"Called on Sunday 11/9. Was told about the after hours service charge and ok?d the charge. Was told tech would be here in 2 hrs. Took 3. Told him again about ac not working. Checked it out said I was low on Freon. OK?d the work. Checked other stuff said there wasn?t a problem. AC started to work. After 90 minutes and $301.00 he left. AC stopped working the next day and hasn?t worked since. Today is the 15th. I have filed a complaint with the Arkansas Attorney General?s Office. I do not recommend this service."

"Anderson Heating and Air installed my units when my house was built. I joined their club to get my units inspected each year and 6 years in they tell me that my gas line and sediment trap were built wrong when they were installed. I said well y?all hooked y?all installed it so you should fix it for free. I talked to 2 different managers and they just keep blaming the plumber which makes no sense because this protects the unit from getting sediment in it. They don?t care about doing the right thing. "

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Fayetteville, AR

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.
