"I paid an excessive amount of money to replace the heating system. The sales rep gave us comfort that everything will be done right and the two experienced and fully licensed professionals will be doing the work and that there is a no-excuse warranty, 1 degree guarantee, and 10 years on both the service and hardware. It just so happened that after the install, I told the installer I smelt gas and to check everything. He simply waved it off and said it's fine, give it some time. I told AJ Perri multiple times that there is a gas leak and I asked them to rectify the situation. I called them multiple times to send someone to fix the issue immediately and urgently, but they refused to commit to any resolution and won't send anyone until the gas is turned off for the whole building. I explained that its a condo and that the unit itself in the utility closet has a separate gas shutoff valve. Knowing this, they refused to remediate the gas leak."

"-Called for an estimate to upgrade furnace to a 2-stage system before winter. Knowing my old one was on the fritz. Quote $4,800 for GE -In Feb furnace needs a fix and instead of fix I ask if price was good for the GE 2-stage and if I can upgrade system. All good. Went with upgrade. -Sales Rep says (before install) that we have to switch to Carrier. I say no prob please make sure specs are the same and send me quote with model so I can check. Nothing gets sent. -Day later they show up for install with Carrier unit. I don’t have quote or model number. -After installation I get invoice to sign off on. -Look up model number on invoice and it’s a SINGLE stage. Not what we wanted and not comparable to the GE. Also usually cheaper. -I text my rep and say give me a credit or just swap it out. No biggie. I am told their mistake and they will be out next week. This is in Feb. -2 weeks go by and I ask when the swap will happen. Told another week. -2 more weeks go by and I ask when swap will happen. Told another week. -Stop by location on Mantoloking Rd to verbalize disappointment and was told to leave number for manager. STILL NO CALL. At this point my message is go pound sand. Damage is done. I’m p*****. Don’t come calling when you see bad reviews posted EVERYWHERE."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lakehurst, NJ

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.
