"The salesman from Extreme One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning, Michael gave me the best price, and I felt he is sincere, so I chose to use this company to replace the Heating & A/C. At 2018-09-06, Michael, Shaun and another guy showed up for the installation. I paid for an XV series Furnace, but the furnace they brought to my home is XR 16. I was told the internal is indeed a XV furnace, but the door is XR 16 door. They already showed up at my door, so I decided to accept it whether it is the wrong furnace or not. Michael, the sales man said that he will replace the wrong furnace door with a right furnace door. But after the installation, he never contacted me again. Shaun and the other guy did the installation, and they had really good attitude, and I appreciate that. Overall, the experience is not too bad. But the wrong door they installed always makes me suspect if they installed the right furnace that I paid for or not."

"The biggest obstacle was scheduling.  The Angie's List confirmation email did not include the instruction to schedule on the Flow-Rite web site.  It took 3 or 4 emails to clarify that which delayed getting the work scheduled. 
The replacement parts worked fine with the exception of some excess plastic on the valve which prevented a tight seal and thus lead to a running toilet.  It took a few minutes with the razor blade to cut the excess off and allowed the seal to form properly.  This probably should have been done by the installer.

"Blair's services were great, from Greg who initially came out to quote the install, to the guys who actually did the install. We hadn't had any experience with local HVAC contractors, it ended up being a wise decision on deciding to deal with them. The install went smoothly, everything went just as planned, great looking work. Adam and the other guy who came out (can't remember his name) were the definition, in my experience, of what it is to be tradesmen. Clearly well-versed in their field, as well as informative without coming off pushy or salesey. Down to earth and professional. Give those guys a raise. Will request them for additional work, next on the list is an electronic air cleaner for the furnace."

"The previous owners of our new house had a cat.  I'm pretty allergic, so I knew I wanted to have the ductwork cleaned to avoid any reaction.  I read A LOT of reviews and had heard so much about issues with this industry - about work not being performed and about the bait and switch some companies try to pull.  I kept going back to Hi Tech as my top pick.  When I talked to Aaron at Hi Tech, he put all my fears to rest. He explained their process in detail and the fact that they have NO hidden costs or add ons.  It's a set price of $350 for 10 vents and $20 more for each one beyond that.  That's it.  
The crew of 2 arrived promptly at the scheduled time, walked through the house to assess the rooms and the basement.  Even though the house was empty, they were very careful and respectful of my home.  The guys worked a solid 4 hours cleaning the ducts.  They showed me inside one of the basement lines with their phone camera so I could see how it looked afterwords.  After they took the equipment outside, they even showed me the filter and pile of dirt they vacuumed out.  It wasn't too terribly dirty, but enough so that I'm sure glad I called Hi Tech.  I feel like this was money well spent.
Seriously, don't hesitate to hire these guy!

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

Local HVAC technician who aims for quick, affordable, but most importantly quality work 100% of the time. I've been in the business for 5 years now, unlike some I take a lot of pride in my work. I love what I do, make people comfortable in their own home!

They completed the job in less than one day and even hauled the old unit away. When the initial inspection of the unit was completed, the technician discussed all of the possibilities with the repair. He was honest with me and suggested replacing the unit and the furnace as well while he was there. I like that when he gave me the estimate, both the technician and I signed it. This was all at his suggestion, which I appreciated. Overall, it turned out very well.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Fairfield, OH

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.
