"Our hot water heater began leaking from inside of the unit.  The existing unit was very old and needed to be replaced.  After researching Angie's List, I made a purchase for a replacement hot water heater with Henson Mechanical HVAC and Plumbing.  Henson Mechanical reached out to me later that day to schedule my replacement, and to verify information about my existing setup.  They were able to send an installer out the very next day.
Prior to his visit, Kurt Schmeisser called to inform me that he would be the person to install the new water heater.  Kurt was prompt, and extremely professional.  During the removal of the old unit, and the installation of the new unit, Kurt made sure not to damage anything in my house.  He made sure to put down plastic over runs of carpet in my basement to ensure that it was not soiled.
Since it is now code, Kurt installed an expansion water tank.  This was included in the initial purchase price of the unit, and was not an unexpected and added expense.
Before he departed, Kurt showed me how to manipulate the temperature of the tank.  He then demonstrated how to ignite the pilot light if there was ever a need.
Through the entire process, Kurt was very polite and professional.  I would consider using Henson Mechanical HVAC and Plumbing for future projects.

"Had a problem in the guest bathroom the commode was leaking which caused a leak in our basement. We installed a pail to catch the water and called Mr. Clean Drain Plumbing Inc. right away. Arlie and Frankie showed up within a day and solved the problem immediately. While here we also had them fix a leak in the tubing for the hot water tank. They were highly motivated, highly skilled, very reliable and a real pleasure to work with. A big thanks for such outstanding work and job well done. Bob Savage"

"I purchased Dust Mite Magic Duct Cleaning service on Aug. 16, 2010.
They scheduled an appointment with me for Aug. 24.  No one showed up or called.  When I called them, it was apparent they had failed to put me on their schedule.
We rescheduled for Aug 31.  No one showed up and no one called.  I called and was told that they did not have me on the schedule but, the person I spoke to was quite apologetic and offered personal excuses for the scheduling problems.  He also told me that his company usually does not service my area but they would honor my purchase through Angie's List.
They  scheduled me one more time and had to cancel the appointment but did call to let me know.
Then they scheduled my home for their service again for Sept. 24th.  This time two guys showed with their equipment.  They were very polite and, as far as I know, did a good job.
They made it a point to have me look several times at all the dust that they were getting out of my house.  At one point early in the work,  a whole lot of dust puffed out of the dining room vent and they had to stop and do something to fix that.  They offered to clean my dryer vent for free but I had recently had the whole thing replaced and it was brand new.
This was the first time I had ever had HVAC venting cleaned in a house so I did not know what to expect or how to tell if the job was done properly.

"It went fantastic. The painters were extremely professional and made sure everything was protected. The crew that installed the flooring and replaced everything else were amazing. The entire job was done in 4 days. The crew worked til 9:30pm on the final day to make sure everything was completed. It looks like we have a new house. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. This company is the only one I will use going forward if I need any home remodeling or repairs. Great customer service. Vo checked with me multiple times during the job to make sure we were happy. Thank you AVM for everything."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Jefferson, GA

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.
