"We selected Blair Heating and Cooling to install a Trane Mini-split ductless AC system in our historic 100 year old house. The system has two compressors and a total of 6 indoor units. From the start, Greg Blair and his team went out of their way in suggesting ways to accomplish exactly what we wanted. His team sought our feedback on every decision made right down to the routes the outside lines took to make sure they were as integrated as possible. Even though the job was difficult as our house is a three-story brick house with terra cotta blocks in the walls and metal where you would think metal shouldn't be, all of them remained positive, helpful and really excellent. I can’t recommend Blair any higher. This is the second job they have done for us and they are definitely our only choice!!"

"The Pros: While Extreme did call me shortly after I asked for a quote, I missed their call and didn’t call them back until late that afternoon. They still managed to get a technician out to my house to quote me that same evening. The technician who provided the quotes didn’t try to sell me on anything. He just gave my HVAC unit a quick once over and after a brief discussion provided me with a quote. The price I was billed matched the price I was quoted and the pricing was competitive compared to other quotes I received. This isn’t always the case with contractors, so always – get more than one quote! I was level set that the install could be either the following Monday or Tuesday and they were able to begin the installation on Monday. The installation team arrived as promised. They were friendly, worked quietly, and took care to respect my home while they were working. My old HVAC system needed disposed of and they had to fabricate parts to fit my utility space and both were handled well. The work space was cleaned up, the installation team closed our back yard gate when they left which is of importance to me because I have pets, and they took time to explain everything they did. In addition, they gave me advice on how best to maintain my unit and what I could expect with the service plan I’d chosen for the product I purchased. Weeks after my HVAC installation was complete, I had an issue with the A/C unit (see below). Extreme was quick to get a technician on site to address the problem. They were on site within a few hours of my phone call which in the contracting world is pretty fast. In addition, there was no charge for the visit. Room For Improvement: The installation team didn’t call when they were on their way. They were within the promised window, but it would have been good to know when they were en route from their previous job. The installation took most of the work day which I chalk up to my installation team had journeymen who were still learning the ropes. It’s not a ‘con’ rather it’s just something their newer techs need to be mindful of. About 2 ½ weeks after my A/C unit was installed it stopped working. It required service due to firmware needing an update and low refrigerant due to a leak in the A/C line. Both issues should probably have been addressed by the installation team. I’m not listing this as a “Con” because I was level set that they were journeymen and I didn’t object. Working out kinks in the system comes with the territory with any piece of engineering – but they should be mindful going forward to check for firmware updates and test for leaks in the coolant line after install. The Cons: Two words – customer service. A call taker should NEVER say the words, “If you’d have let me finish…” nor should they ever talk to you as if you were a child. This shouldn’t dissuade you from using Extreme because I’ve found that soft skills are lacking just about everywhere I go and in every industry I come in contact with. Overall Impression: I highly recommend Extreme One Hour. They act with integrity; they appear to be tirelessly working to gain customer trust through professionalism, communication, hard work, and (mostly) friendly interaction; and when there was an issue, they were quick to identify the issue and resolve it. These are all key benchmarks of a solid organization and I’m confident that all my HVAC needs will be met for the foreseeable future. Date of Original Install: 6/24/2019 Date of Repair: 7/12/2019"

"It turns out a humidifier needed to be replaced.  They came back a few days later to install the humidifier and hook up a humidistat.  Airtron (who originally installed the system) did it completely wrong in the first place.  Nonetheless, Wells fixed it all and when it took longer than expected and they had to make a return visit they didn't charge me a dime more.
Great service and HVAC techs.

"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."

They completed the job in less than one day and even hauled the old unit away. When the initial inspection of the unit was completed, the technician discussed all of the possibilities with the repair. He was honest with me and suggested replacing the unit and the furnace as well while he was there. I like that when he gave me the estimate, both the technician and I signed it. This was all at his suggestion, which I appreciated. Overall, it turned out very well.

"A.D., the Technician did two jobs at my home. On both occasions, A. D. arrived on time and worked in a very efficient and effective manner. He even provided me with a military discount for the fan work."

"Kirk arrived and listened carefully to our problem and what had been done to date.  He diagnosed the possible problems, and thought that he could fix the unit rather than replacing it.  We had proposals to fully change out our system:  not one heating and cooling company was interested in working on the unit to repair it.  Kirk analyzed the potential problems and systematically tested the outside unit thoroughly.  We repaired the unit, vs. replacing it, and saved us thousands of dollars.  He is a pleasure to work with, and I will recommend his company to everyone I meet.  Honorable, hard working and trustworthy.  Most highly recommended!!

"I took advantage of the Angie's List promotional coupon for an a/c tune-up. Jake was quick to respond to my request through Angie's List and scheduled me quickly and at a convenient time. Once here, he was thorough in cleaning inside and around my A/C unit. He did the proper diagnostics and discovered that my capacitor was leaking. He offered me an excellent deal to replace it and was able to come back in two day to do so once the part came in."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Huber Heights, OH

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.
