"My 30+ year air handling system failed. Mr. Holmes knew that this part of my system was probably done with. He tried a couple of parts that did not work. He had to leave for another appointment, but took a photo and did some research. His suppliers told him that this handler did not exist any more. However, one supplier found one on a shelf, and could ship it, but would not guarantee performance since it was so old. Mr. Holmes gave me an option of getting and installing the air handler or replace whole new system (new compressor unit and updated air handling unit) with a 10 year guarantee. I mulled it over and called him back and opted for the whole new system. Bart came back out, evaluated what I needed and gave me a quote. Bart was able to obtain the system on Saturday morning and a crew and the whole system was installed and running by 3:30 PM on Saturday. I highly recommend this company, because Mr. Holmes is very honest and educational. Another positive experience with Angie's list."

"

I contacted this company to get estimates for three different projects. We had met with two other professionals who had recommended that our A/C unit was replaced immediately. Weathershield gave us other options. They sent two guys to make an assessment and it turn out to be one the best experiences during my home remodeling project.

John and his partner completed a through assessment of my A/C unit and made recommendations based on what I was requesting. With his assessment and recommendations we were able to save money and still get work done. He explained to us that although our unit was dated it did not need immediate replacement. He recommended that we clean coils and gave us different options for the new vent. He sent additional information via email on AC units including an estimate for a new unit and  our very much needed ceiling insulation.

We decided to hire this company based on our experience with the John and the information he shared with us. Their prices were very reasonable prices when comparing them to the other two companies. They sent Jose and his partner for the new vent and they did a great job. The work was neatly done and the room cools like a the rest of the house. John came to clean our coils. He removed the entire unit and cleaned everything to perfection. Our A/C unit is working fine.

I highly recommend this company based on my experience with the quality of the work performed and most importantly their honesty. From their customer service staff to their technicians this company deserves an A. 

Once we complete some electrical work in the house, we will hire them for the installation of the ceiling insulation.

"I have never used this company in the past and was very surprised with the on time commitment of the appointments and communications. Everything I was told actually happened as promised. The repairman was very knowledgeable and professional. He reviewed his findings in detail and explained my options. I researched the cost of the evaporator and found the quoted price very competitive.

"They were responsive and did everything promised. New unit was installed within 24 hours of first contact. Owner, Robert Tinley could not have been more accommodating. Felt great about commitment to warranty for goth parts and labor and appreciated the confidence of a no change order guaranty. After install, they followed up to respond to questions, provide paperwork and complete city inspection. Could not have been more pleased with the experience."

"Angel did a project for us installing a sauna heater on the exterior of our house and replacing our old electric panel. His guys did a great job, kept the site clean, and the total turn around time on the project from quote to finished was very fast. A few weeks go by and the sub-breaker to the sauna heater starts smoking. I called Angel, he remembered the project, and immediately sent his guys to fix it. Even tho the problem was likely from the heater manufacturer, Angel's guys fixed it a day later no questions asked, gratis. Will continue to use them for electric projects!"

"Great! Very satisfied with everything. Be sure to ask for Dustin, he was very professional but also friendly. We got three quotes, including Costco. A-max was a little above the lowest, but we were very impressed with his attitude and knowledge. That was a wise decision. Not only did he give us great advice, but he came to the house to supervise the installation. When we found that the air was whistling through the louvers on the a/c closet doors, he came back after hours, and the next day had an extra return air grille installed in the wall at no charge. This was in March, and the unit has been working really well, and is way quieter than the 20 year old system it replaced. We recommend A-Max 100%."

"I found this company had high ratings so we contacted them for an estimate to replace our non-function air conditioner. They were the cheapest estimate out of three others we got. The installation went great and was completed in less than four hours. I love our new thermostat that they installed because I can use it with my Iphone which helps while my wife and I are at work. Overall, very please with the service we recieved from this company. I will use them again in the future."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Doral, FL

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.
