"Went very well. AACH came right out which was desperately needed since today's forecast is pretty high. Nice family run business, 3 generations. They were able to troubleshoot and fix it right away. Ii came out an easy fix with just needing the capacitor replaced. No charge for the service call. I will definitely use this business again for all my HVAC needs.

"I can not say enough positive about Chris and Chuck and O 2 KOOL!! Chuck came out in early January to look at my old Trane gas furnace .. he got it going with no trouble. Now today ... during our ice/snow armageddon it went out again. I called and Chris FaceTimed with me .. looked at what was up and talked me through how to relight the system myself. Good news .. I now have heat! I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs help with their heating and cooling system! They not only helped, but assured me .. a 60 yr old woman .. everything would be OK and safe. That is a VERY rare quality!"

"The installation went well. Justin from sales is awesome and took all the inputs and scheduled the installation appropriately. The installation team Doug and JD are excellent. They worked very hard in the hot sun and installed very patiently. Very cooperative, cleared all the questions we have. We had an issue with the drainage of the purifier as it occupied our washer and dryer which prevented our washing machine installation and Costco denied the installation. But upon contacting prostar Doug or JD came and resolved the issue in no time. He installed the washer and dryer as well. Really appreciate the team and their services.."

"The plumber arrived within the time frame, identified what had to be done and offered different models and price options regarding the replacement heater. Mario the plumber, was very knowledgeable in regards to what the new water heater standards are and what would best work in the space available. After agreeing on the replacement model and price, he picked up the unit from storage and within 2 hours had replaced the unit. During the install he explained in detail the features of the new unit and why new connections (replaced copper with flex piping) would prevent electrolysis due to steel pipes coming out of the heater and copper pipes installed in the home. All in all a very professional job. I would definitely recommend Legend Plumbing to friends and neighbors."

"Everything went smoothly up until I had a ceiling leak and we found that the condensation line to the other unit was broken during the installation. It was not carelessness but a poor design by the builder of the home. Anyway, they agreed to fix it and the damage it caused, without any need for me to make a lot of noise. My only complaint was that the repair was long and drawn out taking 4 or 5 visits to complete and the repairman was good but never came on schedule."

"After being quoted a ridiculous price for a part from a much larger well-known repair company, I decided to try a small business to see if the service was better and fairer. So far so good, Marcus came out and diagnosed the problem and my heater is now back to working just fine. Marcus identified that the other company had recommended me replace a part that nothing was wrong with it, and in doing so saved me money. He was professional and knowledgeable and will definitely be sticking with Texas Air Repair."

"We have been very pleased with the outcome of our HVAC replacement.  Matt was very helpful in taking care of our concern that our system be properly sized.  We were borderline between a 4 and 5 ton system and I know that there are load calculations that can be done in order to determine the size of the unit needed based on your house and conditions like insulation, windows, ceiling height, etc.  Matt was the only contractor who offered to take the time to measure everything and actually do the load calculations.  It turned out that with the insulation upgrade we were already planning, a 4 ton unit was the correct size for our house.  So not only did we achieve the benefit of a more efficient unit, we also received an additional benefit of having a smaller unit that draws less power than we otherwise would have had if we had "guessed" and stuck with the original 5 ton size.  
Once we made the decision to hire Aire Serv they scheduled us quickly, were on time and were very tidy while working at our house.  The unit is working great and we can really see a difference in our electric bill so far, roughly 30% difference compared to August last year although we've had a cooler summer so we cannot attribute the entire improvement to the HVAC upgrade but I'm guessing at least a 20% improvement due to the upgrade.  We used 1000 kWh less of electricity in August 2014 than August 2013 which translates to 36% less than last year and 600 kWh less in August 2014 than July 2014 which translates to 26% less when August 2014 was hotter than July 2014.  Our unit was changed out toward the end of the July 2014 billing cycle.
So bottom line, much lower consumption after installing the new HVAC, Aire Serv took care of all the paper work to send to PEC for our rebate and for getting the Trane warranty extended from 5 to 10 years.  Polite, timely, clean, professional and after doing extensive research I know the price we paid is reasonable.  So overall we have been very happy that we chose Aire Serv.

"The whole process was simple. I made an appointment via telephone and agreed with a service charge of $59 . The tech came over at the agreed time and quickly replaced the light switch with an expected total cost of $99 (including the service charge). I also received additional quotes and clarifications on both the costs and potential future electrical work at my home."

"Called and asked them to bring and install a thermal couple on a gas water heater, because pilot light would not stay on. They sent a Master Plumber, who looked at the pilot light and said it would not stay lit and Tried to sell me a new water heater. They then sent 2 plumbers, took 5 minutes to replace TC. Water Heater works fine now. Cost $205 not $1600 for a new heater."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lockhart, TX

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.
