"Could not recommend more. Prices were very reasonable for install of an AC unit, and we had gotten multiple quotes before deciding on HVAC Doctor. Everything was done incredibly fast from the free quote to the install. The owner was very straightforward and honest which we appreciated more than anything. We will be using them for our hvac needs going forward and will be recommending them to others."

"Eric and John did plumbing work at my home a month ago, and I was happy to see their familiar faces arrive to replace our broken bathroom sink. I had purchased a replacement sink that was ready for installation. The cracked sink was removed and the new sink installed. Eric quoted the job before the work was done so I had no surprise costs upon completion. Because I had previously purchased Aquarius’ annual plumbing repair plan, I was able to save on the service fee and saved an additional 15% on the job. Once again, I was impressed with Eric and John’s professionalism and attention to detail. The replacement is installed better than the original had been by my previous plumbing company."

"I thought the plumber would have the fairly standard unit I needed. He didn't, so to get it fixed I went to Home Depot and bought a good replacement while plumber removed the old unit. That worked well and he said I saved a couple of hundred so, good. I haven't paid yet, because he needs to get new seats for the old bathroom sink faucet that has a very slow leak. Need to finish that part or just call it a project and take care of the bathroom later."

"Installation of a new natural gas water heater was done in about 3 hours. He had to come up with a way to have the water heater raised as it sits on a drain pad and the flat surface of the heater bottom would have closed off the drain. The old heater has legs. He used PVC pipe pieces to elevate this new heater. He replaced the gas shutoff valve and the water shutoff valve. The old ones were over 36 years old."

"I had an old water heater (was in the house when I moved in about 20 years ago) and it started to leak. After shutting off the water to the water heater, I did a little Angie's List research to find a company to do the replacement. I called a couple and decided to use Randy Lane, based on cost and my interaction with them, which I felt was cordial and helpful, and made an appointment.
The service person arrived on time on the day of the appointment and went to work. He disconnected the old heater and hauled it out. The new heater was brought in and he did the needed plumbing work to connect the water and also made the natural gas connections. He fired up the unit and briefed me on the new unit - how to turn-off the water and gas, if needed, temperature, etc.
The area was left in the same condition as when he arrived.

"Went very well. Installers were very courteous, knowledgeable, and everything went smoothly. They had the new gas valve that was needed to bring the connection up to current code, had the city of MInneapolis permit all completed. Both men were very personable. They were much better than the office people I talked to prior...to set up appt. But all turned out great."

Computer h*** exists! My wife's work computer (an old Gateway) developed problems (required start up 3-4 times prior to

image on monitor). I had retained (at that time) a 1 1/2 yr. old Dell 745 and a  1 1/2 yr. old Dell 840 Power Edge Server from my business upon retirement. I took the Gateway to my previous Tech who transferred data to t;he Dell 745.  Within 30 days the 745 began refusing to start up. I chkd. Angie's List  (my previous Tech was unavailable due to her employer's business volume) and read No. Ala. Technical Svs. reviews; called Jim Ferrell who returned my call from out of town. Jim undertook the "exam' and clean-up remotely. When the problem was not resolved remotely, we agreed to meet in a highly public spot for Jim to take the Dell 745 in for service. (I might add that on three occasions of personal meetings with Jim, he was prompt to the minute).
    After exam (a couple of days) Jim  texted that it would appear the mother board was failing. I told him that I had the Dell 840 Power Edge Server and asked if data could be transferred to it. Jim did transfer the data, installed all the back up files (e-mail, photos, billing files, correspondence, etc. that he had backed up for us (just in case). Delivered both units back to me.  We encountered a problem with our e-mail provider and setting up Outlook that evening. I called Jim who then spent another couple of hours to resolve that problem. 
    In the midst of all this, my wife got discouraged because of the "continuing" computer problems, went out to a big box store and bought a Toshiba laptop.The cursor would not work and she had to use a mouse to use the laptop. After 3 weeks she returned the laptop to the big box (which was most courteous in their concierge procedure).
    We have been using our converted Server as a desk top station for the last month without incurring any problems. I would recommend No.  Ala. Technical Services and Jim Ferrell to anyone for computer repair. I found Jim to be diligent, knowledeable, cost conscious, concerned, and reliable. Larry P. Young

"Willem arrived on time, installed the humidifier, and explained it's operation. We ran into a bit of glitch with space for the unit, but with the aid of a saw it was overcome. I won't know how well it works until winter arrives in a few months.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Dayton, 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.
