"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."

"They did a great job!  He was a little late, but we were the last stop for the day and he did call us and let us know exactly what time he would be arriving. The furnace breaker was overheating and causing the furnace to shut off.  He had the issue solved in no time!  He did have to run to the store to purchase a new break and return to install it.  We plan on using him in the future if we have any further issues!"

"I am so happy that I decided to hire Rich to install my new a/c and furnace. I had called another company to give me a quote and decided to call Rich as well. Rich came out the same day and quoted me $2k less than the other company WITH a better furnace and a/c! During install my son let the cat in the room where my furnace was being installed, while Rich was outside, and my cat ran into the duct and we did not know. After my furnace was finished being installed Rich noticed my cat had snuck inside. Even though this set him back an hour, because he had to take it apart and then put it back together to get the cat out, he did not let me pay him extra or even seem upset by it. He just wanted to make sure the cat was okay. I don't usually write reviews but I had to after this! My a/c is running great and my house cools off much faster now."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"We had Wadsworth install a new A/C and heat pump. They were very thorough with the pre job inspection, more so that any other contractor. The price was well higher than all others but I don't mind paying a higher price for high quality work and initially that was what we received. The problems started when we tried scheduling our bi-annual service/maintenance that is mandatory to retain our warranty. The first occasion we called 3 times and were told someone would get back to us, no one ever did so I called Mike Sr. at home and that got the intended action started. The next time they made the appointment on our first attempt but then the did not show up when they were scheduled twice in a row. They didn't even call to cancel, we had to call them to be told they weren't going to make it. As i said before I don't mind paying more for quality, and I think $13,500 qualifies, but the after the sale service of Wadsworth is so sub standard I would not use them again nor would I recommend them to anyone."

"Barnes replaced both our heating and A/C units (this review site only lets you pick Furnace or A/C, both not both). Zane Barnes is honest, and easy to work with, and does excellent, careful, neat work at a very fair price. He calculated that my old system (22yr old, breaking down often) was also a little undersized and installed a system that does a better job heating and cooling, and more efficient. We also had a google thermostat installed that I really like: I can control it from anywhere with my phone or a web browner, easily setup a weekly heating/cooling schedule that meets our needs, and that auto-adjusts to an efficient temp when it senses that we are gone (e.g. on vacay). Much more efficient than our previous thermostat that was very difficult to program. Saving $$s on gas bills these days is a great feelling!!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Clay City, IN

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.
