"I've been pleased with Polar Bear since they installed my A/C 16-17 years ago. Always prompt response to any problem, always knowledgeable professionals. Now it's time for a new system, I was walked through my options with no pressure to spend more, just the info on variables, and an offer of a discount, and very flexible deposit/payment arrangement. Great company."

"JDL HVAC Services was the contractor provided by our home warranty company to repair our heating system. The were initially prompt and came out to the house and attempted to diagnose the problem. The technician though the problem was the circuit board and JDL delivered a replacement from Carrier the same day. Unfortunately, the part did not fix the problem and the technician thought the replacement part was defective. Unfortunately, it was Friday and Carrier wasn't open on the weekend. I specifically asked the technician what would happen on Monday and was told that JDL would get a new part Monday morning and then come to the house immediately to install it. This was very important since we had no heat on Friday and over the weekend and the temperature dropped below 20 degrees at night. Monday was a disaster. Unknown by us, JDL called at 7:30 a.m. and when we didn't answer, they removed us from their schedule. At 8:30, we realized they'd called, and contacted Joe and he added us back to the schedule, but in the afternoon. When a new (more experienced) technician showed up, he did NOT bring any replacement parts. When I called Joe to inquiry why the technician had no parts with him as promised Friday, he said he wouldn't buy another part because he couldn't get a refund on the first replacement circuit board. He also wasn't convinced the heater circuit board was the problem and wanted to do more diagnostics. I also asked Joe why they didn't come out in the morning as originally promised, and he had the audacity to blame us for not answering his phone call which we had no idea to expect. He also blamed his technician for providing us incorrect information. He did put another employee on standby to get parts from Carrier once the new diagnosis was complete. The new technician found another part that had failed and it was delivered with the original replacement circuit board. Both replacement parts were installed. While the technicians were friendly and informative, Joe was rude and lacked friendly or acceptable customer service skills/friendly. He also does not keep his technicians informed (the new technicians couldn't answer any of my questions) and it did not appear the technicians speak to each other when they transfer a repair. Overall this was not a positive experience due to the poor customer service from Joe. He did call an apologize (left a voicemail) after the repair was complete."

"They were excellent.  The house I bought had a 27 year old hot water heater.  It was obviously on its last leg.  When it nearly stopped providing hot water, I called my home warranty company, and they sent Modern Mechanical.  The technician was so nice and honest; I felt as if he was a long-time friend.  He explained the advantages of a tankless system and since I was getting money from the home warranty that it would be worth the difference I would have to pay.  After installing the system, the kitchen faucet didn't have good pressure, so he replaced it for free.  He even worked to get one that looked like the one I had.  They were absolutely wonderful and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

"After a friend recommended Neighborhood Specialists (NS) to me for a hot water heater and HVAC replacement , I read the reviews. What stunned me was the company only had 5 Star reviews!! Could they really be that good? I was skeptical. But after meeting Stelios and working with him, I can honestly say I am convinced. They earn every one of those 5 stars they get! For more years than I care to admit, I have been using another local HVAC company and NS far outshines them. Stelios is responsive, honest, fair, forthcoming, diligent, hard-working and you can trust what he says. Each appointment I made with NS, Stelios was there early, twice waiting for me to arrive. He respected my time was valuable. I had never experienced that with my other service provider. In fact, whenever they gave me a window of time for their arrival, they NEVER came in that window. Stelios made preparation for every contingency. On installation day, he brought a tent to cover the outside AC unit as there was rain in the forecast, which never materialized. My other company always canceled appointments if there was even a slight chance of rain. As a result, NS will be my new HVAC/hot water heater service provider going forward. I am saying GOODBYE to substandard service, unfulfilled promises of service, and the constant waiting games!"

"I was very pleased with the customer service, price, and installation of the heat pump. The price of the heat pump was very reasonable and half the price quoted by my former HVAC company (a well known, high visibility company)."

"Randall did a great job at unclogging the sink and replacing the pipes that needed to be replaced. He was very professional and explained exactly what needed to be done and what the cost would be. If I have anymore plumbing problems, I will definitely call McCarthy services again and hope that I can get Randall again.Around"

After a beyond horrible experience with one of the Airport endorsed (shared) Van Services about a year and a half ago, I did not want to go with them again (or ever again for that matter!) and looked for an alternative on Angie's List.

Michael answered my phone call and arranged the trip for the following day confirming it by text message right away after I had send him details like my name, address and pick up time in the same way.

He himself showed up 5 minutes ahead of time in a big, clean car (with excellent AC on a above 90 degree humid day!), gave us all the time we needed to get ready, helped with stowing and unloading the luggage and gave us a very smooth ride to the airport.

Michael has been very well mannered, friendly and helpful to us and we are extremely happy with his service.

"I needed the splash guard replaced on my 2007 Honda Civic in a hurry because it was dragging on the ground. My boyfriend and I have been regular ABS Unlimited Auto Repair customers for about two years, so he called them on Columbus Day to see if they could squeeze me in. They said to come right in. When we went in, Tom took a look at it, called the Honda dealership and ordered the part. ABS had it installed by the afternoon. The service was great.
The extraordinary part came when I went to pick up the car. My bumper had become detached on the drivers side a few years ago when I was parked at the Metro. ABS professionally reattached the bumper at no charge...without even telling me! I continue to be delighted by their excellent service. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you ABS!!!

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lovettsville, VA

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.
