"I had a brand new package air conditioning unit installed back in 2005 with a 10-year parts and labor warranty as follows: "1 year all labor, 10 year all parts,10 year all coils,10 year compressor, Lifetime heat exchanger. 1 year service agreement, 5 year thermostat control (Rheem EcoNet Control Center). ** this system qualifies for a 10 year all parts and labor plan." I currently have a problem with a leak in my evaporator coil. I called in and was told that I would be charged $89 for a service call plus any refrigerant and any other miscellaneous charges that came up. In addition, because I did not sign up for a "service agreement" at the time of installation, the "10 year all parts and labor plan" was INVALID. No where in any documentation I received states the requirement for a service agreement in order to meet the requirements for the 10 year all parts and labor warranty. I am happy to provide the documentation that I received from Advanced Air Technology that listed the work requirements and warranty information to anyone, anytime. Never once did I see a document where i was presented with the option to accept or reject a "service agreement" at the time of installation. Now that I have a serious and probably expensive repair, the parts would be covered but I would be charged an enormous amount of money for labor, refrigerant, supplies, labor time, etc. I am very disappointed in Advanced Air Technology and I would not recommend their sales or services to anyone at this time."

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs
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.
