"We have been using Golden Aire for maintenance and repairs for the past 8 years. They are professional, knowledgeable and courteous, as well as fair in their pricing. Case in point, we had Daniel come out to do our summer A/C maintenance. Daniel discovered that coils were bad and leaking coolant. We received our quote for the parts and repair. The cost was estimated at $3k (ouch!) Parts were ordered and Daniel came out within a weeks' time. I can't state highly enough how impressed we were with Daniel's knowledge, professionalism and most importantly care. Daniel was able to save us $1,300 as he discovered that after fixing the Nitrogen leak and replacing the refrigerant there was no need to replace the coils. I know other less scrupulous companies would have milked us for a higher invoice price especially since the coils were ordered. Thank you, Daniel, and Golden Aire for your honesty and professionalism."

"The team of four was very professional and performed an excellent job in a record period of time. Just one day to take the old furnace away, replace all the old boots and duct work and install the new furnace. They paid a lot of attention not to damage or dirty the floor/carpet. I am very happy with their performance. They may not be the cheapest on the block but it was all worthed and you only have to do that once in your lifetime."

"When it became clear that my existing HVAC system needed to be replaced, I initallycontacted thecompany that was the original maintenance contractor.  They made a proposal for system replacement, but, would not give me a paper contract explaining the complete work to be provided.  Indeed, said contractor proceeded to try to sell me additional items I did not want or need.
I subsequently called Diamond for an estimate.  Bob came to the house and thoroughly explained various options and provided
written contracts for the alternate proposals.  The straight talk approach was really appreciated (especially after the snake oil salesman from the prior vendor).  After a day's review, I authorized Diamond to proceed with the installation.
The Diamond staff showed up on time and finished the installation by the end of the second day.  They were extremely professional and patiently explained what was happening at each stage of the project.  Behing the professional staff, Bob an Elaine Weatherford remained in contact to make sure that I was happy with the work.
My only concern after the project was completed was the interaction between the new system and the smart vent system.  Bob and his staff made sure the my concerns were resolved.
I unconditionally recommend Diamond HVAC sysems to anyone who wants to depend on dealing with honest, no nonsense, business professionals.

"I have an old pressure relief valve replaced today. the service person was great, and the installation went really well. My main complain was the price after I did an online comparison. usually, the PRV installation will cost around $500 on the high end, but Bell Brother charged me $1600 since the new valve does not fit the old pipe, and they needed to redo the pipe. My family has been using bell brother for many years, we trusted their workmanship, but the markup is just too steep to justify. I definitely learned my lesson, for small jobs, will use home-advisor instead."

"Awesome experience from one week prior to installation when Tech Sonny Osorio made a service call to my home! I made the decision to replace my very old system! He arranged for Estimator Paul McHugh to come to my house! New system was selected, installation date arraigned for 3/13/18. Rick Tudor and his crew did the installation! From start to finish Ray O. cook is the very best! Absolutely no high pressure and everyone was timely, efficient, polite, knowledgeable and extremely helpful! Answered all my questions, and the pricing was great! Highly recommend!"

"Contacted them. They sent us links to the gas inserts. We picked the one we liked. A few days later they sent someone over to install it. He did a good job. Cleanup everything. Used it the whole winter. No issues. Love it.

"Glen and his team were amazing. They worked fast, clean, and were super thoughtful of us and our space. They know we have kids and made sure that we weren't left with out a washer/dryer for more than a day while they painted and tiled, they helped keep my kitchen as usable as possible during demo and throughout the process, etc. Their care and consideration, plus their attention to detail andquality of work, makes them a company I would recommend to my friends and family and a company we will work with again in the future!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Hood, CA

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.
