"Prior to calling Bob, we had several guys come in to give us estimates. Bob's estimate was by far the best and the work he did was top quality. He and his guys moved my existing furnace to a new location int he basement and installed a new AC. They also moved the hot water heater. I am very pleased with his service. They were prefessional and respectful. Bob is a straight shooter. Absolutely no BS! I will be using him for ALL of my future HVAC needs. I HIGHLY recommend you call him and have him come give you an estimate if you need service, repair or replacement.

"They had to replace and install the new heating system. They are wonderful and we have used them probably for over 10 years now. They are available day in and out. They are I believe a smaller company so if there is any issues and anything to discuss, you have the ability to talk to the owner. They actually replaced the heater one time before and it was a bad unit. It wasn't anything we did or anything they did, it was just that the unit was faulty. The whole unit flamed up our heating system. They came out and completely replaced the unit; they actually fixed everything that was screened for coil, I guess it's commonly known among these people and they didn't charge for that. This happened about four to five years ago. They are just very good and gave a very good deal as we were using them for more than 5 years. We told them to purchase a new unit, but they replaced it with a very good deal. They are just a great set of people. Overall the experience was excellent and will continue to use them."

"I highly recommend Insulation Pros of KC for your insulation needs. Kyle the Sales Manager: made it easy to understand what I needed. Josie the Office Manager: took the time to answer my questions when I called, and was the one responsible for my decision to go with Insulation Pros. The installation crew: Devon, Tyler and Leo were a great team to work with, very personable and just all around nice guys who did a great job with the installation. Tanner - the Production Manager, who came by to see that everything was going like it should. From the first meeting with Kyle to the time the crew drove away, it was easy and pleasant to work with this company and they did a great job. Attached are pictures to show the 22" of insulation in my attic! :)"

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"Tap Heating and Cooling came while I was at work and my wife was home taking care of our newborn.  The technician, Jeff, was very polite and very quiet as well (as we had a newborn sleeping) which I found to be amazingly courteous.  He performed the cleaning and inspection of our furnace very quickly and efficiently.  When Jeff was finished, he let my wife know the the circuit board was mounted improperly, but that he went ahead and took care of it as it was a very simple fix.  As well, a filter was included in this service.  I had recently replaced our filter (not realizing I was going to take advantage of this awesome Angie's List deal) and he let my wife know that the filter was still good and that he left a new one next to the furnace for next time.  We recently moved here, but Tap Heating and Cooling is for sure my go-to in the area from now on as they showed nothing but professionalism, honesty, and courteousness while in my home.  Thanks Jeff and Tap Heating and Cooling, I'll see you in summer for my A/C tune up!

"Overall, everything went well.  He arrived on time.  He was very conscious about cleaning up after working. The outlet in my garage and the bathroom light fixture were a challenged to install so it took him about 90 minutes to install it. The light fixture needed a box but he managed to run a wire through the dry wall to install without using a box.  He spent about 30 minutes to replace the two electrical boxes which had worn out.
He appeared to be very honest and he did great work.  His prices were reasonable too.

"I used Ben Franklin. I think what they do is send out different plumbers on their list. The first one was a bummer. he ripped me off and overcharged. The next time they sent out a different plumber who was an older man. When he heard about my first experience,  He got on the phone and called the company, when they finished the job they took off $400 off of my bill. If I could have that man every time. The first guy totally overcharged me. 

I have some more things to have done, but don't know if I can afford it. I wish I could have the second guy who came out.  I would consider using them again.

The price kind of sting me, the faucet was very expensive. I think thats why the nd plumber called and got me the refund. He used the fair price guarantee. I think $600 for a kitchen faucet is kind of steep myself.  Thats one of the things I complained about to the nd plumber. One of the things being advertised being AL they were going to replace an outside faucet for $79 and the first guy charged me almost $300. 

If Benjamin is just working with several plumbers in my area and they see who is available at the time in my zip code, Unless they have vetted the people themselves personally and know what they are going to do, it isn't such a great deal. 

They did the work I asked, just the pricing between the 2 different plumbers were a bummer. 

I thought $1353 was excessive, replacing an outside water faucet, routing out the pipes from 2 sinks. They told me they couldn't clean out the existing faucet enough for it to work, so I bought the faucet he had in the truck. 

My nd experience was great, came out in time.  For professionalism, the first plumber was overcharging but the second plumber was fair and was good for retired people.

"Dave replaced my old AC unit and evaporator with a brand-spanking, new one. My wife and I were very happy with the final product and the investment we made. Dave installed a concrete pad for the new, larger unit and built and installed an iron cage to protect it from any potential theft. Also, Dave was very good about working around our busy schedule. Dave would be the first person we call if we need additional work around the house."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Excelsior Springs, MO

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.
