"Four Seasons replaced a 27 year old heating and air conditioning system in a second floor closet in our home that appeared to have been installed before the closet was built around it. They were able to remove the old system, install a completely new system including humidifier that no one else said could be done. They were prompt in their arrival, professional in their approach, they were clean and respectful of our home. I could not be happier with the system they recommended, with the installers, or the completed installation."

"I had a great experience with TDH Mechanical. They did a full HVAC replacement of 2 systems in my single family home, including furnace and air conditioners. They were highly consultative and patient during the selling process, all work was completed on time with high quality, and the team was neat and courteous. When the units needed a bit of tuning post install (normal), they were back onsite in a matter of hours. Tim, the owner, is hands on and responsive and proactively checks back in on how things are doing. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family."

"Everything was great except they broke the exterior dryer vent cover. They said they would return and replace it. They never did. It never should have happened in the first place. A true professional would have removed the cover when cleaning to eliminate the possibility of damage."

"June of 2017, our 29 year old A/C unit quite working. It was known prior to contacting Tritan Services. A phone call was made to Tritan on a Monday morning at 6:30AM. Ted returned my call within 30 minutes and scheduled a visit to our home at 9:30AM that same day! Ted and Chad looked at the unit determined all refrigerant charge has been dissipated. It was a high humidity 90°F + day and this was the 1st truly hot week forecasted for the summer. Ted stated that the evaporator coil in our furnace required replacement as well as the condenser coil with a compressor. He quoted a very reasonable price and after installation, that is what is cost. Being an HVAC programmer in the industrial world, people like Ted and Chad unfortunately are a rare type. Knowing he gave a reasonable price and did not take advantage in any way shape or form, the job was purchased. Ted and Chad; removed the existing evaporator coil, condensing unit, picked up the new evaporator coil and condensing unit, installed it and were done by 2PM. There have been ZERO issues. After installation, the thermostat in the house had to be raised 2°F because the A/C worked better than ever and our electrical consumption dropped nearly 20%. Just fantastic service. The humidity in the house is finally being removed properly. This company is a model of stellar customer service, professional knowledge and technical expertise. It is a relief to have a company who can be trusted."

"They were on time. Price was originally quoted. When notified they missed the air intake in one of the rooms they came out immediately to correct the problem. Would not hesitate using them again or recommending them to others."

"Black Diamond recently came out to do a competitive bid on installing a cleanout line, then doing a hydro jet and descale of the main sewer line in question. On top of being a few hundred dollars cheaper than the original bidder, they found that the original bidder had broken the flange on the toilet when they put it back on and overtightened it. Throughout the process everyone I dealt with was professional, easy to work with, and answered all of my questions. All of that would have been enough for a 5 star review; however, when they got here on the day of the job and went to locate the exact dig space for the line, they found I ALREADY HAD A CLEANOUT LINE (previously most of the estimates had been in ranges based on the original bidder's insistence that this job had to be done, but as it turns out it didn't). That saved me $4,500 on the job, which is pretty awesome! I'm using them for all of our plumbing needs moving forward."

"I had worked with several HVAC contractors in the past few years, and finally I found Bernard that is both honest and very knowledgeable. Our furnace broke down during the weekend. We had a service call from company A in the morning. The recommendation was to replace induce motor (~700 usd), or the whole unit. I called Azrikam to get another quote for comparison. When Bernard came, he fixed the unit in 5 minutes. It turns out there is no need for replacing the induce motor, he can fix it with simple tools. What a difference! It not only saved me money, but also spared my family a few cold nights! I really appreciate Bernard's honesty and expertise!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Gilberts, IL

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.
