"Had a great experience working with the guys from Shavitz. When my roof top unit broke and was without any heat, they came out immediately. Ryan was honest with his assessment of whether or not to replace the unit or repair it, and very helpful throughout my decision process. The quote that he provided was very reasonable, and I found to be the best option versus the other major names that I had received quotes from. When it came time to install, Cosmin and Linas did an excellent job, were both very friendly, and walked me through everything they were doing throughout the process. Overall, I am happy with the experience of working with Shavitz. And at the end of the job, Ryan came back again to make sure that everything was up to par. All in all, very happy with the service, but most of all the positive experience of the entire staff that I dealt with."

"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."

"The technician Jose, was easy to work with and thoroughly checked and cleaned our systems. He suggested some preventative maintenance actions to make sure our 9 year old furnace and 7 year old AC would last another few seasons. Jose replaced a capacitor and contactor in the nick of time - we sailed through a recent heatwave with our AC running like new! Highly recommend Aire Serv."

"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."

"Keith from Freedom came for scheduled checkup and suggested replacing the furnace. The overall process went smoothly with good communication on the progress. Josh was very professional throughout the installation process and ensured my tenant on-site understood the basics. In addition, Josh sent Miguel the same day to ensure the humidifier was working properly."

"Igor and his crew did an excellent job installing the furnace and AC! Work was done neatly and on time. He followed up 1 week and 1 month after installation to confirm everything was working well. When our tenants raised some cooling concerns (tenant user error) after about 6 months, he completed the inspection within 24 hours and at no charge. Great experience overall."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Glencoe, 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.
