"I was very happy with my experience using this company. In the middle of a heat wave, right before the July 4th holiday, my AC stopped working. The man who installed it and had been servicing it was too busy to come for a week. I called MSD and was given an appointment for 8 AM the next morning. They were prompt and courteous, fixed my problem, and were reasonably priced. I will be calling them in the future."

"Kevin was great! The rest of the company not so much. Kevin diagnosed the problem immediately as the thermostat, had a replacement in the truck, and completed the installation of the new unit quickly. He showed me how to program the updated version, and everything seemed to be fine - until the next morning. Turned out the replacement was defective. When I called, I was told that they might not be able to get back to me that day, but Kevin interrupted his schedule to come back and put in a new (and working) unit at no charge."

"Anthony and his crew did a great job in providing and installing the exact system that I had requested.  
They were thorough, professional and very neat and very easy to work with.  The installation was completed in one day.
The pricing was more than fair.  I couldn't be happier with the new A/C system.  I highly recommend APV to anyone in need of a new central A/C system.

"The process of meeting for an estimate through installation was seemless! The 2 men did an excellent job installing my mini split and cleaned up before leaving. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again in the future!"

"Heater was making a knocking sound and of course it was the holiday season. Braido came out right away and found a fan part needed replacement. The parts vendor was closed but they came out the next available day and had everything running smooth."

"When the unit was returned and the timer no longer worked, Mike's A/C replaced the part with a fully functioning used one
and did not charge for it. I could not have asked for a better response or better service.

"Joe was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, punctual, answered all of my questions, cleaned up after himself and did a wonderful job, with a very quick turn around time. Joe actually ended up saving me money because he was honest and told me I only needed to replace the compressor, not the air handler, as other companies I had called for estimates had told me I needed to replace. I would absolutely recommend him and his company as I am already hiring him to replace my hot water heater."

"This was excellent service. My refrigerator was no longer cooling and items in the freezer were slowly melting. I contacted Junior at 9AM and set an appt for 1:30PM and he was on time! By 3:30PM he had replaced the compressor and everything was perfect with 6mths warranty. He is very communicative and professional and repairs many other types of major appliances (stoves, washer/drier, A/C etc). Highly recommended."

"The gentlemen from Green Ductors were incredibly professional and clearly explained the problem to us. They explained different options that we had and gave us an estimate for each. We decided to have them install a new dryer vent, and our dryer has been working wonderfully ever since! They even sent us a document with before and after pictures. We would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Islip, NY

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.
