"The replacement of two 16 year old AC units went perfectly. Not only did the job include the removal of two old swamp coolers, but also the repair and restoration to the walls and stucco from the cooler openings. Everyone was extremely professional and explained the job in detail."

"5 stars for Lee’s AC and plumbing! I took a chance in hiring them because of the brilliant presentation of their team sales person RICKY! He not only bent over backwards to convince me that his company was the best choice in providing and installing my new AC unit but continued in overwatch to make sure that the job went exactly as what was promised and that I was completely satisfied which I am. I also want to commend both Caesar and Zach S for their technical efforts in making sure that the project went without a hitch. Along with the AC portion of the project, I was impressed by the plumbing side of their company who fulfilled the membership portion of plumbing tasks which were promised within the free 1 year membership which was included in the cost of the AC project. Due to the diligence of Ricky and the rest of the team, I will surely remain a paid member for years to come after the free one year has lapsed. Thank you Ricky and please thank the rest of the team that made all of this possible! 🙏 Jeff Prince"

"Chris' reputation for being trustworthy and honest makes him my #1 guy for air conditioning repairs. Over the years, his philosophy of doing everything he can to repair the unit (as opposed to other companies that are money hungry and assert that replacement is the only option) is the reason I seek out his opinion first whenever I have an air conditioning problem. He had to cancel on me on the originally scheduled afternoon appointment due to a longer than expected job he was doing. But I respect his reputation so much that I am willing to overlook this situation and simply wait the next morning when he was able to make it to my house. His expertise is extremely valuable to me even if I have to wait a little longer for him to stop by. What is important to me is that he gives a knowledgeable and honest diagnosis. In this case, my a/c unit was making a lot of unpleasant screeching and grinding noises. It almost sounded like metal rubbing on metal. So I turned off the a/c until Chris arrived. He was confidant that a replacement of the fan motor would fix the problem and prevent future problems. He was correct. I have not had any noises since getting the new fan motor and everything is fine. One thing that concerns me though is that with this particular Century brand fan motor, Chris' final installation resulted in the need to have two separate wires that protruded out the top grill and then back into the motor (see photo). They are safely away from the spinning fan, but I have never seen this before. It is a little concerning due to future exposure of the wires to extreme summer heat and the possibility that birds or rodents might be attracted to chew on them. I do have a one year warranty for the work. I just hope these exposed wires will stand up to the outdoor elements."

"I always have had excellent service and no exception this time.  John typically calls before he arrives to let me know if he is on schedule and the work is done promptly and efficiently.  If there are shortcomings or issues with the system, he has in the past made recommendations for improving the system and saving on utilities, but never pushy about it.  He is good about cleaning up after any work and is professional in his manner and speech. 

I have used his services for several years with no complaints.  In prior years, I used one of the larger firms, but while their work was acceptable, I still get junk mail from them.  No such complaints with Ability AC. "

"Rudy has been our go-to handyman for about 2 years now, since we found him on Angie's List.  He gives you a fair price, he's honest, always does a great job, and he doesn't dilly-dally or waste any time. I like that attitude that he's like me, efficient and very professional, although it does seem that he's always in a rush and can sound like he's curt sometimes.  But we don't stress about it because we know that it's just his accent and the way he speaks, and he is actually nice and funny.
On this job, he came over as we explained to him what we wanted to be done, and so that he can also give his estimate and explanation on how the job will be done.  We still consulted with other providers just to make sure that we are still getting a good price, and were happy to find out that although he wasn't the lowest bid, it was still a fair price, and with Rudy we can make sure that the job is done right the first time.  We've dealt with bad service providers before, and we don't want to deal with those nightmares anymore.
We were able to schedule the job within a week after the estimate, and he was there on time with his partner.  They used electric sanders, ladders, and plastic to protect other parts of the house including the ground from the dust and paint.  They also used top-quality paint from Frazee.  They even repaired some of my fascia that already had cracks on them, and I thought that I had to totally replace them.
Rudy did a lot of the job himself, while closely supervising and inspecting the work of his partner.  He cares about the quality of their work so he makes sure that it's done right. They also cleaned up after themselves as usual.
He also gave us advice on how to maintain or repair some more things in the house, and advice on which ones are worth repairing or if we are better off replacing them altogether.  Rudy is a top-notch handyman, and we will keep relying on him for multiple things that need repairing or customizing.  We highly recommend him for quality, price, professionalism and reliability!

"We had Fast Response Services replace an old air conditioning/heat unit on our roof. The price was good and they did an excellent job with the installation. They showed up on time and finished in a reasonable amount of time, even considering that they had to do some custom work due to solar panels on the roof. They also installed new smart thermometers for us."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Las Vegas, NV

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.
