"This is the first time I have gone to a mechanic outside of the dealership or Uzi's Autohaus and it was such a great experience. 
Tony made me aware of the work that did or did not have to be done.   Such Peace of Mind.
When i asked to have a stainless steel tip installed on the car's tailpipe, they went above and beyond in making a picasso out of steel - so beautiful.  
And Justin drove me to the park and ride - excellent driver - conversationlist - so great.  
 Honestly, if I was blessed with more than the (3) brothers I have I would wish for them.  
I would highly Colony One (and a stainless steel tailpipe tip if your car is not equipped with one already).  Their business is a credit to the Stafford/Sugar Land vicinity.

"I highly recommend Matthew and his crew, if you are looking for HVAC work to be done. My wife and I just purchased this house built in 1989. The HVAC configuration in the attic was either original equipment, poorly patched work, or equipment that was not compatible with the new air conditioner. I had gotten in-person estimates from 3 other companies and here's what made me go with South Belt: Matthew understood that my wife and I had a tight budget, so he clearly provided us with what COULD be replaced and what NEEDED to be replaced. Matthew's crew worked fast and were very courteous. Our system now works far better than I expected it would."

"It was a three day job. 

They had to come back because the evaporator coil in the attic was defective from the factory. They didn't catch and I didn't neither when they first installed but it showed after a month. They came back out took out the old one and put in a new one and its worked ever since.

If you have to have heating and air work I certainly look at them. We've used them for inspections for quite a number of years but this was a major replacement and they did that well."

"On the day of the work (4) workers came on time and proceeded with the work. They were very professional and covered the floor and the stairs leading to the attic.  They too answered all my questions about  what they did. They showed  me the old evaporators coils and the leaks in them, and the new were still in the original box. They replaced on of my thermostats and  fixed a noise coming from my outside unit .  Although,  I had a second estimate on this work that would have been less, I went with Cucco,s because I trust their work and their professionalism. Honestly, it is so hard to fine honest people these days working with them is a pleasure.

"DAVID HAD TO RAISE AND RE-HANG THE HVAC UNIT FROM THE RAFTERS OF THE HOME AS IT WAS INITIALLY INSTALLED IMPROPERLY.  THE UNIT NOW DRAINS PROPERLY INTO THE PLUMBING SYSTEM.  HE ALSO DISCOVERED A FAULTY HEAT LIMITING SWITCH ON THE FURNACE - NOT A MINOR ISSUE - AND REPLACED IT AND TESTED THE SYSTEM.  FINAL COST WAS MUCH LESS THAN HIS INITIAL ESTIMATE.   DAVID IS ALWAYS ON TIME, VERY POLITE, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFESSIONAL ABOUT HVAC SYSTEMS, AND VERY REASONABLE IN HIS PRICING.  I SIMPLY WON'T USE ANYONE ELSE FOR MY HVAC NEEDS AS THIS COMPANY IS SIMPLY THE BEST.

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Friendswood, TX

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.
