"It went extremely well. The technician was professional and thorough. He spend at least 30 minutes with me reviewing the current configuration to ensure that the replacement water heater would meet our needs. We switched from a tank water heater to a tankless water heater and couldn't be happier. The tech did a great job with the installation and left the area clean and organized."

"Since purchasing a yearly maintenance contract with RT Moore last year through Angie's List, I have had RT Moore out to service my furnace and most recently my air conditioner.  RT Moore recently contacted me about renewing my yearly maintenance on my heating and air conditioning system.  So I scheduled the visit and the Service Technician, Rob, arrived on the job.  We discussed what was included in the maintenance contract and then he began to service the air conditioning unit.  After he had completed  the planned maintenance, he alerted me to a situation with the air conditioning unit, it was overheating and drawing too much electricity, which is an indication that the unit was failing.  We discussed options at this time.  
Last year (2013), the RT Moore Service Technician and I discussed what would be a good replacement unit and approximate cost to replace.  He indicated that the current unit was definitely on "borrowed time" and thought that I could go with a similar size unit 2.5 ton or potentially upgrade to a 3 ton unit as the current unit was undersized for the house.  The price quoted was noted on the invoice for future consideration.  
Well, it was now a year later and time to replace the unit.  When the RT Moore Service Technician quoted me the current price, it was substantially less than last year and I was pleasantly surprised.  I okayed the replacement and they came on a Friday and replaced the unit and I am very pleased with the new system.  
Overall RT Moore is an excellent company to do business with and their technicians are prompt and courteous.  The two gentlemen that replace the unit were very efficient and left my house and property in a clean and orderly manner.  
HIGH MARKS for RT MOORE.

"Sooo....first, Jim is a very nice guy.  However, Jim now works in Nashville during the week and is only home to the Huntsville area on the weekends.
My first impression of him was that he was awesome.  My computer system had crashed because I pulled the plug during a thunder storm before the computer fully shut down which resulted in the computer hanging up.  Jim took my call while in Tennessee and suggested how to fix the system.  For this I am very grateful.

What happened next was I had him come and check my computer to make sure everything was working properly.  He came to my house and spent an hour tweaking it (basically running various checks on the system), for which I paid him $50.  He suggested that my laptop would work much better if I had Windows 7 and increased my RAM up to 4 GB.  He said he could install it for me for (including the RAM) for about $160.  We met the following weekend for the handoff and he loaded Window 7.  When I received the call it was ready, the bill was $227.50.  I was surprised that is was $70 more than quoted, but paid it anyways.  When I asked about the RAM, he mentioned he did not upgrade the RAM and this would be another $60.  I was a little discouraged at that point since I felt like I was being taken advantage of, but the guy is relatively nice, so I said to go ahead and order the RAM.  He did so and the following weekend was supposed to install it.  Due to some personal things in his life, he wasn't able to install it, so I picked it up since I had to go out of town and could use the IT guy at my new location to install it for me.  When we went to install the RAM, the system wouldn't let us do it since my particular type of laptop can only take 2GB of RAM max.  If Jim had gone to the crucial.com website (where he bought my RAM) and entered my computer system on it, it would have told him the max amount of RAM that could be installed on that unit.  He did not do that.  He is supposed to refund my $60 this next weekend.

I think if Jim wasn't burning the candle at both ends by having a job in Tennessee during the week and trying to run this business on the weekends, it would've been a better experience.  Perhaps taking a few extra minutes to SLOW DOWN and write out an estimate of everything he would need for the job including the prices would ensure people know up front how much the repair would/should cost so they can budget accordingly.  I think if he had taken that approach, it might've been a better experience.  So now I am stuck with a laptop that runs slower because Windows 7 uses more memory and a laptop that can't be upgraded to more RAM.  Basically, the last step which cost me almost $300 was not necessary.  If you need something simple done like coming back from a system crash, he would be okay to use.  Otherwise, for the bigger jobs, I recommend he provide a written estimate with the items he plans to do.

UPDATE:  After posting this review, I received a number of text messages from Jim commenting on the bad review.  I understand he is upset, but harassing someone about a review is not a good way to go.  My review was honest and not meant to be mean, but to let those that use Angie's list get what they pay for...an honest review of someone's experience."

"My realtor, the woman who is helping my sell my house, recommended Kevin Petree as an excellent plumber and recommended that he be called for an estimate in connection with my perceived plumbing problem. I did in fact call him and he and his brother arrived prepared for anything; it appears that only a few minor adjustments were required."

"Austin and his helper came on Monday, Aug. 4 to put up our new windows for our 3 Season Room.  They did an excellent job and even cleaned up afterward.  The porch looks fantastic and was even better than expected.  We LOVE our new room.  We would recommend this company to anyone wanting a professional job done."

"Greg had given us a quote for a refinished kitchen and to rebuild our old porch into a 4 seasons room.  Greg's price was great, but we did not have the budget for all the hardware and appliances for new kitchen.  So we decided to have our porch remodeled for 4 seasons room.  Greg's quote was great and so we moved forward.

His group definitely ran into many snags that were not expected.  Our porch was not built the greatest in the first place, so Greg's group had to overcome several difficulties with the remodeling.  Greg's group consisted of many caring and professional carpenters and workers that spent a long time around my property and I felt very comfortable with all of them.  They even made many accommodations for our family dog, who did not like all the construction, but everyone seemed to work around his situation.

All in all the final work was a total 180 from the original look.  Our new 4 seasons room looks fantastic and we definitely love all the detailing and work that was put in.  It did take a little longer than planned, and some parts of communication were difficult during some of the harder room transitions.  However, with that being said, Greg does excellent work and we would definitely recommend his group for any remodeling job."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Ladoga, IN

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.
