"Excellent from start to finish. Went way above and beyond the call of duty. Started with Alex who gave us a estimate and did testing and measurements and explained all our options. Ed the company general manager corrected a previous problem created by another installer. Then 3 very knowledgeable installers spent 10 hours moving our air handler down to the garage from the attic. All 3 were very polite and we'll dressed and answered every question I had. Thanks so much to Henry, Ernie and Dalton for putting up with my constant questions. Best service ever and cleaned up everything before they left. This is a company that goes out of the way to please the customer."

"It was amazing. They are very professional. They even clean after themselves. My unit was cooling in no time. They also pointed out some areas where my unit needs attention which was great cause I don’t want it to break down again. Thank you YMG for a great experience."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"The crew did a great job in removing the existing roof (shingles, underlayment, and damaged plywood), and hauling off the debris. The existing ridge vents and drip edge were also replaced. New Owens Corning shingles were installed. Care was exercised to save existing gutters, soffit and fascia. All work was completed per Florida building codes, and included obtaining and posting permits with the city. Once the job on the roof was completed, the site was magnetically swept for nails. A wind mitigation report was prepared and delivered. The overall job was completed exceptionally well."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Fernandina Beach, FL

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.
