"Pronto has been servicing my furnace and AC for several years. When it was time to replace, l knew who I was going to call. Working with Pronto on the replacement was an excellent experience. From Jack in Sales, to Darren and Kevin who led the installation everything went well. Final inspection was completed today. Both the mechanical and electrical inspectors commented on the great job."

"The only model thermostat they offered was high priced ( $350 plus installation or $453 total), High tech, WiFi link to smartphone, programmable. I told him I wanted a simpler model and was told the only other option was more complicated and more expensive and that "this is how thermostats are now". I told him I was upset, but had no other options. I now know this was 'extortion' , since other simpler models are still available and would have been better suited to this senior citizen. A furnace cleaning the same month prompted a list of things I should buy despite the furnace passing it's tests.....be prepared for a sales pitch. They did come promptly and were polite. I will not hire them again."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"Even though I have read some negative comments about their plumbing's prices, I wanted to give them a chance as I had a fairly good experience on the HVAC side. Unfortunately, I am afraid the comments were right! I called them for a leak in my basement related to a water drain from the second floor bathrooms. Before starting, Matt explain to me he had to go through a "pluming diagnostics" of the entire house and systems that is a flat fee of $497 (based on the age of the house) for: Unlimited Time to find the problem, One level 1 to 2 repair included with diagnostic, performance check, whole home water quality analysis, including chlorine, water hardness, and total dissolved solids, confirmation that system is safe, reliable, and energy efficient, Applies to equipment 6-20+ years old, main drain, water pressure/water temperature over 1500 sqft, tankless water heater. Basically a fee to "find the leak" and anything else that could be wrong in my house in order to give me suggestions for additional repairs that go on top of the "diagnostic fee", unless it is a level 1 or 2 repair that you probably never have anyway...! I my case Matt's listed 3 options: - $4.193 (repair copper drain, new washing machine hoses, install pressure valve and new 50 Gal water heater) - $1.467 (repair copper drain, new washing machine hoses, install pressure valve). Meaning $2.726 for the water heater alone. Or $631 (repair copper drain, new washing machine hoses). Meaning $836 for the pressure valve alone! I told him I could do the machine hoses myself and asked him how much it would be just to fix the leak => $364. That means the charge to change 2 $10 hoses is $267!! By the way, they don't deduct the $79 service call if you are not part of the Membership Program, charge an additional $14 for "Transfer Fuel Surcharge" and didn't discount the $50 coupon. Bottom line my invoice was $497 + $79 + $14 + $364 = $954. Fortunately, I talked to Kristy from Customer Service the following day and got the $50 coupon applied and got an additional $50 off after my open and direct discussion with her. Thank you Kristy. Still, I believe the all process was a bit complicated for a leak and would have to try a different plumber next time. Further more, what's going on with the "Plumbing Diagnostic" fee if they have to come again later on during the year for another issue? I surely wouldn't need another "check" of my entire house..."

"I contacted SOS over the weekend and the technician was able to come on Monday night (great considering my work schedule). He was on time (within the 2 hour window agreed upon), courteous and thorough. After he installed the unit in a timely manner (my 3 yr son thought it was really fast) he explained how to operate it efficently and gave tips for optimal wear and tear, very professional and thoughtful (above and beyond if you ask me)! He also left the work area very clean, unlike some install experiences we've had. We would definitely call SOS again!!!"

"The call went exceptionally well. Terry was impressive in both his extensive knowledge of the options available for replacement across various price points and the features, advantages, and benefits of representative units. He kept my needs in mind throughout his call and I felt that I was choosing what was best for my situation rather than being sold a unit he favored. Terry is not only knowledgeable but courteous, respectful, customer-service oriented, and professional in all aspects of his service call and his demeanor in interacting with me. He worked quickly despite having to replumb the pipe configuration created for the previous installation and a different physically sized disposal unit being replaced. The new unit is working with no leaks or concerning noise that typically indicate excessive vibration or incorrect installation. I placed a service request on Angie’s list and McQuillan Brothers was the first vendor to respond, demonstrating to me that this company is on top of the marketing of its business. If I needed further proof of this company’s competence, it occurred when their technician/licensed plumber, Terry, showed up at my door. I’m hopeful that I won’t need plumbing help again anytime soon, but if I do, I’ll be calling McQuillan Brothers and specifically requesting Terry to help me out once more."

"Service couldn't have been better.  Mike (I think his name was) was very professional.  He arrived while my wife was home and uninstalled the old water softener, installed a new water softener ($480), and connected the water line to the freezer's ice maker ($100).
All of this took a few hours.  By the time I arrived home from work, he was finished and showed me how to work the new water softener.
He was very polite the entire time.  I would definitely use their service for plumbing again in the future.

"I am providing an update to this review. I received a call from companies owner and was patient to hear what I have to say. Explained in details in their billing practice and apologized for scheduling discrepancies. He also refunded $200. That was a grand gesture made to correct previous overcharge and I appreciated that very much. I thought I should take time and provide this feed back and revert my review for excellent responsiveness and work. My experience with Hoffman Cooling & Heating was a disaster from start to end. I called them on Friday morning, I received a call back at noon scheduling me for Saturday with $89 initial visitation price. I waited Saturday till 2:30 and called them to see why no one showed up. I was told there is nothing on their schedule but they can set one up but it be $129 cause its Saturday. I somehow convinced them about how I scheduled it previous day and quoted price of $89. Thankfully they obliged to send a repair person for that agreed price. He (Joe) showed up and replaced a Capacitor. I asked how much that Capacitor costs, I was told it is $316. He sepnt about 15 minutes and charged me a total of $405.83 ($316.83 for part and $89 for service). After he left I Googled the replaced part GE 97F9833, it was available on Amazon for $19. I promptly called them and asked why I was charged $316.83? Especially conning me thats how expensive that part is and it is hard to get it from factory and such. I understand someone charging me for part & labor. If they told me part is $50 and we charge labor $1000 per hour I would have hired someone else. So simply put, if you want a honest business that charges you a fair price go somewhere else. I definitely not giving my business to these greedy people."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Collegeville, MN

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.
