Northpoint Roofing Systems is a full home restoration company taking pride in using the highest quality products and installation methods available. Northpoint offers Free Roof Inspections to determine if your roof is in need of just a few repairs or a full roof replacement. Our consultants are fully trained on what to look for and will leave with you a full color print out of the condition of your roof. We can even help you work with you insurance company. Our work is fully backed by our warranty. Contact us today to schedule your free inspection! Our primary business philosophy is to “do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it!”. Cardinal Roofing’s full roof replacements meet or exceed all local building codes and manufacturer’s installation requirements. We include critical items not paid for by insurance such as, ice and water shield at no additional cost to the homeowner. Additionally, we go above and beyond what is required by the shingle manufacturer and local code, by using one nail more per shingle than is required, up to six (6). This reinforces the shingle and increases the wind rating thereby extending the life of the roof. ICE and Water Shield is a membrane like material with an adhesive backing that is installed in the valleys and around roof penetrations (vent, skylights, chimneys) as additional protection in areas most prone to leaks. Workmanship problems will generally surface in the first six (6) months following installation. However, roof replacements by Cardinal Roofing and Restoration includes our 5-Year NO LEAK Workmanship Warranty providing our Customers with added peace of mind. All our employees are covered by General Liability and Workman’s Compensation Coverage. We have a 90% success rate with insurance companies!

"0/5 star rating. Please do not use this company for your HVAC issues. I have had them at my house 5 (that’s correct, FIVE) times in the last two months. Each time they said it was a different problem with my hvac unit and charged me every time. The third technician CURSED like a sailor the entire time and told me that he hated having to work on my hvac unit because he was not supposed to be assigned to my house that day. That same technician has caused water damage in my ceiling from him not installing the part correctly (I found 7 screws and other parts that he did not reinstall along with a gash in the ductwork). Now I have to get the drywall replaced and painted. From the office staff all the way to the managers….please do not use this company. It has been a true nightmare"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Cottondale, AL

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.
