"We have a water system on our place for cleaning and treating our water since we have wells. We have a water clarification system which we bought from them and they come out every year and do maintenance on it. It is more than just a softener, it's a clarification system as well, it crops out solids and everything. They've got a service tech that's really knowledgeable and knows his business. Their maintenance costs and service calls are not inexpensive but they are no different from anybody else. When they came to install the new part, it took about 20 or 30 minutes."

"I can think of nothing that I would change, or suggest be done differently. It went as if the installers were working on their own homes. Cliff did a great job of getting me the best deal on a great system, and Joe and Brandon showed great effort installing the system. They were both friendly and knowledgeable, and I could really see their commitment to doing the best job possible. I am just so grateful to have found Air Care Today, and chose to go with them. I will definitely mention Air Care Today to my coworkers and friends. Sincerely A lifetime customer Jeff Menacher"

"The plumber arrived within the time frame, identified what had to be done and offered different models and price options regarding the replacement heater. Mario the plumber, was very knowledgeable in regards to what the new water heater standards are and what would best work in the space available. After agreeing on the replacement model and price, he picked up the unit from storage and within 2 hours had replaced the unit. During the install he explained in detail the features of the new unit and why new connections (replaced copper with flex piping) would prevent electrolysis due to steel pipes coming out of the heater and copper pipes installed in the home. All in all a very professional job. I would definitely recommend Legend Plumbing to friends and neighbors."

"After being quoted a ridiculous price for a part from a much larger well-known repair company, I decided to try a small business to see if the service was better and fairer. So far so good, Marcus came out and diagnosed the problem and my heater is now back to working just fine. Marcus identified that the other company had recommended me replace a part that nothing was wrong with it, and in doing so saved me money. He was professional and knowledgeable and will definitely be sticking with Texas Air Repair."

"The technician arrived on time and very professional. We had an issue with a leak on one of our units. Instead of pressuring us to go through his company, he explained what was going on and provided a quote. He was supportive when we wanted to wait on scheduling anything so that we could contact the original installing AC company to find out about the warranty."

He checked out our 11 year old washer and told us it was better/cheaper to replace the washer than repair it because the parts would be refurbished and take lots of time to get.  In addition he said that other parts would probably break down in the near future because of the age of the washer.  What honesty.  I highly recommend Next Service.

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

"I scheduled a visit btw  8am-9am and technician got there at 9:08.
 I called the office at 8:30 am  to verified the appointment  since I hadn't got a phone call that the technician had been dispatched.  Operator said that the Technician was still at Camp Bullis road office and asked me  if I wanted to talk to the technician on the phone.
I had sent a message before I scheduled the appointment  and I got a reply  back that said that a technician had to go and evaluate the problem why should I talk to the technician on the phone if they are going to the house to evaluate the cost?
Technician got to the house at 9:08 and was very professional.
The estimate was $275 to remove a garbage disposal and unclog the 16 inch pipe. More like taking the pipe and replacing it with a new one to make a connection to the pipes from the other sink. (double sink).
$85 dls to go and work on the shower faucets and see why there was no pressure. Total price to repair the shower was not included. $85 was just to check the work needed. $85 was going to be discounted towards the final bill of the shower.
$275 for the garbage disposal removal and unclog or change the 16inch  pipe was the price that got my attention in comparison with other estimates. 
I don't like when there is not an up front quote of the final price. This was the highest estimate that I got .
Called another company from the list and ended up paying $55 for the shower  repair bc the problem with the no pressure was an easy fix that took 15 minutes to repair and $75 for the garbage disposal removal and new pipes.
Advice: To make a good impression always give the total estimate of the work to be performed and have competitive prices. Be between the time frame of the scheduled appt and call the costumer to confirm the appointment.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in La Vernia, TX

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.
