"I thought they listened well to the needs and proposed a good furnace solution. Installation was smooth. Post-installation, though, has been a bit disquieting. Shortly after install I got an envelope in the mail from them addressed to a different last name. I guessed it was intended for me anyway and opened it. It had a copy of an application to Lennox in my name for an extended warranty, denied. This was surprising since I thought I was buying a unit with extended warranty. Eventually I figured out that Lennox' denial was because the unit came with the longer warranty so no extended warranty was available; all Aire Serv had managed to do was purportedly bind me to arbitration with Lennox. Very strange. The Saturday after install the thermostat reported, "Unable to contact furnace." Since I had 24/7 first year service I thought I'd call. Aire Serv basically took the position that they didn't like or do after-hours support for the thermostat I'd specified (a Lyric instead of the Lennox proprietary). In fact at that point their recollection was that they "had tried to talk me out of the Lyric." We had had no such conversation. They were willing to talk me through hot-wiring the furnace, but temperatures were mild and that wasn't what I was after; I was mostly just trying to determine whether there was an issue with the furnace. I scheduled Monday service, but eventually figured out that they had installed the thermostat with a dead battery. Disappointing on a big ticket item. By the way, still happy with the Lyric and don't regret at all not buying the Lennox."

"One tech, Jacob Bailey, did a thorough testing and servicing of the A/C and then reviewed immediate and future concerns about the system. He made recommendations about further diagnostic testing and a recommendation about the likely need to replace the blower capacitor. Will Adams found a leak in the instant hot water dispenser and said it needed to be replaced. He suggested options for Roth doing the entire replacement and install or purchasing the unit and then having it installed Both techs were clear in their presentation of what needed to be addressed and offered options without any pressure."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"He did a very good job.  Be prepared for all of the extra's they will ask for beyond the initial deal.  I will say we have a lot more airflow going through our heater now and the dryer really needed it.  We had two cancellations before they came on the last time.

"We recommend this company. They understood the basics and had our furnace running within 5 minutes. Also they have solid knowledge on the internal component functionality. In the event we have a problem again they pointed us in the right direction to get it fixed in the future."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Donald, OR

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.
