"I typically don’t do reviews but had to after the outstanding service I received from Presidential AC & Heating. After purchasing a duplex, my tenants AC went out, and needed to be replaced. I honestly didn’t know where to start. Presidential was one of the first companies I called and they came out ASAP! Roosevelt was very professional and throughly explained all my options. Within 2 days, my tenants AC was back running AND he didn’t break the pockets! If you are looking for a company that is ethical and makes your comfort a priority, I highly recommend them."

"Jim and Brandy were great. Jim made several emergency trips to our house to stop leaks during the remodel. They did all the work promised on or ahead of schedule. They replaced two leaking water heaters in the attic in spite of oppressive heat. We could not be happier with the work provided by Jim. We will be using him for the rest of our remodel instead of plumber suggested by contractor. He was professional in every way and gave us a very fair price.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Chalmette, LA

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.
