"Kevin was great! The rest of the company not so much. Kevin diagnosed the problem immediately as the thermostat, had a replacement in the truck, and completed the installation of the new unit quickly. He showed me how to program the updated version, and everything seemed to be fine - until the next morning. Turned out the replacement was defective. When I called, I was told that they might not be able to get back to me that day, but Kevin interrupted his schedule to come back and put in a new (and working) unit at no charge."

"We had Mark from Panda HVAC come to clean our two HVAC units for winter use. We knew there was an existing problem with one of the units and that we were on the verge of having to replace it. Mark confirmed our suspicions, and also noticed some other issues that needed to be addressed. He didn't pressure us at all, and when we requested a quote for a replacement unit, he was prompt and fair and found us the best price. His team showed up promptly on the day we scheduled and finished ahead of schedule, replacing the heater with a minimum of downtime -- good thing, as it was one of the coldest days of the year and about to get colder! They were professional, courteous, and thorough. I will definitely hire Panda HVAC again."

"I woke up the last week and my bedroom was freezing cold. I called Arvada Heating because they had really great reviews online and they didn’t disappoint us at all. They sent over a technician and within an hour or two the tech was able to restore our heat. 5 stars for Arvada!!!"

"The process of meeting for an estimate through installation was seemless! The 2 men did an excellent job installing my mini split and cleaned up before leaving. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again in the future!"

"Price was very fair and entire project was professionally handled. I own a brick Tudor home and was very concerned abut preserving the character and beauty of the home. HVAC plus designed a system that barely interfered with either the inside or outside architecture. Every step of the Installation was performed in a timely, efficient manner from the design stage to the tutorial. Highly recommended."

"Extremely professional, and friendly at the same time. Took the time to explain everything that was happening very clearly and patiently. They were also happy to defer replacing the heating coil until the weather got cooler, and didn't hesitate to defer a significant cost of the job until that work was completed. I would definitely call them back for any future hvac needs."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Elmont, NY

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.
