Customers say: Super punctual

"Mike installed both of our geothermal furnaces in 2004 when we bought our home and discovered that neither were working properly- problems missed on inspection. He gave us the best pricing on the installation of the 3 companies that bid and has been fair on pricing since that time.  He has helped with whatever minor issues have occurred. He sometimes takes a day or 2 to get back to you, but always arrives on time and is very thorough and detailed. Definitely recommend him"

"Originally I called for a diagnostic of my AC unit, which was doing a terrible job cooling my house. Nikita did the diagnostic-turns out the coolant was leaking, a coil needed to be replaced, and not to mention the thing was from the 1990's. We decided to replace and upgrade it, as well as our furnace, since we froze last winter (turns out it was badly rusted on the inside and emitting CO into the house, which NO ONE found last winter (had it looked at by 4 different people and everyone said there was nothing wrong except that the BTU's were too small for the size of the house). Roy was so awesome, because even though they couldn't schedule us for the next 3 weeks, he made sure we stayed cool-he filled up the coolant and came over to the house a couple times when the AC stopped working. I will be keeping him as our heating and cooling guy!"

"Contacted Dan Dugan for an estimate on a new installation. Old unit had been running with bandaids for a couple years and was beyond its life expectancy.
While I was sticker shocked at the price, I found out these heat pump systems are much more complex than a standard gas furnace. I also price compared and found this price to be within the customary range with installation.
 Dugan (Bryant) offers a hard to beat 60 mo. Zero % interest financing through wells fargo Bank. Why use my own money?
Installation went down without a hitch. While this was my sons home, I sort of managed the project as he works a lot of hours. He basically let the installers in and do their thing while he went to work, so no inconvenience on either of our parts.
Installers were in and out same day, left no mess and everything runs great!
Definitely recommend Dugan Air!

"From Tammy in the office to system designer Jake Snyder to head technician Tim the folks from Irish Air were GREAT when I needed a second opinion on possibly needing a new heat pump. They saved me thousands of dollars. I can’t recommend them highly enough for sales or service. They are my new HVAC company!"

"Steve was easy to contact to make the appointment. He called to tell me he was on his way and showed up when he said he would. He did a thorough check of our air conditioning system and changed filters. We switched to Air Care last year after technicians from other companies who were not well-trained missed problems or caused other problems. We couldn't be happier that we switched. Steve's responsiveness, skill and professionalism is top drawer.

Everything went great.  He showed up on time and was very professional.  We provided the hardware and he did the rest.  He removed and disposed off the old sink and faucet, installed a drop in sink, replaced the hardware and even put in new flexible tubing.

We couldn't be happier with the work they provided.

"Scott and Jeremy came to install a new toilet and inspect/correct bathroom faucets. On my first visit to inspect my faucets, Scott asked if I needed any other plumbing inspected. I mentioned that I had a friend install a new toilet wax ring but my friend did not have the ability to trim the flange. Scott checked out the toilet, and noticed it was quite wobbly, and told me that this may further damage the flange or influence the slab integrity. We discussed options/costs of possible repairs or just installing a new toilet. I requested a new toilet. We scheduled a date to complete both jobs. Scott and Jeremy arrived promptly, worked professionally and were great to work with. I will "definitely" use this company, and these two plumbers in future! Thank you for a job well done!!!"

"During the recent hot weather streak, I turned on my AC for the first time this year only to find it blowing warm air.  I prepared myself for the worst, knowing that the system was 14 years old. 
The technician, Sean, arrived later that day and quickly found the problem.  It was just a stuck fan on the AC unit.  He quickly unjammed it and checked all the other functions of the system while on site.  I then asked him if it was time to consider system replacement, and he told me this particular system would probably have about six more years of life.  I was charged a very reasonable fee and he was on his way.  The technician was clean, well-mannered, and respectful of my home.

I have used this company for about five years now.  NEVER have I felt pressured into a sale or for a repair that was not needed.  If they would have told me the system needed replaced, I would have gone with their recommendation.

Having worked in the plumbing division of corporate owned HVAC companies for the past 8 years, I had become accustomed to high pressure sales tactics from the technicians and that system replacement was the only option.  I would caution other homeowners who read this to be leery of many of these HVAC companies out there, but not Smith and Son. Please stay privately owned and keep up the good work!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
