"The service from Alliance Service Pros was fantastic! Tom Kensinger was my service pro and he delivered above and beyond my expectations. The flower bed in front of my house next to the foudation was very soggy and water was coming through the foundation into my house; assumed a water or sewer leak. Chalres from Alliance pros investigated the situation, throughouly examined the situation, checked all township/state codes and then provided a compeitive quote. Two days later Tom was onsite for the repair, it was around 90-95 degrees. He hand dug 6 ft of earth to uncover a broken water line in the foundation. Tom overcame serveral challenges with main water line shutoff not working, significant flooding while digging to get the job down. He also brought a change of clothes, before coming into the house to not muddy up my house/basement. He repaired the waterline outside and through the house and then sealed the water line and the sewer line in the foundation in and out. He took care on digging to separate the mulch and dirt, so upon refilling the hole he could leave it as he left. Lastly, he hosed down all areas of my porch, driveway and sidewalk. Basically looked liked it was never touched. He worked 12 hours and promised to not leave until we had water that night. I have never seen this dedication from a trade professional before and my long review is a return in kind for the level of work he showed my family. They will be my go to plumbing professionals from now on."

"Hello, Our air conditioner was leaking R22 gas and we decide to fill it one last time this season and that was a mistake. After paying PSE&G $500 to fill it, all the gas leaked out in a month. This is when my wife and I decide to get a new system. We looked at York, Carrier and Lennox. We decide on Carrier because of the quality and our last system lasted 22 years. They also have 25 year warranties on different parts. My wife and I went on Angi's and got quotes from 12 different companies. They ranged from 9K to 17K dollars to have our furnace and air conditioner replaced. The quote we received from AAC Heating and Cooling Services was in the mid 10K range and then we added an electric air cleaner to the system which put us in the low 11k range. We went with AAC Heating and Cooling Services because of their warranty and the fact that Adem was not a high pressure sales man. He told you what he was going to give you and let you make the decision. We had several companies that wanted you to sign that night and I not a person for high pressure sales tactics. AAC Heating and Cooling Services also warranty their labor for 5 years and only 2 other companies were better. Those companies gave us 10 year labor warranties but they were in the 14K to 17K range. You also had to purchase a yearly plan which would of added an additional $240 to $265 to the yearly bill. This was out of our budget. Adem also gave us a date and time the job would be done. Other companies weren't sure if they could get the parts in 2 to 3 weeks and couldn't give us a start date. When Adem and Chris came to do the work they were very polite and professional. They Laid out cloths not to damage the hardwood floors, rugs and bedroom furniture since my furnace was in the attic. When the air conditioner was installed they laid out a base of stone before adding the 3 inch pad down. Then put the air conditioner on that nice flat solid surface so it would never sink into the ground over time. Very professional and well done. The entire time I felt like I could talk to Adem and Chris, ask questions and get truthful answers. Also, the way wires were tied and the pipes were placed was very clean and professional. Nothing sticking out that you can trip on or bump into. It's been 2 weeks now since we had the new furnace and air conditioner installed and we couldn't be any happier."

"It went very well. Before my service guy Eric showed up, the company sent me his photo, advised they were following safe Covid practices and gave me an ETA for his arrival. Eric was very professional and he assessed that I needed a new thermocouple. Eric installed the thermocouple and had the furnace running again promptly. He also advised me that Arctic Air had a plumbing division when I was asking about replacing the hot water heater. He took the time to call the office about the cost of replacing my hot water heater and gave me a quote good for 6 months. Eric was very knowledgeable, welcomed my questions and he really impressed me. I had been looking for a trustworthy service and I feel I have found that in Arctic Air. I highly recommend the service."

"Great, they were friendly and professional. I also had a crack in my windshield that needed to be replaced, they advised me of a person they use and the cost. No pressure to go with their provider. I chose to go with another glass company and I just had to return to get my inspection stickers put onto my new windshield.

"We finally gave up on constantly maintaining our ‘builders quality’ original York HVAC and heater. The heater worked fine if inefficient, but the AC coils had a leak which was not divulged when we bought the 8 year old house. When we bought it the owners must have just charged it up, so the slow leak wouldn’t be discovered until a full year later when we went to start up the AC the next summer. The problem was ours to handle now and seeing that we had other problems to deal with, it was never in the budget to do more than just get it recharged year after year. Regulations changed, refrigerant changed, time aged the system, and parts became scarce. Finally after 11 years of dealing with it and tinkering with the concept of replacing the entire thing, we decided the time to do it was summer 2015 (yes a year + ago). We obtained quotes from our regular HVAC repair company, as well as Horizon, and Green Electric, Heating & Cooling. We tried to obtain quotes for everything as comparable as possible. Min 95% efficiency, 100k BTU Heater 3.5 to 4 ton Coil with 16 Seer Puron Condensing Unit 50 gallon Water Heater (replaced the first one when we just moved in 2003) The Green representative was very professional and friendly. He pointed out the options and listened to my concerns without making me feel like he needed to be somewhere else. Horizon sent some guy that was a little bit cocky but knew his stuff. I am familiar with the Horizon company but have never given them any work to this day. Our regular HVAC guy did everything by phone since we had been going back and forth for a few years discussing the available options, but his tech was getting a bit on the old side and his efficiency ratings were not quite what we wanted once we tried to balance everything out between offers. Our normal guy offered Ruud. Horizon offered Lennox. Green offered Bryant. Everyone offered the same Bradley White water heater, but I toyed with the idea of a higher efficiency model which required a powered vent and dedicated pipes to the outside. After all the quotes were obtained, we began to get high pressure calls from Horizon where they were offering a discount if we come to a decision “NOW”! Apparently they had a team ready to do an install, but it was cancelled and they wanted to do something to fill the time. We don’t react to high pressure situations, and immediately crossed them off the list. I received a call from a manager a few days later and described the situation in detail. He was not happy with what I told him regarding his employee behaviors. So is life. My wife and I deliberated for a bit longer, made best and final requests to obtain better pricing and confirm certain things would be done, and then locked in with Green. We decided on the following: 97% efficiency, 100k BTU heater, infinitely variable heat (not single or two stage). Infinitely variable fan. 4 ton evaporator coil. 3.5ton 16 seer condensing unit, single stage, but we got the ultra quiet version. You can stand 2 feet away from it and talk with someone at normal volume. It is silent from 10 feet away. Standard 50 gallon water heater. We set a date and then proceeded to cross our fingers that we made the right decision. Things moved very quickly after that. This was going to be a full swap out which required bringing everything to current township regulations. This meant PVC piping to the exterior foundation wall for the high efficiency furnace, new valves and switches, new copper lines, extra ductwork and dampers, new outdoor pad for the new condensing unit, and a new thermostat. They showed up bright and early in the morning. 2 guys started the teardown. They asked me a few simple questions about if I wanted the Heating unit at the same elevation and the preferred “front” orientation of the heater. Later for the pipe routing of the heater vents, we had to move boxes out of the way so they could drill large holes for the PVC pipe. None of this was an issue. The old unit was ripped out and taken away as if it was never there, and very cleanly and without drama. Then while the ductwork was opened, they educated me in the damper system that was installed in our ductwork that may cause air distribution issues, and then showed me how to adjust it seasonally. The builders installed a damper above the heater that 30% blocked the exit flow. This damper is there to balance out the upstairs in the summer and winter. It was near impossible to see without someone pointing it out as the handle was between other ductwork. It was very educational. They also noticed what they called a “short circuit” in the ductwork. There was a duct return that came into a header in a narrow duct but the expansion was about 2 feet down further. They moved the flex hose of the return to the expansion just to help balance out the flow. Again, very educational. There was no extra cost or fanfare with this. About 6 hours into the build, another person showed up to help. He immediately started on the hot water heater. The old one had no issues but it was 10 years old. This was a quick swap as we decided not to go with the high efficiency model with the powered vent, since it would require cutting two more holes in the foundation wall. About 8 hours after they started, they were cleaning up. They helped push all the boxes back for me, swept the floors, and proceeded to show me the awesome Bryant HVAC control. It is wifi enabled and can be controlled remotely via an app on your phone. And I do mean FULL control. Full programming, full error reporting, full adjustments of all profiles. The color touch screen looks great and the app duplicates the screen perfectly, so there is no re-learning how to do the things you need. It is also one of those thermostats where you set the high and low points and it will keep the temperature in that range. No longer do you have to switch from “hot” to “cool”. It also has the installer phone number programmed into it, and has full diagnostic self-checking capabilities so it can send a call for help should it need it. It can also report the weather forecast. In a word, it is “wonderful”. Overall, we are extremely satisfied. We have used the AC for two seasons now and the heater for one season so far. I cannot say the electric bills have gotten lower, and the primary reason for that is that we now use it ALL THE TIME. The condensing unit does not struggle to get the temp where we want it. But since the house is drafty, it runs frequently. The old unit we would just shut it off for days at a time if we could bear with the heat as it would run all day long, so in theory it was cheaper since we shut it down. Our gas bill has gone down 30% when compared to the same period last year. I am very satisfied with the installation crew, the installation itself, and the functionality of the installed system. About one year later, I realized I completely forgot I needed to get the township to inspect the installation. The inspector came out and found the tiniest problem. Apparently kids like to huff Puron. The outdoor fill ports on the condensing unit needed these little colorful locking caps installed. Because of this I did not pass inspection and called Green to remedy the situation. They were out within 24 hours and installed the caps. No charge, no fuss. The inspector came back, and gave everything a clean bill of health. He also personally told me without my provoking, that my installation is one of the best he has seen in the county. He specifically pointed out how clean the install was, and the use of full pvc schedule 40 pipe, all glued, for the heater vents as something he sees other installers cheapen out on. He was impressed. I continue to be."

"Everything went as expected and service was great!  
We moved into an old townhouse a year ago and had been wanting to have the air ducts cleaned.  However, due to other urgent projects we had to postpone it until March 8 this year.  I'd been looking forward to having Joel and his team come and do the job because of all the good reviews and they sure did not disappoint!  I have to say they are by far the best contractor we've had since we moved into this place (and we've had quite a number of contractors!).  
First of all, Joel is the nicest person I've ever met.  He is just such a warm person, responsive, attentive, polite and explains everything to you. 
Second, he is the most hard-working person and just has a passion in what he is doing.  They came to the house around 7am and worked until 4pm non-stop.  Most service providers only spend a couple of hours on a project like this but they spent almost the whole day.  They definitely do not cut corners and did a really thorough job at cleaning all the ducts.  At the end of the day, I felt I could breathe again.  The whole house felt thoroughly cleansed.  Joel showed us the video of the vacccuming and we could not believe how much dust had accumulated!  
We would definitely use them again!

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Chesterfield, NJ

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.
