It's sad how many AC Contractors try so dang hard to sell you a new HVAC systems when your current equipment is perfectly fine. Even 15 to 20-year-old systems can have plenty of life left in them if you care for them properly. We'll replace your old HVAC system when we have to, but not before we have to. Shouldn't we at least try to fix the one you've got with a reasonably priced repair? Keep your hard-earned money in your pocket as long as you can, and hire someone who wants to fix your system right the first time.

We are experts at solving your comfort issues with equipment, expert technicians, duct design and alteration, installation, and maintenance. With hundreds of Google 5 star reviews, you can feel confident in our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. “Your Comfort Is Our Emergency!”

"We had Emergency Air out to provide a repair to our air conditioning and provide a quote on a new system as ours is 15+ years old. For reference, I have a 1300 sq ft, 20 year old home. Well, that was a mistaken. First off, Emergency Air runs the sleazy used car dealer playbook - presenting monthly payments vs. total price, claiming it will be impossible to get your problem resolved if you don't sign up right now, acting like they are your friend giving you the best deal and why would you shop around? They provided a quote of $23,000 for a single stage HVAC install (attached). Upon calling 3 other established, licensed, well reviewed contractors, I received quotes between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on equipment/brand/etc. None of the other 3 were pushy and insisted on needing to make a decision today. No slimeball used car dealer tactics. You can look up for yourself what new single stage HVAC is for a 1300 sq ft home. It's well under $23,000 and no brand or contractor can justify charging 2-3x market rate....unless that contractor is Emergency Air, apparently. When called out on the fact their pricing is insane, our sales rep started asking if the other quotes were "Builder Quality" which is made up. Go Google what "builder quality HVAC" is. It's a standard system. I have absolutely nothing nice to say about Emergency Air and recommend you avoid doing business with them."

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs

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.
