My name is Timothy. I am 29 years old. I have been involved with different construction and labor trades since 2010. My primary focus is in carpentry. Mostly unfinished but I have experience with finish carpentry (stand alone cabinets, shelves, tables) as well. I got my start building picnic tables and lawn furniture as a teenager and progressed into deck building / refinishing as well as framing houses. I have a small business for my woodworking that is primarily using my creativity to make art with utility. For example, using recycled skateboards to make handles for hatchets and hammers, picture frames and more. I am also experienced in landscaping and lawn care. I can clean your gutters or put them up for you. If you need junk hauled or help moving, I would be happy to assist. I can assist with assembling different products such as tables, chairs, desks, bed frames, and also with installing fixtures, such as lights, ceiling fans. I have some dry wall experience and can patch holes, paint, caulk and seal your tub. I will be the first to let you know if I am not the right man for your job. I take pride in the work I do and I would rather turn a job down that I am not comfortable or experienced with, than to provide unsatisfactory service to a customer.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Carson City, NV

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.
