"Used AJ Perri in past satisfactorily but now... Furnace checkup rattling sound, tech said was due to inducer fan motor needs replacing (ball bearings). Signed agreement for $2,300, they were going to order a replacement, paid $1,175 deposit. Cancelled work before the tech left as we were going to have it done later - also looked up the cost of said motor on the manufacturer web site only $209! Billing department unavailable to have the "pending" charge removed from checking acct. Found cancellation form in paperwork, only includes mailing address with a 3 day only grace period (?). Unable to fax form as a fax # (on a different form only) just rings & rings. Had to scan and email form to general "info" address. Unable to get through to billing dept, never available. Given direct phone # for said dept which gives a recording "voice mailbox not set up" then disconnects. Homeowner fixed all rattling noises for $0 - was only loose screw inside fan motor mounting bracket. Not refunded yet."

"-Called for an estimate to upgrade furnace to a 2-stage system before winter. Knowing my old one was on the fritz. Quote $4,800 for GE -In Feb furnace needs a fix and instead of fix I ask if price was good for the GE 2-stage and if I can upgrade system. All good. Went with upgrade. -Sales Rep says (before install) that we have to switch to Carrier. I say no prob please make sure specs are the same and send me quote with model so I can check. Nothing gets sent. -Day later they show up for install with Carrier unit. I don’t have quote or model number. -After installation I get invoice to sign off on. -Look up model number on invoice and it’s a SINGLE stage. Not what we wanted and not comparable to the GE. Also usually cheaper. -I text my rep and say give me a credit or just swap it out. No biggie. I am told their mistake and they will be out next week. This is in Feb. -2 weeks go by and I ask when the swap will happen. Told another week. -2 more weeks go by and I ask when swap will happen. Told another week. -Stop by location on Mantoloking Rd to verbalize disappointment and was told to leave number for manager. STILL NO CALL. At this point my message is go pound sand. Damage is done. I’m p*****. Don’t come calling when you see bad reviews posted EVERYWHERE."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Freehold, NJ

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.
