"Electrician came out, examined light fixture, and said he'd need to order a part. We scheduled an appointment for later in the week. He then came out, replaced the fixture, and everything now works."

"Mark's guys went above and beyond to replace my old furnace with a high efficiency model from Lennox, and upgrade my old electronic water heater to a gas water heater. It's done on time and passed inspection. We highly recommend their services."

"I didn't do any price comparison. I got to tell you, when they installed my furnace, it was really kind of funny because it was a Friday and they were here until pretty late, and after they left, it all quit. So I called them, and they said we'll send somebody out, and then in a few minutes, it started working again, so I called them back and said since it's the weekend coming up and I don't need either heat or A/C, that Monday was fine. On Monday they came out and the problem there was a little something that was filling up with water and once it was full, it turned everything off. They said they had to order a new part, so if it quits working again, just give it a kick. I did, and it brought it back on. They were very responsive. I just thought it was funny as I'll get out. To give it a kick was just funny. Well I have the air conditioning and heat all hooked together there, and so it was the water from the air conditioning that was going into something that wasn't quite the right size. I really like them so do not mark them down because of that! I always feel that the things tell about somebody is if there's a problem how well they go about fixing it."

"Evergreen installed a new hybrid heat pump system in my house. After researching the options, Evergreen was not only the most reasonable price, but they also scoped out a hybrid system where they would install new duct work and a single air exchanger in the attic and a minisplit in the basement. Scott, the sales person, did not try to upsell me on number of zones (others tried to get me to get 2 units in the basement) and after 2 months with the system, the single unit in the basement is heating the whole basement to our needs. All this was done at a price still considerably lower than the "standard" system price being offered by one of the bigger, similarly named companies. Evergreen was also the only company to propose a hybrid system where they would install a single exchanger in the attic and run new ceiling ducts to the rooms. This was appealing because we don't need to have the cassettes in each room and we didn't need to line the outside of the house with conduit for the cassettes (also the bathroom gets heat, too). Scott was great to work with, answered all my questions, and did his best to size the system correctly. Installation was smooth. There was a small hiccup where the installer accidentally broke a basement window, but Evergreen squared it away. Don and his team were great and the inspections passed. After install support has been great. Denise has been responsive to my questions. Overall, the experience was great with Evergreen and I highly recommend them."

"The installation did not go well at all. The installers were here all day and they tracked mud through our garage. They also did a sloppy job of installing the lines on the wall in the laundry room. The system didn't work so they called a technician to come check. The tech, Tobias, complained that we woke him up. He was very grumpy and we could hear him having angry conversations on his cell phone. He determined that the installers installed the air system upside down! The system worked backwards - heat came out through the intake vents and drew air from the heat vents! He complained to us that this had happened before. The installers returned a day or two later and were here all day fixing their mistakes. They joked with us that we should get an awesome service contract. Then the system required fine tuning and another tech (Chris, a very nice guy) was here multiple times tinkering with the system. When we called our sales rep, we were told he doesn't work there anymore. We requested to talk with the business owner, and were promised a phone call, which never came. On top of all that, the heat pump is SO LOUD and I wish our rep had explained to us how noisy it would be. At the end of the day, I sometimes wish I would have spent the additional few thousand dollars and hired Greenwood Heating and Air. Blue Flame had the best quote and the friendliest sales rep. But the installation was a sh!tshow and I cringe every time that heat pump turns on which I can hear from inside my house."

"In June of this year I contracted with a large company to install a new heat pump at our residence.  While overall I felt they did a fairly decent job there were at least three instances of inconsistent service, attention to detail and disappointment.  The most disappointing aspect of that company's performance was when it came time to "test" my existing insulation and duct work.  I believed there bid to correct my existing ducts and insulation was outrageous.  That said, I was in between a rock and a hard place.  I had just installed a $12K heat pump and I feared any efficiencies I may have gained could be lost due to my existing ducts and insulation.
I contacted 5 companies to provide me with bids, in addition to the upsell price I was previously provided by the company I had install the heat pump.  All five companies are listed on Angie's List.  They all provided fairly consistent bids.  They all helped educate me on what I may need to resolve my existing duct and insulation issues.
Daniel was the final contractor I spoke with.  He showed up early afternoon, looking a bit haggard, as if he had just emerged from a crawlspace - he had.  I was somewhat tentative at first, but I knew I had found the right man for the job the minute he began outlying in detail everything he saw, what he would recommend, how he would address my specific issues and what it would cost.  He was upfront from the get go, wanting to work with my budget and my timetable.  
Daniel and his team showed up three days later and worked 12 hours on a Saturday in 85 degree heat, completely insulating the crawlspace of a 2,000 sf home.  He was back the next day to finish up, working another 7 hours, again in 85 degree heat.  He pointed out certain issues he found along the way, specifically some holes that needed patching with mesh and sealing all gaps in my flooring from the crawlspace.  He sealed all the ducts, adding screws where necessary.  He even sealed the holes drilled by the company who installed the heat pump (one example of their service inconsistency).
Daniel is an extremely hard worker.  I have the utmost respect for his abilities and would recommend him to anyone looking to have any type of crawlspace / insulation work done.  Sure, shop around, talk to the various companies on Angies List, get educated and then do what I did, call Daniel last, negotiate a price and get the job done right.

"G&S did an excellent job installing our new furnace and AC unit. The best thing about G&S is that they warranty for 1 year. The circuit board in our furnace failed within a couple of months (no fault of G&S). Manufacturers warranty would cover the parts cost but G&S repaired and covered labor cost under their warranty. Also they diagnosed the issue and repaired very quickly. Definitely A++ installation and service."

"This company made the process of getting a heat pump (new installation) very easy for us. They were fast on coming out for the initial bid (Brandon is great!) and they were super fast on the installation. Lorin and his crew were delightful and did an excellent job! There price for everything was way better than any other quote we received and they were very conscientious about how they made everything look. We are very satisfied with every aspect of this project and highly recommend them! I would definitely hire them again!"

"We have been using this shop for many years, we are on our 3rd Volvo and they are the best around.  The people are super friendly, professional and highly competent.  The shop is very well run, it is clean and they always give you a quote up front and stick to it, if at all possible.  For our older Volvo they would look for less expensive parts but still fix the issue.  Years ago they replaced and engine for our 1990 wagon that ran for another 100K miles. 

We have moved and it is less convenient to take our cars there, but we continue to do so because they are worth the effort."

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

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.
