"This review was 5 stars until about a week ago. I needed a new oil tank installed last year. C2G came out and performed the task. They were the most cost effective option so I went with them. The install was a success and the tank looks great. However, a couple weeks after I had to have them back out again to fix the leaking oil filter. They came out, tightened it, and it stopped leaking... for that period of time. Fast forward to this year and getting ready for the colder months. I noticed a small puddle underneath the filter, again. This would be the 3rd time I would have needed them to come out to repair it. At that point I question if it was installed correctly or not. I called them asking if they could come out, they said with a fee and showed opposition in understanding where I was coming from, saying I was outside of their 45 day guarentee. The lady I spoke with said she would speak to her supervisor and follow up with me. That never happened. I had to have a plumber over to my house, and luckily he was able to repair the leak. The rubber gasket was malformed inside, causing the slow leak. Despite a smooth install, I was really disappointed with how they treated a previous customer. They really didn't care that their work was sub-par. A newly installed oil tank should not be leaking a year later. I will not use this company again."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Kent, CT

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.
