"After getting several estimates both of price and products...we chose Aire Serv. They came recommended by a friend, and it was such a great choice! From the estimate, to the installation, to the office staff, everyone was so knowledgeable and courteous! Dave took the time to see what our homes needs were, and took so much time and patience explaining the hvac system. He was able to solve the problem that I had with the bedroom temp being too high-so easily! Two other contractors offered no solution! We had a complete install done, and Andrew and Will did a great job, even cleaning up every speck before they left! Andrew did such a great caulking job around the work in the wall...I appreciated that! We had one small issue and Joe came right out and fixed it asap! So nice and took great care. Everyone put on booties to walk through the house, and were very careful with our home. I am thankful for a job well done!"

They are really good. I had four guys out here for, like three days. They put in a great heat pump real easily. Not only did they put in a new furnace, but the ducting that was in here at the house was, like, 30 years old so they tore it out and re-did it with custom ducting made out of big sheets of metal. They only charged me $3,000 for the furnace. I am glad I did because it has made a huge difference in the air quality here. They came out yesterday. They said they would be back for the winter servicing. I have an oil backup so they were out for a number of hours yesterday. They will service it for the next 10 years and it is under warranty for 10 years too. They are great guys. Frank Ford is the owner of it. He and his guys do excellent work and really care. Their prices are as good as anybody. The price depends on what unit you get so it is hard to say. These guys are terrific. I would say if you needed a new heat pump or furnace they should be number one on your list.

"Hands down one of the best companies in Chester County. Kevin, the owner, is a class act and couldn’t be more personable. Mike and Max inspected the chimney and explained everything very clearly. I will continue to use Chadds Ford Chimney Sweep in the future."

"Naturally, on the hottest weekend of the summer in 2019, with a houseful of guests for that weekend, the capacitor went. Normally, I'd order the part and fix it myself, but that would have taken days to acquire. Air Temp showed up first thing in the morning the following day, and quickly verified the broken part and replaced it. Sure, of course it was more than doing it myself--but that's not the point. They were timely, had the part in hand, and were extremely reasonable on the price. We use them for our annual AC and heater checkups as well and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend the team."

"Great, they were friendly and professional. I also had a crack in my windshield that needed to be replaced, they advised me of a person they use and the cost. No pressure to go with their provider. I chose to go with another glass company and I just had to return to get my inspection stickers put onto my new windshield.

"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."

"See above.  Several weeks ago I had my air conditioning compressor replaced.  These people (Matt and Jess) are professional, friendly and do what they say they will, for a reasonable price, and the car is ready when they say it will be ready.  They are reliable and honest.  I left my old mechanic over two years ago (for overcharging me on a repair that wasn't needed) and having been doing the normal rounds of the chain tire stores for service since then.  This is an old fashioned neighborhood mechanic, with modern equipment, honest people, doing fine work for a good price.   I am delighted to have found them through Angie's list.  Just another example of why I use Angie's list for every new vendor I go to.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Kirkwood, DE

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.
