"Very happy with the service. Extremely knowledgeable crew, explained what they were doing in detail. It's been a few months and couldn't be happier. They removed our tank water heater and replaced it with a tankless outside. No other vendor told me they could put the water heater outside. A HUGE space saver."

"They were prompt and professional, and the new blower motor is working well. When we noticed that the blower motor wouldn't turn off, they examined the unit and recommended a replacing the motor. Communication was excellent - I received a text message and phone call a half hour before the service technician arrived, which gave me time to prepare. The service technician also gave me maintenance tips for keeping the A/C unit in good working order."

"The work went great. Aside from arriving a little after we were told the work went smoothly. Darnell was very informative in everything that was needed. They even went as far as adding refrigerant at no extra cost. I have a hard time communicating sometimes and the communication breakdown caused me some issue in properly communicating some of the items that needed clarification. This was my fault. In any case I would hire them again. They did a great job."

"I signed up through Angies List for a cleaning of up to A/C seven ducts for $175.  On arrival, the provider counted 15 ducts and charged me an additional $30 of each of the eight additional ducts (which works out to another $240 for eight, or $210 for seven of the eight) and another $100 because I have two A/C air handlers instead of just one.  
If I had bought two of the $175 Angies List offers (which would have covered 14 ducts and two A/C units), there would have been no charge for seven of the eight "extra" ducts and no charge for the extra A/C unit.   So, I would have paid $380 ($175 X 2 + $30) instead of the $515 this service ended up costing.  I did not appreciate the upcharging.
Also, the provider dropped one of my duct covers on a wooden sideboard, denting it (I let that go, but now will have to live with a new gouge).
The moral of this story is to count your ducts before you use this provider -- or prepared to be hit with extra charges at a higher rate than the one used in the offers if you have more than seven ducts.

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Homestead, FL

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.
