"Excellent!! Brandon was very patient and kind explaining new units and helping us make a decision. He said we could call him anytime, which we have done. He always answers promptly and politely. He even made an extra trip to provide temporary fans and another trip to help us with the thermostat. The installers were timely and swept after they completed the job. We have no complaints. Highly recommend!!"

"Owner Matt visited last spring to do a routine service check. He was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient, and great at communicating what he was doing and why. I signed a service contract, fairly priced for market. This week, my A/C stopped working during a FL heat wave. He responded within minutes to my text, and gave me helpful tips on things to check. The next morning, he scheduled his employee Bob to arrive within a 45-minute window. He was punctual and efficient: Within 5 minutes of arrival he diagnosed the issue (bad capacitor on condenser). Within another 10 minutes, he had a replacement in hand, checked to make sure it was covered by warranty, and installed it, then checked to make sure the house was cooling (it was) A paid invoice was in my mail inbox immediately. These two were timely, knowledgable, professional--and frankly, the most efficient workers I've ever had at my home of 20 years."

"Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Paul did a redesign of our system to increase efficiency and then installed an all new system, including new ductwork, added returns, and thermostat. Our house is cooler than ever, and our electricity bill went down significantly! I’ve recommended these guys to several other friends now, and all have had fantastic work. Highly recommended!"

"If anyone is considering using another company. DON'T. I called Conditioned Air, the following day the guy tells me all my duct work I'd bad and needed to be changed, he also told me my existing a/c was oversized and his quoted price was for a smaller unit. 3 days to do the job price $13000. My next call was to Comfort Air. The following day the guy tells me that the mixing boxes are to small and need to be replaced, he never mentioned going to a smaller unit but tells me the fan on my air handler is cavitating. Are we talking about a boat? 2 days to do the job. Price $ 10500. Called American mechanical I spoke to Kenny he had the warehouse manager Marshall arrange for Jerry the appraiser to be at my house same day, 2 hours later Jerry arrived looked at what had to be done. He said ductwork was fine, mixing boxes were fine and let's just say we had a good laugh about the fan cavitating. Price thousands less than both of the other idiots. Doug and Mike the installers were great, explained everything they were doing, answered all my questions, left my garage cleaner that it was. They installed my A/C as if they were working on their own house. They had to trim bushes to install my condenser they trimmed and cleaned up better than my landscapers . From start to finish the job was done first class. I don't usually write reviews but American mechanical deserves 10 stars. Being disabled I appreciate knowing that the job was done by honest people who were not looking to take advantage of me. Thank you all!!!"

"Ruiz & Son Electrical Corp did an outstanding job. Angel and his crew were here on time and ready to work. They worked hard all day, rewiring our electrical panel and replacing our water heater with a tankless system. Their workers were professional and knowledgeable. They ensured we understood everything about our installation from start to finish. I would hire Angel and his crew again for any electrical need I have in the house. Truly an outstanding job."

"I’ve been using Independent Air Conditioning since 2012 and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Bernie is friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, committed to customer service and, above all, a truly honest businessman. Bernie will let you know when you’re A/C needs service but, more importantly, he’ll also tell you when just an adjustment or minor repair will suffice. As a Realtor for almost 30 years I’ve seen more than my fair share of A/C companies and Independent A/C is the only one that I recommend to clients, friends and family without hesitation."

"He was very professional and explained what he was going to do as well as provided a written quote when he came out, before he did the job. None of the other professionals I called or were recommended by Service Magic would come out, they would only provide a generic quote over the telephone, even after I told them I had unusual issues to deal with at the house."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Fort Myers, 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.
