"Outstanding service. I called because my boiler was leaking and the after hours technician responded within 30 minutes of our call. Our coil plate and gasket were rotted and bolts had snapped and we decided that we would replace the boiler because ours was 16 years old. We spoke with the owner and sales manager the following morning and were told that they would be happy to replace the boiler if that is what we wanted to do but they felt our boiler could be repaired at a fraction of the cost and no where near the end of it's usable life. So we decided to go for the repair and they were right, it worked like a charm! So instead of a $9,000 boiler and indirect replacement, we spent $472 and my boiler was up and running the next day. We have used Advanced Mechanical Services for our conversion from oil to natural gas and for our air conditioning installation. They have always been very professional, courteous, prompt and their pricing has always been competitive. I would highly recommend them."

He explained everything clearly, worked neatly, and made sure everything was running perfectly before leaving. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Asante to anyone looking for quality service and a smooth, stress-free installation. Great experience overall!"

"I rated them B for responsiveness because the first time I called I was told they would call back and they did not. As you would expect the price was too high. They ended up tightening a union of pipes and testing to see if it leaked. The first time it was tightened, it did leak and they went to replace the part. A second tech tightened it further, retested and it did not leak.Not sure why the first person didn't tighten further. So the question remains; is the problem solved. We will see when the heating season begins. The techs were young, personable and seemed knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions. They spent over two hours here, some of it waiting to get the heating up for testing. Had a $50.00 coupon or the cost would have been over $400."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"After my initial call, representative Pat came to see exactly what we wanted done.  Since we did not know all their options he suggested that the owner Mike come to discuss all the Heating and Air conditioning options for us and the prices.  Mike came and we decided on the mini splits because they were easy to install with only 3 days of disruption to our normal living schedule and they were far less expensive to either hot water heat, which require installing copper pipes in every room and a plumber to do the work and a duct system of delivering forced hot air  to all the rooms with an oil furnace.
We asked that the work start on the 15th of July and it did.  Mike thought it could take three days since the daily temperature was in the 90's but they completed it in two days and left everything clean and orderly.  They did have to cut down some of our foundation plants to make room for the condensers which sit on the ground.
The tubes from the mini splits are run through the walls to the condensers outside and covered with a tube that looks like a gutter drain.  These are on two sides of the house and do look a bit unorthodox on my rough sawn cedar home but I will get use to them or paint them to match the grey stain on the house.  This is why I rated Quality  only good for I have no idea how all these materials rate to other systems and how they will hold up.  Time will tell.
We were able to use them immediately when the installation was completed on the 16th for air conditioning.  Since they work on the same system for heat we only have to change the mode on the remote to Heat and it starts heating the house instead of cooling it.
I had no idea  what a heating and AC installation would cost so I think it is a bit expensive  but I have learned it is far cheaper than other systems especially since my house was built in 1976 with electric baseboard heating which cost a fortune to run in the winter since two upstairs rooms have 18 foot high ceilings.  I have been told this new system will save at least 40 to 50% on electric costs.  I will be keeping track immediately to see if this is true now with the AC system.  If it does I will change my price rating to excellent.

"It worked out okay, except that I would have anticipated, the cost just gets more. They always find those things, so it starts at $99 and end up spending $300 or $400. People tell me they always find mold inside your air duct, so they have to put a chemical. They call it a total cleaning as opposed to the regular cleaning which I paid for. What they did seemed to have worked. I have suspicions about when they find other things. "

"We moved into our new home three weeks ago and a home energy audit was on top of my agenda.   We had done one at our previous home and quickly saw improvements in our utility bills.
I suspect that we will see the same given the thoroughness the three member team showed.  They spent close to 3 hours plugging holes, replacing light fixtures and developing suggestions where we could see further savings.  In addition, they provided a number of rebates for added insulation, appliance replacement etc.  I would recommend to anyone.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Harwinton, CT

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.
