"I have been using East Coast Comfort for heating and air-conditioning for years and I have always been pleased. They installed a new system for us years ago, did it for far less than other estimates we received, and we have reduced our energy costs because of it."

"We have a yearly maintenance agreement with them after they installed our air conditioner. They're very efficient. They come when they say they're going to come and do their work. The last time they were here for AC, they did find a problem and fixed it at no charge."

"From the first contact with Greg at Patriot, our experience was great! He returned calls promptly, answered all of our questions, and treated us with respect. Of all the bids we received for our new AC install, his was the lowest. I would have paid more for the great experience! Greg made sure his best install team was assigned for the job and personally inspected the job when it was completed. I wasn't present for the install and had a question; Greg returned my call within 10 minutes that evening to answer my question. I've already recommended Patriot to a neighbor and a co-worker. They'll be my go-to for all of my heating and AC needs. Thanks, Greg, Donna and the Patriot team!"

"We were doing some upgrades in our older house and I wanted to have central A/C and to remove the old baseboard heating system. I contacted a couple of the larger A/C contractors and they all came in around the same price while using different manufacturers and in some cases even different sized systems. I found an ad for Green Heating and called Dan who quickly scheduled a visit. I liked Dan from the start. He's down to earth and personable. His price was excellent, he was a couple thousand dollars cheaper than one of the other contractors while quoting almost the same equipment (one of the components that Dan used was a new version than the other guy quoted). When we were finally ready for the installation, Dan worked with me to schedule the installation and he did it in the time promised and in the time frame he quoted. I like the system and we were very comfortable in our home this summer, which was hot and this was the first summer that we've had whole house AC. In 9 months we have had 0 issues with the system. I whole heartedly recommend Dan and will use him when general system checks or any maintenance is needed."

" I took my auto here for inspection on the recommendations of my friend and Angie's List reviewers. They inspected my car and replaced the wiper blades as needed. I was shocked to find they did not try to "push" all kinds of other unnecessary repairs as my prior auto repair place always did when I took the car for inspection. I spoke to Ed the owner when I picked up the car. He said my car was fine and I told him I appreciated the fact that they did not push repairs. I will be bringing my car here from now on."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Dresher, PA

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.
