"Twice a year AC Dave comes to inspect our heating and cooling equipment. Their people always show up on time. They are well prepared because they know our house as we have retained them a little of ten years, since we acquired the house. There is always a good explanation at the end of what's up, like equipment that's still good, but obviously getting old, and may have to be updated or replaced. We're glad to have AC Dave as a reliable back-stop in case things might go awry, but so far so good."

"The AC and heating system needed replacement. Pros: Everyone was professional and punctual. The technicians were knowledgeable. Installing was seem less in 1 day and it works great. Con: I did not know a very nice person would be walking through the personal spaces of the house like bedrooms to check the vents. A heads up the day before to straighten up would be nice. The contract and documents required an attorney to write. It is not possible for a layperson to read massive amounts of information in small font on the work computer tablet. A hard copy at least 12 font would be helpful to allow consumers to understand when large sums of money are spent. A copy is emailed but that is closing the barn door after the horse is out. To finance or not? I started to finance but have decided to pay off the $25,841 for AC/Heating unit, roof installation, grounding, warranty and be done with it. It is a lot of money. I don’t want to pay 9 percent interest to finance."

"Over all it is okay, but there is some missing piece's here. My thermostat does not work, but everything else is pretty much okay. 

Installed new cooling unit, and updated/corrected whatever problems with the duct work. But the thermostat needs to be in a different location. They filed an inspection so we are waiting for that. They corrected a couple problems with the duct work. 

It would be between a C and a B but there is that serous problem with the thermostat. Overall the material was good. There were about 3 or 4 people. It took a good part of the day. They left it clean. 

I think its all going to get resolved.

"Knockout staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and concern about my problem. Came out and fixed my swamp cooler the same day. I liked the idea that tech took a video of before and after to show me what had happen to the hose that was spurting out water. He made sure before leaving everything was working properly. The tech did a fantastic job. I will continue using this company."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lancaster, CA

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.
