"I was very happy with the installation and have no issues with the technician. Jake is competent, professional and provides great customer service. I have asked Coolray to keep him as my preferred technician whenever I need service on my furnace and/or a/c unit."

"Estes has been providing my service for approximately 10 years. Always prompt, courteous and very accommodating. They recently (June 2019) replaced my hot water heater and installed new HVAC system. An awesome crew performed the installation and was very thorough in explaining all of the new components to me. Also the gentleman who came to my home when the unit needed replacing was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and insured that all of my questions and concerns were addressed before he left."

"The salesman (John Melton) was very professional and recommended a whole unit replacement, due to the gas heat being over 20 years old, he assured me that the replacement unit would work well for me. The installers (Jon Meyer and Alfredo Calvillo) were great. They were on time, very courteous, and they cleaned up and removed everything. They also explained the new system and tested the functioning of the heat and air. I could not have been more pleased and would recommend Anytime Heating & Cooling, Inc highly."

"Kalahari Electrical Services are simply awesome.  From the first phone call to the final finished job, everything was done on time, on budget, professionally and to perfection!  I was given excellent advice by Jan and Joe, they provided the most up to the minute and technologically advanced fittings and installed everything I wanted on the same day.  None of this leaving at 4 pm to beat the traffic and then disappearing for days leaving my home in a mess!  I cannot speak highly enough of the Kalahari guys. Joe worked late, cleared up and left everything in pristine condition!  In fact my friends were so impressed  that one of them has had Joe do a job that someone else promised for weeks to do and never did it.  Joe did the job, fixed the problem and installed the fittings in a couple of hours!  As I said at the beginning they are awesome and I would highly recommend them if you want a truly professional honest job done.

"First of all, he is totally trustworthy.  My husband and I work full time so he did a lot of the work when we were not home. He does so much more than than a regular tile person does.  He made a suggestion to paint the vanity and put new knobs on instead of replacing it.  We painted it Smoky Brown to match the trim and it looks terrific.  Even the small suggestions that he made, such as putting in wood trim where the builder had put in cheap tile made a difference.   The small details took a very plain bathroom from blah to beautiful! You cannot go wrong with Fil.  He shows up when he says he will and he and his team work until the job is done! Next we are going to have him remodel our master bathroom.

"NATS responded the same day that I called them and picked the computer up at my home. Several days later, Mike called and stated the service to be performed, ensuring the size of the replacement hard disk drive, and provided the approximate cost. Within a week (Memorial Day weekend was during this period), Mike delivered the computer back to my house. I was pleased that Mike had not only reloaded Windows 7 (I had to input my own product code), but he had also spent the time to download and install upgrades to Windows 7."

"I called Mr Parham and he responded very promptly. When he arrived he was very professional. He gave me a very reasonable estimate on the cost to have the compressor replaced. The parts were ordered and installed as promised. I have also used him to have the thermostat replaced in my refrigerator. My washer was leaking water, he also fixed that also. All these were separate house calls, and each time Mr Parham was also professional, and on time and did the work as promised."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Gainesville, GA

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.
