"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.

"Owner told me that it would cost around $700 to fix a bearing that went out in my front-loading GE (not very old) washing machine due to the very poor (inconsiderate) engineering design by GE and that I should rather use the $$$ to replace it at the store of my choice (with another brand) than have him repair it... Now THAT is honor in a business situation.

"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."

"Our install was difficult, but went very well. I had hired Bowen to service our existing 15 -20 year old unit, and they helped us keep it running for 3 years until we eventually had to bite the bullet. They replaced the unit with a much more efficient York unit with a 10 year parts and labor warranty for a very fair price. They had to manage through a narrow attic access, but got the job done and we could not be happier. The owners and technicians consistently provided honest answers and met their commitments (time and price), and we would highly recommend them. Finding a small business owner that really understands customer service can be a challenge at times, but we got lucky 3 years ago, and i am glad we started this relationship."

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.
