"These guys are real pros. No pressure and they get the job done quickly and clean up afterwards. The weak of install was very rainy and they set up huge tents to keep the equipment dry. They navigated and tight crawl space with no issues and came back and re seeded grass where the rain caused the turf to get churned up. Great firm I would rate A+++ if that was on the scale."

"I met the owner, who came on short notice when a company doing conversion of our water heater to natural gas did something that ‘shorted out’ our AC.  I was so impressed with their service that we signed a continuing maintenance agreement.  They come out twice a year to check out your heating and cooling system to head off any potential problems.  They haven’t tried to upsell us anything upon their inspections, they did find a ‘switch’ that was going bad and replaced it this past spring.  They didn’t say we HAD to have it replaced but that it might not make it through the summer; so we did have it replaced. It cost around $80."

"Jim was very helpful and personable to work with.  I had recently moved to the Huntsville area and was unable to connect my wireless printer.   There were also some things going on with my laptop that made me suspect a virus had somehow gotten on to it, it was running more slowly than usual, and I wasn't happy with the Win7 configuration I had done when I bought the computer.  Jim came in and assessed the problems and we agreed on a time for him to take the laptop and reinstall the OS.  He was able to get the wireless connection to work as well.  He took the computer on a Friday evening and returned it Sunday evening in prime condition. 
A few weeks later I  got an error message while reinstalling my accounting software so I called Jim.  He talked me through the problem over the phone and I was able to get the program installed so I could use the program.
Jim is great to work with, his pricing is very fair, he is prompt and reliable.  I will definitely use his services again.

"I cannot say enough good things about them. They are the only ones authorized in this area to put an aresol inside the air vents. It seals little air  leaks in your vents. It also gives protection against future mold, that kind of thing. Signature Exteriors referred me to them. They did their job exactly the way they were supposed to. They were aware. I have dogs and they were aware, don't just open the front door, the dog might get out. They were here long enough that I couldn't just lock the dogs out. You've got these big fans and blowers and all that. They took such care with my house. It's big major equipment that can only be so dainty with it. They did their best.
We still have one more piece to do. The first thing they do is they clean all of your vents. That is included in the price to putting the aresol treatment in. The aresol treatment, there's a computer to tell it what it's doing and when it's done. Getting it set up is the biggest part of the job. It takes about 2 hours to clean up all the vents and that kind of thing. The computer comes on and says, yes you have things in good shape or no you still have a gap somewhere. Well, they came last week and on the downstairs the computer kept saying you've got a gap and the man the came up to me and said, Ma'am it says that you have a 27 square inch hole somewhere in all your venting. I said, oh my gosh, let me just pay you. You spent half a day and you didn't get to do your job but that's on me not on you and he said, no, ma'am, we're going to find the hole. Well, again, all this is closed up. They start taking out the vents, using their flashlights and using their cell phones to photograph all throughout the venting of the downstairs of my house until they find a phantom vent. When the house was built 31 years ago, they closed off where a vent was supposed to go. I have been heating and cooling the gap where the downstairs ceiling and the upstairs floor, I don't know how many square feet that is, we've been heating and cooling this for 30 years. So, they said, here, let us email you the photos and let us talk to our boss. We know that we don't do this kind of thing but somebody needs to take care of this. I said that I wanted to pay them and he said there is no way we are going to charge you to get nothing done. He said, you let you know when the vent is replaced and I'll send the guys out and they'll finish the job they came to do."

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

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.
