"Jeff arrived to our home and provided an estimate for a new furnace and A/C system. Very professional and courteous. Seemed very knowledgeable and answered my questions easily. Spent time measuring windows and even called the city to get an accurate sq footage of the home to design the right system. Although we ended up going with a different HVAC system, I would have no hesitation recommending this company and will likely use them for any service we may need in the future. Excellent."

"This company and the people who work there are totally awesome!!! If I had any questions, they were always right there. On the day/night my Furance went out , they came right out. My furnace was 23 years old. So I knew it had to be replaced soon. Since it was late they loaned use 3 space heaters. I can’t tell you how thankful I was. Now I have a new energy efficient heater and A/C. And I’m very very happy."

"Schultz Heating & Cooling took care of our A/C which was not blowing cold air, on very short notice and was able to resolve the issue on the same trip within an hour. Highly recommend! Company is very responsive and communicates well: I had originally inquired via Angie's List email/messenger after hours and got a reply the same evening saying they could send a technician the next day. The next morning I received a call and was able to schedule the appointment. Tony (technician/owner) was able to give me a 1 hour window (unlike most companies that let you sit around all day) and he arrived during the time frame he gave me. He also kept me informed when he was on his way - this was really helpful so I could plan my day. A/C issue was quickly diagnosed (burnt out capacitor, low on freon) and he had the parts on the truck - repair was completed within an hour and system was blowing cold air again. During the visit Tony was highly professional, friendly, and accommodating. Our system is over 18 years old and he suggested we consider looking at a replacement (we already know that it is coming to the end of it's lifespan, so this was not a surprise) but there was no "hard sell". He was telling me what I already knew, and gave a few suggestions for ongoing maintenance in the meantime. Tony also acknowledged that we had contacted him via Angie's List and gave us a preferred AL price. I appreciate the fact he knew we are AL members and I didn't have to remind/persuade him to give us the AL price (as i have had to do with other companies contacted via AL). Would highly recommend and would use them again!"

"There were several problems with the space pack AC unit AC Engineers installed in 2016. AC engineers really stands behind their work. Their technicians are excellent. It took several visits to restore my system but AC Engineers did the job right. I live in a 100 year old house and repairs to my boiler and AC and other systems are a fact of life. AC engineers is a pleasure to work with and I have no reservations to recommend them to a friend."

"The restoration took a little longer than we expected (as did the remediation), but was done properly (and looks great). I would absolutely recommend his company (CSR) (to anybody looking to have a mold remediation or restoration), as a fantastic company to hire (Ron is very personable and talked us through the entire process)."

"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."

"Extremely well! We now have an efficiently working A/C system instead of the old one that, evidently, was only pumping the slightly cooler air from the basement up into the rest of the house. All is working very well after a week or more of use. I can't say enough in praise of Travis, who proved, again, to be a knowledgeable, conscientious, friendly, clever, and efficient worker.I am able to use all of the above adjectives confidently because, as an interested 80+ year-old retiree i had the time to enjoy watching and conversing with Travis throughout almost the entire installation process! Additional information: NH&C also does business under the names South Lyon and McGraw Mechanical Heating & Cooling."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Highland, MI

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.
