"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

"Furnace failed on 12/2/17. Excel came out on 12/4 (or maybe 12/5) to look at unit - told me it needed to be replaced. I shopped around for a bit then notified them on 12/14 that I wished for them to do the work. Furnace had to be ordered and installation was scheduled for 12/28. Excel called me on 12/27 to report that the furnace was still in Chicago - rescheduled installation for 1/2/18 which is when it was finally installed. On a positive note, everyone I dealt with at Excel was very respectful and polite. They arrived promptly and notified me 30 minutes ahead of their arrival, sending me texts with the names and photos of who would be coming. They worked efficiently and cleaned up extremely well after they were done. I noticed a problem with condensation leaking from a PVC pipe placed during the installation onto the top of the furnace. I called the office to report it and they promptly sent someone out to look at it. They ended up changing the configuration of the pipe which fixed the problem. They were again meticulous in their clean-up afterward. Other than being quite cold for a month, I was overall very satisfied with Excel Heating a & Cooling."

"We have used Evergreen twice.  We were having issues with the breaker blowing when we would take showers in our hallway bathroom.  The only things on were the light and the fan so we weren't sure why it would blow from that.  They checked the breaker and everything on the system and finally found that it was the light part of the exhaust fan (that didn't even have a light bulb in it).  They gave us a military discount and I felt we got a good price.  They were about an hour later than they said they would be, but were very nice and courteous when they showed up and did a great job.  So when we were having an issue with another circuit a week later they came out and found a burned outlet in our dining room and replaced it for us.  Again, they were about an hour later than they said they would be, but were very professional and courteous and were able to complete the work quickly.  They gave us a military discount again and I think we got a great price for a great job done.  We were happy with Evergreen and will use them for any future electrician needs."

"New installation went well. I was a little upset that only 50% was covered being that the unit was 19 years old. I'm sure that parts for something that old would be hard to find. Replacement was recommended."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Elkton, VA

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.
