"After a recent problem with our gas line, our utility company mentioned that we needed to install sediment traps on our older hot water heater and our furnace. We called Flow-Rite for this, and they did the job quickly and well, as well as answering any questions that we had. We'll definitely be using them for larger jobs in the future.

"I thought the crew of two men were thorough and did what the company promised to do for the cost I expected when I called to make the appointment.    They are not the cheapest company providing the service, but I was impressed by the information I got over the phone on what would be done and why.  They are referred to by several of the HVAC service firms here in town.

I researched the need for duct cleaning on Consumer Reports and other web sites.  Overall there are mixed reviews as to whether professionally cleaned ducts help the interior air..  That being said, some of my neighbors have had it done and liked the results.  They cautioned me that doing the 2nd floor was not necessary as the dust in a home settles DOWN as does construction debris that a contrtactors crew member might find its way into an HVAC duct.    Makes sense to me.

I felt that I wanted to get as clean an interior atmosphere for my severly allergic spouse as is possible, so I opted for the full service, both furnace systems.  If I were to have the cleaning done again in ten or 15 years or after a significant re-hab work inside the home, I would just do the lower floor furnace and air handeling system, shutting down and or closing off the 2nd floor system for the duration of the re-habbing if possible.

"First, let me just say that Hauser's after-sale support is absolutely excellent. They were responsive and eager to help correct any problems we encountered. The problem is not so much with Hauser Air's current staff but the salesman (Jim) who sold us the system and design. When we purchased our house, we knew the system was rather old. After one hot summer and one cold winter, we decided that we needed to completely upgrade it as the interior temperature fluctuation was unacceptable. We got bids from five different contractors for Trane and American Standard systems (both are basically the same products with different brands). Jim came in to our home and sounded very confident in the system that he wanted to sell to us, pointing to his decades of experiences dealing with houses in Southwest Ohio. The technicians sent to us by Hauser were all excellent. They were respectful and diligent in their working. They also did a great job cleaning up any debris. There were some glitches in the installation process that they handled well. However, after the installation, it became apparent that the system wasn't performing up to what Jim assured us. First, while temperature fluctuation inside the house became less, it was nowhere near what Jim had told us. Secondly, we revisited what Jim had told us on the day of his visit and what was actually installed and found a couple of discrepancies. He told us that we would get a second touchscreen thermostat control on the second floor but it was instead simply a temperature sensor. He also initially told us that the package included an Aprilaire humidifier with accurate humidity controls but instead we received an American Standard humidifier that is far less capable. Meanwhile, the zoning system also didn't initially function as intended and repeatedly caused the system to shut down due to air flow issues. Finally, Jim also mischaracterized the zoning system to us. On his sales visit, he told us that he'd zone the downstairs and upstairs when in fact the actual zoning system was more along the lines of downstairs vents being split 40/60, with the 40% downstairs vents grouped along with all supply vents upstairs. Lastly, the humidifier did not have a drain hose installed, splashing water all over my basement floor for several days before the technicians came out to fix it. With all that went wrong, why am I still willing to hire Hauser again in the future? Because their technicians are so nice and responsive. And the system, while nowhere near what Jim had promised us, is still much improved from the 21 year old Carrier system that it replaced. I've also heard some very good things about Hauser's owner, Roy, and his technicians made it clear to me that Roy treats his workers very well and is passionate about his business, and I really respect that. Despite Jim's over-promise and under-delivery, I'm willing to give Hauser the benefit of doubt on this very expensive and disappointing purchase. In hindsight, it's rather clear to me that Jim simply didn't understand the system that he was selling. In fact, on subsequent visits by Hauser's excellent technicians to fix the numerous mistakes made due to Jim's initial design, it became abundantly obvious that Jim simply didn't possess the technical knowledge of how this particular zoning system works before committing to a system. Although the technicians suggested some potential improvement to the design that should improve the overall comfort of the zoning system, it would also cost us even more than the $13,000+ we already sunk into everything. Quite frankly, the overall experience was sorely disappointing. Apparently, Jim no longer works for Hauser. I have no idea whether this is due to customer complaints or whatever. I just wish that I had gone with Thomas Watkins initially, since their salesperson's suggested system design is identical to what Hauser technicians later proposed. It could've spared me a whole lot of headache and hassle over the past year. The simple version of my review is: Hauser Air should be perfectly fine for most of your needs, but unfortunately my experience with them was through a salesperson who didn't understand the expensive products he was selling and over-promised/under-delivered during his brief tenure with Hauser. However, I would like to emphasize that Hauser's technicians and staff are exceptional and among the best I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with."

"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.

"I am very pleased with the overall service from Gerry. I called multiple companies but this one was the easiest to schedule an appointment and the fastest to come for the repair. He fixed the fallen siding due to high speed winds and also repaired something that another company incorrectly installed. Thank you for the great service! I definitely recommend Gerry."

"After installation there were various problems that required my propane provider to become involved. Comfort solutions took care of all of the coordination as both companies worked to locate and resolve the problems. All said it took 2 days. By the 2nd day the service manager was on-site with the technician. The attention and responsiveness were excellent. That really went a long way to easing what could have been an extremely frustrating experience. Excellent customer service."

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Felicity, 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.
