"The whole process of replacing my water heater went extremely smoothly. From Chase coming to my house for the evaluation to getting financing. Chase did a great job and was very clean and considerate. Dawn and Nicky at the office were also great. The turn around time for getting approval for financing was extremely fast. Great work everyone. Roger"

"The technician arrived promptly, near the beginning of the time window (he actually would have been earlier except for a flat tire).  He reviewed the site and explained the process.  He then went about his work very professionally.  Mr. Sejas took time to show me the condition of our duct work, given that in 26 years in the house we had never had then cleaned.  We had always made sure that the system filters were either cleaned or replaced on a scheduled basis and had, for a number of years in the 90s, used cheesecloth inside the vents to reduce dust, but our system was in pretty bad shape.
The work consist of blowing air through the ducts at 250 psi and capturing/removing the dust particles at the furnace. It is noisy a each vent must be visited, but there is no reason to stay in the same room or even same area of the house as the technician. The dryer vent cleaning I did not observe, but he worked at both ends, at the dryer and the outside vent.
He advised that we run our system fan during the day, changing to auto setting at night, or at least any time there was a lot of activity in the house that would stir up dust.  This allows the air filtration system to do it job and clean the air - something that had never occurred to me. He also recommended repeating the service every 3-4 years  if after checking the intake duct, it appeared as dust was building up again.
The impetus for having the service done was my HVAC company's technician who, while performing routine maintenance, called me down to the basement and showed my the large pile of dust that had formed at the base of the duct system.  He said forget about the dust, it is the excrement of the dust mites that live in it that can cause respiratory discomfort.  He also warned me to make sure about the  company I hired to do the work, hence my checking Angie's List and getting a discounted price. Since Lowe's came in and cleaned the ducts the inside air is noticeably fresher.. ONE piece of advice. If you are going to have your ducts cleaned do it before you change your air filter, not after. Even with the removal of dust by their equipment, the filter was full of dust - and was brand new because of the recent HVAC service. So I paid twice for a filter when I could have paid once.

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"These guys were great. Good communication beforehand, provided a solid quote and did the install exactly as I had hoped for. This was for a 100 amp circuit for a high powered charger for my Tesla electric car. Jason is great, dependable and trustworthy. They got the whole job done in a day and cleaned everything up before they left. I’ll definitely hire JAS again. Highly recommend. A+"

"Had Jim come out to give me an estimate and hid did a very thorough job.  Called him a few months later to have the insulation and ventilation needs addressed.  Jim and his crew were very professional, trust worthy and they did a great job with the installation.  Jim walked me through the work when they were finished and the price ended up being less than what he originally quoted me.  I can not say enough about Jim and the company.  It is very hard to find great companies who show up on time, are professional and deliver a great product, so I always like to praise the companies that do,  Jim and his crew were all of the above, professional and provided great customer service.  I would highly recommend North Coast Insulation and Ventilation, you will not be disappointed.  Thanks for the great work and a warm house.

"We have an odd sized bathroom in a home that is nearly 100 years old; however, they were able to remove the old tub and fit a new walk-in shower into the space nicely. The crew was polite and professional. Their rates were reasonable. We plan on hiring them again to add an exhaust fan."

"The guys insulated my attic with blown in cellulose, which added an R value of 42 to my entire attic space.  There was only 2" of insulation when I purchased my home so it was DEFINITELY needed.  They also air sealed all the bypasses in the ceilings, installed baffles in every other rafter channel, and added 8 new soffit vents.  They even removed and replaced my old soffit vent covers and installed new ones!! They are coming back in the spring, once the snow is gone, to install the insulated vent pipes for the bathroom fans through roof caps.  I could not have been happier with the work that A&J insulation completed on my house.  Jerry was a great guy, easy to get ahold of, and a pleasure to work with.  I will recommend A&J to my family and friends and would definitely use them for any of my future insulation needs.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lorain, OH

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.
