"Palmer Gas recently installed a propane tank for us, and we were impressed with their services. They were excellent to work with. Josh who was the installer was conscientious, knowledgeable and went the extra mile. We highly recommend."

"When we were ready to build a new house, we had intended to install a geo-thermal system because of its extreme energy efficiency, but when the bids came in, the cost was too high. On the very day we were researching what our next best option would be, Bill McGinley (who we had interviewed a month before, but who does not install geo-thermal) called out of the blue with an idea for us to consider. He was at that time installing his first two Acadia Cold Climate Heating and Air Conditioning heat pump system, and thought we should consider it. He gave us the website, and we did our research, and it was exactly what we needed. About the same energy efficiency as the geo-thermal system--at one third the cost. We hired Bill. Bill and his team worked in brutally cold, windy and icy conditions to get this complicated high-tech system installed. Also, because our timeline was left short because of the repeated weather delays, they had to do it all with the carpenters, electricians, plumbers, insulators and me all underfoot and in the way. Yet they were friendly and accommodating toward everybody and kept the environment upbeat and amiable. Which is not to say the job was without its surprises and obstacles. When Bill got a better idea of the size and shape of the house, and how well it was insulated, he downgraded us to a smaller system that saved us more than $2000. But, then that same super-tight insulation also required us to have an air exchanger installed to keep fresh air flowing through the house. They installed that, and still came in well under-budget. I have to say, though, that through this house-building experience, I learned a lot about just how badly the building industry is hurting. Most of the companies bid low and campaign hard to get the contract, and then charge you frightfully high time-and-materials for every little thing they can convince you was not part of their contract, and those bills don't come in till near the end of the job, destroying your budget and your trust. Not Bill. If a change was no big deal, he just did it. Even for some that were a big deal--like having to move the air exchanger exhaust vent because the building inspector did not understand that it was simply exhausting house air into the garage--he did not charge extra. If a really costly change had to be made (like the air exchanger), he could be talked down to a price that made me feel better about it. When I decided to make a change--like expanding from two to four zones, Bill gave me a great price. If I had a complaint of any kind, Bill would talk it through with me until it was resolved to my satisfaction. Bill has been back several times to tweak the system (or reset it when we failed to read the instructions. He is unshakably patient, kind and cheerful. We could not be happier with McGinley and Sons and would enthusiastically recommend them without reservation."

"I bought a really nice regency gas fireplace from South Shore Fireplace and couldn't have been happier with the way they treated me and completed the installation. They were the most attentive and considerate companies I approached which is why I went with them. We couldn't get the time of day from other fireplace stores. These guys were right on the ball from the start. Spent a lot of time going over the different stoves and options that go with them all. The installation was scheduled and went very well. Installers were very thorough and clean. This was a complete installation, needed the chimney as well as the stove. Everything was done perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Recently, the stove I picked had a recall and I was informed and updated by Scott as soon as he had news. This actually went on for a couple of months but Scott would contact me every couple of weeks and let me know what was going on. When the replacement part came in, they scheduled the work IMMEDIATELY and I met Jon, one of the senior techs and installers. Jon was on time, meticulous and thorough. Very clean and organized as you would expect a master craftsman to be. The repair went very well and made my stove run better than ever before. When your happy with a job someone does for you, you hardly ever write a review but something turns sour, people can't write one quick enough. When I need something done, I go online and read all the awful reviews of probably great companies so I do not hire them. This review is for all of you that are like me and come here to get the low down on a business. Do not hesitate to go with South Shore Fireplace. It is very hard to find craftsman who really care about what they do and also so nice to deal with. South Shore Fireplace will be my go to guys for the rest of my life. Love you guys - job well done and sincere thank you for your continued support throughout the years."

"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."

"We own a home in Gloucester that we rent out during the high season. During the hottest week of the summer, two of our central A/C units broke down and we needed to replace them fast. I called ten different A/C companies on a Sunday night—and was amazed that I reached SEASHORE COMFORT SOLUTIONS directly. Sarah sent out someone from their team the next day to do a diagnostic; we ended up replacing the two units within days of that first visit. Every time I called the office, someone answered. Every time I wrote to SEASHORE COMFORT SOLUTIONS, I received quick responses, clear answers and very courteous service. They deserve FIVE STARS every time. When the units were installed, the tech called me about the wall mount placement and then again to tell me they were leaving. SEASHORE COMFORT SOLUTIONS was so easy to work with and I'm relieved to know that they are nearby and ready to help when needed. Thank you to Sarah, Rich, Frank and everyone on the SEASHORE COMFORT SOLUTIONS team!!"

"The guy came and cleaned the furnace but he didn't install the filter correctly and he actually destroyed the filter when he installed it. I followed up with the company. I told them and sent them pictures. They acknowledged and were very sorry. In return, they sent me 2 filters as replacements, one for the faulty one and one because it was their fault. I would say they were good in customer service."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Dunbarton, NH

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.
