"Perfect! Doug is an expert Plumber that knows private water system. He removed the old equipment and installed the new. Everything is still working great. The work was done almost 13 years ago. We used all Top of the line Gould Equipment. I probably should call Doug to replace it again because breakdowns with the water system can leave you stranded."

"I recently contracted with Holtzople HVAC to replace two systems that were over 20 years old. I researched several manufacturers/local vendors. I selected Holtzople based on their outstanding reviews, Trane-certified/preferred installer status and numerous conversations with the gentleman (Josh) who helped select the systems I needed. Holtzople was able to acquire and install my new systems within a week. The installation team (Andrew, Shane, Eric, and Jake) was nothing short of excellent - very courteous, respectful of my property, privacy, and time. The installation itself was extremely well done and clean - these gentleman were obviously well trained and proficient in their craft. I am very pleased with my purchase and would strongly recommend Holtzople HVAC to friends and family!"

"We hired Tim Kyle Electrical to fix an issue that was identified during our home inspection. The crew came out and did a thorough review in order to find the exact issue. It turns out, the previous owners had installed a ceiling fan and did something funky with the wiring. Once the issue was identified, the crew quickly fixed it. They were so pleasant and thorough and the job was more than reasonably priced. We will definitely use them again. Chad was awesome!"

"Broyles HVAC has installed practically everything in my house: - New AC - New outdoor compressor, including wiring everything - New thermostat Broyles is everything you want in a HVAC company: - Honest. Won’t sell you something you don’t want or need. Will make sure you understand what is the best solution for your problem both now and into the future. - Fair Value. Not the cheapest but certainly one of the most fair priced company I’ve dealt with especially considering the Master HVAC certification Broyles has. They’re certified to do any kind of HVAC work which all companies cannot claim. - Professionalism. Broyles is available within 24 hrs almost anytime I’ve needed them. They will show up as scheduled, on time, ready to work with the necessary tools. Can’t stress how nice it is to have someone who does this. I’ve recommended him for friends and have had nothing but good experiences. Anything you need HVAC, Broyles can handle it for you."

"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."

"I usually have my landscaper, brother or some other random person power wash my deck, rails and pavers. I decided to step it up a notch by hiring a professional. Mel was AWESOME. Contact was swift, bid was fair, scheduling was easy. Most importantly, I cannot believe how much better he did than an “average” person with a power washer. Everything looks brand new. Honestly, I’m shocked. I own several homes and I’m very picky about my contractors. I recommend MEL whole-heartedly. Plus, I love hiring an independent contractor. Good for him for making a business successful. Don’t look any further; Mel is your guy."

"The audit went well.  The follow-on work (water heater replacement, heat pump replacement, and caulking).
They did a pretty good job.  They did sub out the water heater and heat pump parts.  The new water heater had a heat pump unit on it too.  The water heater had an alarm that went out and was eventually replaced.
The subs did test my patience when they started late and ended even later than they said they would.  I eventually told them they had to get out at a certain time.
I took a year to write this because I wanted to back it up with cost savings info.  Unfortunately, the jury is still out on whether or not the system is paying for itself.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Finksburg, MD

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.
