"Tony did a great job replacing my broken 50 gallon self venting hot water heater. It is in a difficult space to maneuver getting the old one out and the new one in. He did a great job updating what needed to be done (in my old 1910 home so there is always something!) and I feel very confident in their work. Limelight is my go to place and am so glad I found them!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Avoid this company at all costs if you?re getting a heat pump. They?ll tell you whatever you want to hear, hide the truth about rebates, and then ghost you when things go wrong. Mighty promised to ?handle all the paperwork? for our Xcel rebate ? turns out, they never even submitted it. When we called Xcel, they had zero record of anything. When we confronted Mighty, they swore they?d submit it that day. Weeks later? Still nothing. Just silence. If you do take the risk, get every single thing in writing. Every promise, every date, every detail. Because once they get paid, you?re on your own. "

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"This company sent out a tech to our home. He took a look at the water heater and saw the pilot light was out. He did not do any troubleshooting whatsoever, only proceeded to say we needed a new water heater. He gave us a quote which included many warranties we did not want so we declined the quote and only paid for the service call. I asked the tech if he could at least light the pilot for us he said he could not for safety reasons. We had another company install which did not do any troubleshooting either. Turns out the gas meter outside was clogged and that is why our old heater was not working. They should have did some troubleshooting but did not do so to make an obscene amount of money. We were screwed by both companies. Our utility company changed out the gas meter and started our new water heater. Companies need to do troubleshooting and actually care about people and not just about making a quick buck."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Fort Collins, CO

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.
