"The technician was extremely nice, prompt and professional during his visit. It was shocking to hear how much he said it would cost to remedy my boiler problems. We will absolutely get a second opinion before hiring for this job"

"Nick our installer arrived on time and was very friendly and courteous. He worked fast and carted off the dead water heater and installed the new one. He showed us how to start the pilot light in case we needed to do it in the future. He made sure to take all the trash with him. I had called the day before to get an estimate and they were able to schedule us in right away. This company had the better price and warranty from the others I asked for prices. Abbey from the office was also very friendly and quick to send me a written estimate. There were no hidden fees and I paid exactly what they said it would be. Nick's friendliness and professionalism was icing on the cake."

"We received 5 quotes because an furnace and AC were really big ticket items for us, but the owner of this company took the time to explain every step and all the details of the work. Other contractors did not take the time to have a detailed discussion and even implied that we were not expert enough to understand the details. They were very quick to tell us what they thought we needed. There were 3 bids that were substantially lower so we were very nervous and second guessed our decision. They restored our faith in contractors as they went the extra mile to make sure that everything was the best quality and really thought about what they were doing and what the best solution(s) might be. They took our lifestyle into consideration and did not treat us as if we would not understand the process or care about the details. On this rare occasion we felt that we got the best for us and every penny was worth. We look forward to have this company service the HVAC that they installed for us. In additoin they took care of a few odd repairs that were needed at a very reasonable rate. We only wish we could find other trades for landscaping, remodeling, etc. like Vertical was for HVAC."

"Had them install a whole-home humidifier and they were great. The original install went without issue. After the install, there was a bit of a thunking noise that was occurring. Called them up and they sent someone out the next day. They added a hammer arrester and it fixed the problem. I also had a dripping noise and they had two people help troubleshoot that even though it turned out not to be related to their work at all. I will definitely call them next time I need any work done!"

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

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.
