"Roosevelt came out and checked my system to see why we weren't getting cold air. He found that we had too low pressure due to freon leaking. He checked the outdoor unit and evaporator coil and determined the leak was coming from the evaporator coil. He was able to get it replaced the next morning. He and his colleague were professional and quick with their work."

"I woke up Monday morning to the familiar sound of water moving through the pipes somewhere in my house. The only problem was that everyone else was still asleep and there were no faucets or toilets running inside the house. Outside, I found that water was flowing big time from the area where the main water supply line enters the house. I shut off the water at the meter and jumped on Angie's List to find a reputable plumber in the area. Jim's Service was very well regarded by others here, so I gave Jim a call. It was still pretty early, but Jim answered right away. I told him about my situation and he said that he'd be glad to help me out. He said that he had one job ahead of me, but that he should be done with that one by late morning. He said that he'd give me a call when he was on his way. At about 11:00, Jim called as promised to say that he was done with the first job and was on his way. Ten minutes later he was here with his son to assist. They dug about three feet down to find that a tree root had broken the PVC elbow joint where the line turned upward to the cutoff valve outside my house. Jim cut away the broken joint, extended the line as needed to replace the removed section, and glued in a new elbow, taking care to not get dirt in the line. Because the joint was difficult to reach and work comfortably, the first try did not seat well and needed to be redone. Jim was patient and spent the extra time needed to make sure it was done right. After verifying the fix, they took the time to replace the weed barrier and mulch moved to dig the hole, leaving it in good shape. Many people I've encountered in the service business would prefer to avoid contact with you until they hand you a bill. Not so with these guys. From start to finish, Jim and his son were pleasant and communicated well what they found and what needed to be done. While he spent about three hours on site, including time to let the glue properly set after each repair, Jim charged me only for the time it would have taken had the first try been successful. Kudos to Jim and son for being prompt, getting the job done right, billing hours fairly, and being pleasant and professional in the process. That's not so common these days. They're just good people.

"Found Destre on Angi after another contractor came out and completely botched the job. Wanted to replace the weather stripping around rear patio door. The previous contractor ruined the bottom seal on the door and left us with a/c escaping and the flys and mosquitoes coming in. Called and spoke to Destre and he came out within an hour. Surveyed the damage and was off to Home Depot to get replacement parts. Could not find but resourcefully found a clear plastic one. Installed and all has been fine ever since. In speaking with Destre learned his experience in all types of home repair. The thing I liked best is he commented “I will not stop working until the job is completed to your satisfaction”. I paid his quoted price and added a generous tip for his diligence and great attitude. I have finally found my home repairman."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lacombe, LA

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.
