"Ken came out originally to do some duct cleaning but noticed that a lot of our supply and returns weren’t sealed properly with mastic (he showed us the areas that needed work). He came back out and sealed all the ducts, installed an air purifier and cleaned and sanitized all the ductwork. He was polite, knowledgeable, professional and hard working. Definitely recommend his services."

"Unit wasn’t cooling so I called the company, who came out within hours. My system wasn’t able to fixed that night so they left me a portable unit, which I’ve never had done before. And they returned the next morning with the needed part. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend."

"I contacted several a/c places where I had failed attempts of service and loss of money, I eventually ran across West Coast Air and the guy was very professional and prompt with his service. I must say I've had service done plenty of times and my a/c just never blew good enough or it just felt like I had no a/c air at all. He literally was here for 30 mins and the changes to my a/c have been very noticeable for one you can actually feel the cold air unlike other services I have received. I will most definitely be recommending him to my family and friends in the future for services including returning to do mine *this is my second review* not sure if my first one posted not the best at computers."

"The original estimate process was incredibly easy, within an hour I had 3 estimates with varying seer levels. Out of 8 estimates from 8 companies I chose Payne as it had the most valuable option. I was able to get an install nearly next day, and it was done completely within 5 hours, and the installers were extremely polite and professional. I have yet to have any issues with the system, and have purchase the optional labor warranty in case I do."

"My central heat/air system was installed in 2013 and I had ongoing
problems with the drain line getting blocked. The original installer
was unable (or unwilling?) to address the problem and wanted to charge
me a $75 service fee every time they came out. I called Air 4 U when I
was without air conditioning in June. They came out the same day (a
Sunday!) and made a serious attempt to address the problem. When it
turned out more work was needed, they came out the next day at no
additional charge. I've had no problems since. I appreciated their
promptness and reasonable price. Most of all, they solved the problem
and now my system works the way it should. I would definitely recommend
these guys.

"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 were very professional with all aspects of the job from the moment they walked in and explained the benefits of replacement, all the way up to the new installation. The system went down on a Friday and was installed the very next day. They were quick and kept the work area clean and after it started up it has been working great ever since. They threw in a U.V system to keep the coil clean and a 4" media filter so I don't have to replace the 4 filters in my house, now just the 1.


Couldn't be happier with the work performed would recommend them to my friends and family."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Kathleen, FL

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.
