"The tech arrived very quickly and worked for almost an hour to clear the plugged drain and got the air conditioner back running when the outdoor temperature was in the 90's. Kinty Jones has been our A/C service company for many years as my Dad and I have several rental units, homes and businesses. They were always fair on the price and always there on time and stayed till the job was finished.  You will never be sorry to call them when you have heat or A/C problems in the NW Arkansas area. "

"The best way to go with this company is to buy their and quot;gold membershipand quot; plan, or something like that. Regular visits are made for inspection. If there is an urgent matter that arises, your membership bumps you up to a priority, 24 or 48 hour visit.
I used them for about 2 years.

"Good price, professional, punctual. Even repaired the evaporator coil on the other unit not being replaced for free while they were here (another contractor had bent it causing water to leak into the attic)."

"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.

"We added a spacious garage to our home and wanted to install a mini split system while relocating our existing air conditioning unit. Since my husband and I were new to mini splits, we had plenty of questions. Taylor the owner of Shaffer’s heat and air was incredibly helpful in guiding us to the best system for our house and garage. They sent Stephen out to handle the installation, and Stephen arrived right on schedule, proving to be both friendly and efficient. The project took two days, and on the second day, Taylor joined Stephen to wrap things up. They worked seamlessly together, completing the job on time with everything looking tidy and well-organized. It's been over a year since the installation, and everything is still functioning perfectly! We will definitely be using Shaffer’s heating and air for our next project! Thank you guys!"

"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."

"James was outstanding! Our condenser fan on the AC broke. He was able to get it replaced in less than 24 hours on the hottest day we have had so far! His prices were very reasonable. We will definitely use him again if we have other issues!!"

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.
