"Bob visited our house, worked with us on selecting a unit, and provided an estimate for the work the same night. As for the installation, within two days everything was installed and one wouldn't have even known anyone was working on our house except for the new ceiling vents. He did a great job and we would hire his company again. Bob made the whole process very easy."

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

"The serviceman checked the furnace and the vents and air cleaner. He explained the situation to me. Said the current furnace did not need replacement at this time. When it does need aservice or replacement they are the first people I will contact."

"We are very please with the job done.
Horizon came to us on a recommendation from a friend in the Real Estate Business.
Even though we read a terrible F rated Angie's List review on Horizon we selected Horizon based on our friends advice because he had never led us astray before. We are glad we did.
Do you know how it is when you take your car to a mechanic to fix a certain and quot;thingand quot; that is happening and then can't recreate that and quot;thing.and quot; After the job was completed and Al, the electrician was taking us on an inspection tour, we turned on our second dehumidifyer on the other end of the basement only to have the circuit breaker pop---not the one just installed. After reset and turning off the dehumidifyer, the basement light brightned so we think we have finally hit and quot;paydirtand quot; in figuring out what is going on here. We were delighted that a certified electrician got to see this.
He explained that both of our dehumidifyers draw 7.5amps and the circuits are only 15amp so with a few light bulbs burning it can overload when the dehumidifyer kicks on. We will probably have him back to do another dedicated circuit, however, we will first check to see if we can purchase a dehumidifyer that does not pull so many amps. Maybe we are on to something here regarding lowering our electric bill and overfilling the landfill with old dehumidifyers (yes, I have a thing about that)

"There was additional cost because of the size of the house and disinfectant spray used in the vents. Overall it cost a few hundred dollars beyond the price of the Big Deal, which was a little surprising because the deal said it included unlimited vents."

"The company sent Joe Wambach out same day as I called for a/c service on a high demand day. Joe arrived on time and was one of the most pleasant HVAC people I've ever worked with, and we've worked with a few in recent years. He went right to work assessing the problems and doing the maintenance work on our equipment. He is a diligent worker, courteous, professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He's a great representative for their company and I would hope they appreciate the quality of employee they have in Joe. I did not get other quotes on the a/c unit so I can't comment on price of unit, but it seemed reasonable with everything else that was done. The quote for replacing the air handler coils in attic seemed excessive to me at $2500 but I had no comps; we opted to use original coils."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Grafton, WI

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.
