"In October 2020, I had a gas leak and I did not even know it until I was doing annual maintenance. The first company that came out made me believe that it could not be repaired and did nothing to mitigate the issue. I thought I would have to figure out where I was going find about $10 to $20 K to replace my boilers. I could not afford that. I called Sync Mechanical for a second look. They gave me an honest diagnosis of the issue and told me where the gas leak was as well. They told me that it is repairable and laid out what my options if I wanted to do repairs or replace it and the cost as well. They talked to me about their financing options at the time. I really had options. This gave me peace of mind because the gas leak was much smaller than I was made to believe before, but Sync Mechanical took the leak seriously. They identified other parts of my boilers that needed to be replaced to avoid pipes bursting such as my expansion tanks and pressure relief valves. I agreed to get the repairs made. Sync Mechanical ordered the parts, kept me updated on the arrival time, and called me when they arrived so I can schedule a time. Sync Mechanical was also honest about their schedule when also responding to emergency calls of no hot water. I appreciated that because I was never left with false expectations. They were able to fit me into schedule even when it was very busy. It felt great going with a local professional company that were honest at every step of the way and large enough to handle multiple jobs in the Hudson Valley. I did not feel overlooked. I have been stood up by contractors twice before so it was really important to me that my time was not being wasted. The repairs were done within a day and all the old materials were disposed of by Sync Mechanical. I also received my invoice in the mail which made it easy for doing my taxes. Sync Mechanical helped me make an informed decision and also learn more about how my boilers work. I never felt like they were condescending and I appreciated their respect for family as well."

"I am very pleased with the work. The new light fixtures look great and the process of having them installed was painless. Ohms was always responsive and friendly. But more importantly, they did the job correctly and quickly. I hope to them again for a much bigger project."

"Juan was very professional and did a great job. He took his time and made sure everything was working perfectly and cleaned up the area. We had some issues finding some parts, but he spent time looking for them. He is honest and once he gives you a price, he wont add or change it. I would highly recommend Juan for al your AC needs. Thank you. Frank"

"Purchased the deal in the evening on Friday Feb 12, 2016. At time of purchase I advised vendor that best way to reach me is by email or Angie's messaging. Also provided two possible dates in March for the work. Winston responded the next day via Angie's message, and we set up the service date for my  next weekday off, March 2. And I sent him some pictures of the plumbing and street valve. Could not get a commitment on an arrival time, but he called me that morning and advised he had a 9am dentist appointment, and would arrive after that. Showed up with his helper about 1.5 hours later. We could not get the street valve cover off, and thought it belonged to the city, so I made arrangements for Winston to come back today, March 15.
I called the city water dept, and they sent someone over, he said it was not their valve, it was mine and he couldn't touch it, I guess each city is different?.
Anyway, I got the cover off with the help of a saw, a big hammer and a pipe wrench in time for Winston to come back today. We communicated via Angie's messaging in the meantime. Still could not get commitment to arrival time, although I asked for 8am.
Called Winston at 8:15 this morning and he said he would be her by 9:15, arrived at  9:00. We could not get the street valve closed, it was stuck. Not surprised, as it has not been accessed in at least 30 years!. We decided he would put the new valve just downstream of my existing shutoff, and from now on, will not use the old one to prevent further leaks thru the valve stem packing. I also asked him to rebuild the hose bib in the garage adjacent to the main valve, and install heat tape on the pipe before wrapping it (I already had the heat tape, just never got around to installing it. When attempting to replace the washer in the hose bib, the retaining screw broke, so he installed a new hose bib into the old valve body for me. Although I was willing, Winston did not charge extra for the extra trip and the extras I asked him to do.
Overall, I am more than satisfied with this experience. My only complaint is not getting an advance commitment on arrival times. But once I did get a time, he was punctual, even early. Would give an A- on responsiveness if I could. But overall, an A experience!
Will definitely use A REAL PLUMBER again. In fact, we already discussed installing a freeze-proof valve for my backyard hose bib.

"Bob and the Modern Remodeling team did a great job in the renovation of a townhouse I had recently purchased that was in disrepair. They gutted the kitchen and bathrooms, laid new flooring in every room (bathrooms (tile), kitchen (tile), living areas (hardwood), and bedrooms (carpet)), installed all new cabinets, lighting, and appliances in the kitchen. They were responsive and easy to work with, and I would use them again for future projects!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Marlboro, NY

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.
