the cleaning, zone valve replacement, water heater draining and radiant heating system purge. The workers were very professional, explaining what they were doing, answering all my questions. They left the mechanical room clean and neat, their work appears very professional. They also installed a 4-zone monitoring device (for the zone valves) that makes it easy to keep track of which zones are calling for hot water and which ones are getting it.
The work included purging the air from the radiant heating system. This caused the slab to cool down. External temperatures were below freezing, and the radiant heating system seemed to be regaining heat inconsistently across zones. Tony and his crew returned several times to purge the system a second time, adjust the thermostats, take temperature readings on floor surfaces, and in general, stick with us until everything was running correctly.
For me, trust is key. When I pay a contractor, I need to trust that he will stay on task until it is right. Tony and his crew earned my trust on this job and I will use Universal Plumbing again to move gas and water lines as part of a major kitchen renovation. The fact that Universal found boiler replacement unnecessary saved me thousands.
I recommend Universal Plumbing wholeheartedly.

"Sooo....first, Jim is a very nice guy.  However, Jim now works in Nashville during the week and is only home to the Huntsville area on the weekends.
My first impression of him was that he was awesome.  My computer system had crashed because I pulled the plug during a thunder storm before the computer fully shut down which resulted in the computer hanging up.  Jim took my call while in Tennessee and suggested how to fix the system.  For this I am very grateful.

What happened next was I had him come and check my computer to make sure everything was working properly.  He came to my house and spent an hour tweaking it (basically running various checks on the system), for which I paid him $50.  He suggested that my laptop would work much better if I had Windows 7 and increased my RAM up to 4 GB.  He said he could install it for me for (including the RAM) for about $160.  We met the following weekend for the handoff and he loaded Window 7.  When I received the call it was ready, the bill was $227.50.  I was surprised that is was $70 more than quoted, but paid it anyways.  When I asked about the RAM, he mentioned he did not upgrade the RAM and this would be another $60.  I was a little discouraged at that point since I felt like I was being taken advantage of, but the guy is relatively nice, so I said to go ahead and order the RAM.  He did so and the following weekend was supposed to install it.  Due to some personal things in his life, he wasn't able to install it, so I picked it up since I had to go out of town and could use the IT guy at my new location to install it for me.  When we went to install the RAM, the system wouldn't let us do it since my particular type of laptop can only take 2GB of RAM max.  If Jim had gone to the crucial.com website (where he bought my RAM) and entered my computer system on it, it would have told him the max amount of RAM that could be installed on that unit.  He did not do that.  He is supposed to refund my $60 this next weekend.

I think if Jim wasn't burning the candle at both ends by having a job in Tennessee during the week and trying to run this business on the weekends, it would've been a better experience.  Perhaps taking a few extra minutes to SLOW DOWN and write out an estimate of everything he would need for the job including the prices would ensure people know up front how much the repair would/should cost so they can budget accordingly.  I think if he had taken that approach, it might've been a better experience.  So now I am stuck with a laptop that runs slower because Windows 7 uses more memory and a laptop that can't be upgraded to more RAM.  Basically, the last step which cost me almost $300 was not necessary.  If you need something simple done like coming back from a system crash, he would be okay to use.  Otherwise, for the bigger jobs, I recommend he provide a written estimate with the items he plans to do.

UPDATE:  After posting this review, I received a number of text messages from Jim commenting on the bad review.  I understand he is upset, but harassing someone about a review is not a good way to go.  My review was honest and not meant to be mean, but to let those that use Angie's list get what they pay for...an honest review of someone's experience."
