"Couldn’t have been better! Our air conditioner stopped working on Saturday, and with temperatures looming in the high 90’s this week, we needed help fast. Aire Serv called in the morning, and came right out. Aaron was our wonderful technician. This young man was so nice and explained everything so that I could understand. He paid attention to detail. This company showed that they cared, and didn’t want us to suffer in the extreme heat. I highly recommend Aire Serv and will definitely use their services when needed in the future. Susan, Louisville"

"The vendor was very nice. Prepared. We investigated the issue together and identified next steps. No issue was found and he let me know ahead of time that if he cut the drywall, he would not be replacing it. But, he did clean up after himself, which I appreciate."

"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."

"Two servicemen arrived. They checked the faucet out and determined we needed a new one. They proceeded to explain why we did need a new one. We had replaced faucet parts several times over fourteen yours and we were not going to do that again. We bought a new faucet, and it was installed. It is working great. The repairmen were efficient and explained how the new faucet worked as it was very different from our old one."

"This was without doubt the best moving experience I've had. They called to inform us they were en route. Very friendly, efficient and helpful. Prior to leaving they offered to help in rearranging the furniture as well! Privately owned thus offering a more personal encounter than other national or regionally movers. I cannot praise them enough. I would strongly and without any hesitation or reserve recommend them."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Frankfort, KY

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.
