"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."

My mother's air conditioning unit was about 20 years old and for the past 2 - 3 summers, she had had problems with the air going out. She used a warranty company but this time they wouldn't help saying she had had someone outside of the company work on her unit (which she hadn't). After many calls and conversations, she realized they would not help. She called me (my mother lives in St. Louis, but I live out of state) asking for assistance. I went online and called several companies, it was close to the holiday weekend and no one wanted to come out and to give a quote until the following week - after the 4th of July! My last call was to Manson's Heating & Cooling. They answered the call promptly - I didn't have to go through a series of prompts and button pushing to speak with someone, and they agreed to come out that same day. When the technician arrived (Kim), he checked everything out and stated her unit was basically worn out and did need to be replaced (which is what the two companies through the warranty company said also). At this point her air had been out for about two weeks with the temperatures in the 90's and she was desperate. He quoted her a very reasonable price, and she called to have me speak with the technician. He was very straight forward and explained to me what was going on with her unit, and why it needed to be replaced. I explained that I would be paying for the unit to be replaced, but that I lived out of state and could not get the funds to my mother's account until that Thursday or Friday. We were able to work out a deal over the phone that was comfortable for each of us and God Bless him, he put her unit in the next day!

I called her back that Tuesday and she was so happy to have them there putting in her new unit. She stated they were so nice and respectful. They arrived around 8 am that morning and everything was completed by early afternoon. She has had no further problems with her air and hopefully it will remain that way long into the future. But if something does happen, our first call will be to Manson's Heating & Cooling!

"Scott was prompt. He also was flexible with scheduling the appointment. He was able to meet on Saturday without additional charges. He diagnosed the problem quickly to be a bad capacitor. He had one in his truck and replaced it quickly. The whole appointment took only 15 minutes. Scott is friendly, professional, prompt and honest. Above that, his pricing is very reasonable."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Dittmer, MO

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.
