"  I am new to El Paso, purchased a home that had an old swamp cooler, that didn’t work and had not worked for years. I contacted four heating and cooling services to place bids for a complete replacement to a new modern heating and cooling system, three bids came in extremely high, and the 4th from ARRON’S Heating and Air Conditioning came in just right for my budget. Now I want to tell of my great customer service experience with the installation of my heating and cooling system, Alonzo Perez the General Manager made me feel quite at ease, and walked me through the process step-by-step, this is an employee ARRON’S should be proud to have representing their company, Alonzo did not find any of my request too big or small for him to finish to my satisfaction, I understand that Arron’s is busy this time of year, Alonzo took all the time that was needed to answer all of my question, which means a lot. This is what it means to have great customer service skills, to kindly help me as if it was not a problem. Alonzo and his crew are some of the many reason I would recommend ARRON’S over other services, their professionalism and mostly their kindness that would keep me returning for my air conditioning needs. Alonzo and his crew are truly treasures ARRON’S. ARRON’S deserve credit for hiring such professional, knowledgeable, quality employees, but most of all for their kindness and for a job well done for their customers, ARRON’S and Alonzo Perez and his crew have my recommendation, I am extremely satisfied with ARRON’S, Sincerely Gary C Palmer (my new Carrier system works great and was installed and working in the time frame and date I was given, no delays, at the the bid I was quoted)"

"Despite being swamped, Gilbert was able to take my job. He arrived promptly and diagnosed the problem quickly. He returned with the part, installed it, and made sure the AC unit was working."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"The team at insulation works did an excellent job of adding insulation to my attic and weatherizing my doors. The house was noticeably cooler immediately after they had finished. Their ability to explain the process, communicate any concerns, and answer all of my questions made them an exceptional experience."

"Sometime in August, my old Master cool died; I called around looking for someone who could do the job and finance it, since I was very short on cash. I called several companies listed here, and the prices ranged from $1200 to $2400 for the small (4500 CFM) unit When I called Bruce, he told me he was on his way to Chaparral,NM, But that he would stop by and check it. After he inspected it, he told me that it needed to be replaced.I asked if he financed and he said no, only refrigeration jobs. I told him that I was strapped for money, and wanted to know how much he'll charge just for the installation. I was going to get an Arctic Cool on credit and wanted him to install it. He told me: "Buddy, I have a used Master Cool, the same size as yours, it's used but in good condition. Can you do $700?, I'll install it and guarantee that you'll have no problems" I agree to the price and then he asked me how I cooled my Master bedroom.(a garage conversion). I told him that I only had that one unit to the whole house.He said "There's no way that your bedroom is cool! If you can do $800, I'll get you a 6500 CFM unit. You'll be getting cold with that one." I got the bigger cooler, but about a month later the motor stopped working; I bought a new one but I was unable to install it. I called Bruce, explained to him what happened and the following day he sent his crew to fix it. It turned out that they needed a new pulley and a new V-belt. When my wife asked how much was owed, they said it's nothing. The first time I met Bruce, and told him how much other people were charging; he told me: "Buddy, there's people making a killing in this business, I like to make a living. We are here to help and look after each other, and that's what I do." This man is a walking blessing to those who have had the opportunity to meet him. I will always recommend him to anyone. May the Divine continue to bless you and all of yours Bruce Chavez."

"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."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Fabens, TX

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.
