"One of our two 40 gallon gas water heaters went out. We requested a senior service technician to assess options for replacement: two smaller water heaters, one larger water heater, or hot water on demand. The technician was knowledgeable and gave us all the options, and we selected the single heater. They told us all the steps, let us know when the water and electricity were being turned off, and kept the house clean on a messy day. They discovered that our sump pump was malfunctioning and replaced that, too. We purchased our own kitchen faucet, and they installed it. Not an inexpensive set of repairs, but the team was very responsive and professional."

"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."

"During early Dec 2013, during one of the coldest winters in Michigan in 30 years, my furnace was having trouble keeping the house warm so I called Grand Ledge based Aire Serv to do a furnace check-up based on a coupon. They came out quickly and found a crack in the heat exchanger on my 20 year old furnace and shut it off, saying it was unsafe to run. Apparently it was about twice the BTU capacity than needed for the house and the constant shutting on and off had taken its toll. I was not the original owner so I am not sure why they over-sized the furnace.
I asked for quotes on a new furnace on the spot and they tried to sell me a $17,000 furnace and said no enough that the price came down to around $6,000. I really didn't like the very rehearsed sales pitch. It was so focused on how much better their warranty and service was compared to others that I knew it would be pricey. I really wish they had just laid out all their models and the features and prices and just let me pick my comfort level in features and prices rather than a sleazy sales pitch. I recommend you force them to skip the sales pitch and go straight to the facts.
I didn't have time to shop around and the house was very cold so I purchased one that night. They left some infrared heaters at no cost to help keep at least one room warm. I really appreciated that they offered to work a Saturday so we could have heat as soon as possible. They installed everything on time and as promised and were very nice. No complaints on the install experience at all.
I went with a two-stage Amana furnace at half the BTU of the previous furnace. It had no problems keeping the house warm during the rest of that very cold winter. I like the two-stage motor and have to set to always run on low when not heating or cooling. That keeps the air moving through the house for more even temperature and greater comfort - it really is noticeably better than on/off heating.
The exhaust venting couldn't go where they planned due to an unseen obstruction and so they had to vent it somewhere else that was a longer run and required extra work to get outside of the house. They did the extra work at no charge as promised.
Bottom line - they are an excellent company that did high quality work and kept all their promises and gave me an excellent product that fit my needs well and did it all on a tight timeline.
My only complaint is that since I was without heat, I feel I had to pay full price.But that is not their fault - that was mine for letting the furnace go bad and creating the emergency where I couldn't comparison shop.
When they sent me the post-installation survey, I sent a full response equivalent to what I have written here. They never responded back to me.

"Design heating and cooling came in and knocked it out! Only way it could have been faster is if it didn't need to be done. If I find myself needing work done I'm giving their service guy Taylor a call!"

"We called Greg on a Friday morning and he was there that evening. He came back Monday to test the water and then installed a custom built water softener on Thursday.He evaluated what type of softener we needed by asking about our families particular needs. Greg was very knowledgeable of his product, explained exactly what work was going to be performed and the price. I was extremely pleased with his professionalism and punctuality. I would recommend Livingston Plumbing to anyone I know looking for plumbing work and look forward to working with Greg in the future."

"Travis and his crew Installed a new A\C system and removed the existing one for us. He quickly responded to my request for an estimate. He gave me a fair price and delivery quote. After he was awarded the job, he did what he said what he would do and did it in the time frame that he promised. They left their work areas cleaner than they found them. A pleasure to work with. I was very happy with the job they did. I will use them again for Heating and air conditioning needs."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Dansville, MI

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.
