"Our old gas furnace died during the series of snowstorms in February. Stephan came out the day after we called, to give us the bad news that the unit was so old, no replacement parts were available so the whole thing would have to be replaced. Not really surprising given the age of the unit. He also showed me where the water heater (of similar vintage) was corroding around the outlet pipe, so was also in need of replacement. Kris came out within a couple of hours to look over the house and recommended a couple of options. We were leaving town so installation was delayed a couple of days; otherwise we could have had everything done within 48hours of the initial call. The crew that showed up to do the installation (sorry I forgot your names) showed up promptly at 8AM, worked throughout the day, and left our basement cleaner than it started out."

"Mark's guys went above and beyond to replace my old furnace with a high efficiency model from Lennox, and upgrade my old electronic water heater to a gas water heater. It's done on time and passed inspection. We highly recommend their services."

"Seatown did mostly a good job I suppose installing a new gas burning high efficiency furnace. When the salesperson was providing their initial consultation, they pointed out that our existing thermostat would have to be replaced and the 3-wire thermostat wire would need to be upgraded to 8-wire for the high efficiency furnace. They were going to charge me some exorbitant fee to pull the new wire through 5 feet of wall. When I questioned it, they knocked it down to $500. I told them I'd buy new wire and pull it through myself before they showed up. Needless to say I was pleased to find out that the technician only used 3 of the wires anyway so that attempted overcharge would have been for nothing? Also the technician very cleverly did NOT place the new thermostat on the wall such that it covered up the old hole in the wall so I had to move it after they left. I can't say I was too happy with the furnace exhaust pipe. First, they placed the exhaust pipe above our gas meter but the inspector didn't flag it so I guess there's no issue. Also they used non-paintable caulk to seal the exhaust pipe so that painting it to blend in with the siding was a bit of a problem. They also didn't provide any sort of screen for the exhaust pipe to keep animals from crawling in it. When I questioned that they said that the carbon monoxide would kill them. So their solution is to have a dead animal in our furnace exhaust? Not to mention that doesn't really work in the summer when the furnace isn't running. Other than those rookie mistakes I noticed, I'm sure everything else was done properly?"

"I purchased a new Navien NPE-240A2 Tankless Water Heater and had it installed. I'm loving the new water heater. It replaces an old Noritz tankless that died just before this installation. The on-site estimate was what sold me. Ken went through all the details and answered a lot of questions from me. Zachary came out with Austin and performed the installation just like I discussed with Ken. Zachary kept me in the loop throughout the installation to ensure I was in agreement with how it was going. Zachary always had my interest at heart and ensured no corners were cut. The installation is much cleaner, and more correct than the previous tankless company did. Zachary even listened to my concern about the astectics of the exterior exhaust and quickly found an easier and cleaner looking way to address my concern. He also removed an old recirculation pump and replaced a new main house shutoff valve. The entire area was treated respectfully and left cleaner than they found it."

"I am extremely pleased with my services from Tripped Electric. From working with their administrative staff (Tessa) on scheduling, to the 4 electricians who worked at my home (Jacob, Skyler, Marcus, and Justin) -- this business could not be better at what they do or more professional. I would 100% work with Tripped again for any of my electrical needs."

"In June of this year I contracted with a large company to install a new heat pump at our residence.  While overall I felt they did a fairly decent job there were at least three instances of inconsistent service, attention to detail and disappointment.  The most disappointing aspect of that company's performance was when it came time to "test" my existing insulation and duct work.  I believed there bid to correct my existing ducts and insulation was outrageous.  That said, I was in between a rock and a hard place.  I had just installed a $12K heat pump and I feared any efficiencies I may have gained could be lost due to my existing ducts and insulation.
I contacted 5 companies to provide me with bids, in addition to the upsell price I was previously provided by the company I had install the heat pump.  All five companies are listed on Angie's List.  They all provided fairly consistent bids.  They all helped educate me on what I may need to resolve my existing duct and insulation issues.
Daniel was the final contractor I spoke with.  He showed up early afternoon, looking a bit haggard, as if he had just emerged from a crawlspace - he had.  I was somewhat tentative at first, but I knew I had found the right man for the job the minute he began outlying in detail everything he saw, what he would recommend, how he would address my specific issues and what it would cost.  He was upfront from the get go, wanting to work with my budget and my timetable.  
Daniel and his team showed up three days later and worked 12 hours on a Saturday in 85 degree heat, completely insulating the crawlspace of a 2,000 sf home.  He was back the next day to finish up, working another 7 hours, again in 85 degree heat.  He pointed out certain issues he found along the way, specifically some holes that needed patching with mesh and sealing all gaps in my flooring from the crawlspace.  He sealed all the ducts, adding screws where necessary.  He even sealed the holes drilled by the company who installed the heat pump (one example of their service inconsistency).
Daniel is an extremely hard worker.  I have the utmost respect for his abilities and would recommend him to anyone looking to have any type of crawlspace / insulation work done.  Sure, shop around, talk to the various companies on Angies List, get educated and then do what I did, call Daniel last, negotiate a price and get the job done right.

"One afternoon when leaving our local Costco we noticed a booth advertising Lennox air conditioning for the home. After the last 4 years of record summer heat, we decided to begin the process of investigating this solution. The appointment for the estimate went well with the entire process carefully explained and all of our questions answered. So, we decided to pull the trigger and buy the system. To our delight, company had an opening for the installation a week ahead of the original date and things only got better from there. On the day of the install, Isaac and his crew arrived on time and enforce. At one point there were 6 people and three trucks, all tightly coordinated. Everyone was courteous, professional, and fast. In a little over 6 hours the system was completely installed and thoroughly cleaned up. Overall, we could not be happier with this decision and highly recommend this company for anyone considering whole house A/C. Replacing 13 fans and 2 portable air conditioners is an elegant solution."

"Michael provided timely service, quality materials, and outstanding workmanship. Michael came out and provided a quote for a new AC and furnace unit. Michael stood out from the rest of the companies because he explained every detail of the installation, the different types of stage furnaces and their differences. Michael made sure I understood I knew how to use the new thermostat that was going to be installed and also showed me pictures of recent projects he has done. The crew arrived early and worked late into the evening to complete the job in one day. The price was a little higher than most, but it was worth it. The things provided like great experience, easy installation and professional employees, they came out and tore off the old one out and installed the new one with ease. Again they finished the job in under one day. It has been running amazing. Thank you Home Squad!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Lowell, WA

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.
