"Jim with North Alabama Technical Services removed some items from my computer so that I could send emails and attend to items I needed to address that day. As planned, the next day he thoroughly cleaned my computer, he also made helpful suggestions while working on my computer. I would call him again if needed and I thought the fee was reasonable."

"Last year, in the heat of the summer, our a/c unit started blowing warm. I had refrigerant added, but it only lasted a few weeks before blowing warm again. So I got a couple of different quotes for repair. Most of the companies told me that I needed to replace my entire a/c unit, at a cost of about $5 - $6,000. Joey, with Red Stick Air, came in with a tool and located the leak. It was the coil in the attic, and I could see right away that it was rusted and in bad shape. Joey let us know that we could replace the coil only and stop the leak. He said that while the system is old (about 10 years), the coil is usually what leaks first due to the moisture in it's environment causing rust. With a new coil, we might get some more years out of the unit. We got a coil instead a new unit, saved thousands, and it's been working for about 10 months now. I really appreciate someone taking the time to explain what was happening, and let me make a decision about repairing the leak, versus being given a blanket quote by someone that just says "recommend replacement.""

"I've used this guy for A/C repairs and also when I finally replaced the really old unit with a new one. He was extremely knowledgeable and worked quickly during the repairs to the really old unit we had. He did not just throw parts at it and hope it would fix the issue. When I was finally able to replace the old unit, he helped provide us with reasonable prices and the right unit for our home. If you're looking for a honest small business owner, who will get the job done RIGHT, you're definitely looking for this guy."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Greenwell Springs, LA

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.
