"It went smoothly, beautifully and quickly!  I had been waiting for 10 days for Gallagher's to do  repairs with no success, just me calling them and them telling me that I can only speak with the technician.  Since I was getting nowhere with Gallagher's, I called Bob's Air Repair.  Their team came within 2 hours.  I gave them the information that I was told from Gallagher's regarding what was looking bad, (i.e. the fan motor).  Then Jon, from Bob's Air Repair diagnosed a problem which was not even mentioned from the tech from Gallagher's. He stated that a capacitor was bad and that he'd like to replace it first to see if that is all that is wrong with the unit, to avoid unnecessary costs.  But the unit was still only blowing warm air so Jon informed me he would need to replace the fan motor as well. It was at this point that I want to stress how much I appreciate Jon.  Since I knew a fan motor was on order from Gallagher's and that I did not want to deal with Gallagher's for this, Jon stated that I may want to call them to see if I would be getting charged anything before I cancel an order for a part that I ordered.  Gallagher's would NOT even give me an answer to that question, again stating that I had to wait to speak with the tech who came out to my house originally.  I told them that was unacceptable to wait any longer and that I am canceling the order.  I then gave Jon the OK to install the fan motor that was already in their truck!  I also needed a new thermostat installed and I made 2 requests about that.  It had to be digital and have a very easy way to change the batteries.  Bob's Air Repair had one that matched my standard.  Within minutes of all these repairs, I had cool air blowing through the house and it was just in time for the triple digit heat!  I've told my neighbors and now I'm telling those on Angie's List, Bob's Air Repair will take care of you!

"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.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"We purchased a heat pump. The sales rep was professional and very knowledgeable. He didn’t try to sell us more than we needed as others did. Sears worked with us on fast installation. The install process could have been neater, but we are picky. The heat pump is wonderful and we’re very happy with it."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Feather-falls, CA

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.
