"Couldn’t have been better! Our air conditioner stopped working on Saturday, and with temperatures looming in the high 90’s this week, we needed help fast. Aire Serv called in the morning, and came right out. Aaron was our wonderful technician. This young man was so nice and explained everything so that I could understand. He paid attention to detail. This company showed that they cared, and didn’t want us to suffer in the extreme heat. I highly recommend Aire Serv and will definitely use their services when needed in the future. Susan, Louisville"

"Absolutely no problems. The installers were professional, efficient and took care of all problems. The price was reasonable and no hidden charges. I would highly recommend One Choice Mechanical and will use them in the future. When I had the old furnace and ac serviced in the past, the technician was methodical and my old furnace ran better than it ever had. After 45 years of service out of my old furnace and ac, it finally bit the dust. Hopefully, the new one will outlive me."

"Responded quickly to a quote request. Provided a professional quote. Did not use because the brand they normally use for replacement was not what I was looking for. Will contact again if I need future work."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"The technician was professional and did a good job in installing the ceiling lights. I do have concerns regarding a labor rate of $120. per hour per man. I am also concerned that he took time away from installing the lights to check per his form whether the main water shutoff was grounded and whether our outside electric meter had a 8ft copper ground rod. We have had a number of electricians come out over the years, including a NCM electrician, without these issues being of concern ,.or needing to be addressed To me the identified issues were extraneous to the matter at hand so he could check the boxes on his form. The ten minutes that he took to check the above issues and try to sell a no ground rod installation should have been off the clock and I should not have been charged for that time. I would do further reviews, before deciding whether I would hire again."

"Very expensive service... I was charged 210 dollars for 5-minute reprogramming of my new ecobee4 thermostat. I requested a technician to come to check my Air conditioner as my electric bill was higher compared to the last year.. he found nothing wrong with the system. I suggested to him that it might be the newly installed ecobee4 thermostat. He checked the wiring was good. He found out that it's set up to auxiliary heat as primary and reprogrammed it and charged me 210 dollars without letting me know it will be that expensive prior to the reprogramming... Imagine, 5-minute setup of the thermostat and they charge you 210 dollars.. I will never recommend them to anyone"

"Chris was great to work with, he arrived first thing the next day and quickly diagnosed my issue, which ending up being a leak in the coil. He ordered the needed part and installed it as soon as it arrived. Chris was very personal and friendly to interact with while giving me a very understandable explanation of the situation! If your looking for a local company to do a great job then call Epps HVAC!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Elizabethtown, KY

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.
