"I scheduled our initial appointment with Wayne at Independent's office.

Between us we ran into several scheduling conflicts that caused the appointment

to be changed a few times. Each time Wayne was very prompt in notifying me of the issue and we soon had a mutually

agreeable appointment scheduled.

This morning Mike and Dominic arrived exactly on time, always a good sign.

They walked through both parts of our courtyard home, took a few room measurements and then headed up to the attic.

Within an hour they had analyzed our somewhat poorly designed system, located

the problem (dual dampers installed by the builder in one oversized supply duct

leading to the guest cabana), and corrected it. Already our guest cabana is about 10-12 degrees cooler than it has been for the last two years!!

Mike and Dominic were extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and professional even putting on shoe protectors each time before entering our home.

This is the second time Mike has worked on our system and we will happily recommend Independent A/C to our friends and family.

"Tom and his helper were very curtious and informed me of everything they were going to do before doing it. They arrived on the date that was scheduled and on time. When the project was complete, Tom had no hidden charges and had stuck to the original quoted price. While there, Tom had informed me of a saftey hazard with my furnace and plenum which he showed me an discussed what was needed to make the repairs. Needless to say I gave him that work too."

"Our fridge is 12 years old, and when the ice cream melted we panicked and thought we'd need a new one. But first we consulted Angie's List and chose Coldapplianceman Corporation to do our repair. Mr. Brown responded to our call immediately, but couldn't make it until the next day due to the lateness of the hour. We scheduled to be the first appointment of his day, 8:30am. Unfortunately, he had to wait for some parts and was delayed an hour. Once here, Mr. Brown was efficient, and after listening to me describe the problem, got to work diagnosing the problem. Functioning easily in a very tight space behind our refrigerator (Mr. Brown is not a small man), he quickly eliminated the dreaded compressor possibility and climbed out from behind. Next he checked the temperature control board, where he found the problem. Luckily, he had the part in his truck, which he installed and the fridge has been working great ever since. We would definitely call him again and have already recommended him to our neighbors.

"Bruno is a great service! They have expanded their products to include a gigantic laundry list of products/services. I mention this because, though they are expert at what they do, they also have their techs trained in some serious upselling. This limits some of the core work they used to do, like just fix my A/C. And I don't want new windows! Yep, Bruno will fix my A/C and then install new windows. Great. Now, about my A/C... they have fixed my same float issue twice this year since March. The second tech found that the float fell over??? into the overflow and suggested I change the float system and put in some other techy float/bactroban/infrared/laser guided something-or-other. Roger that. I would probably never get the Robot float system... and here's the kicker: Bruno installed my new A/C unit last year!!! This year, they've been here twice to fix their own design and installation and I have to pay for it! Or, I can spend a grand on Floaty the Robot to fix their dumb design. Cancel the windows please."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Estero, FL

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.
