"Our air conditioner stopped working. We were informed by a large national company that the unit needed to be replaced. We were given a quote between 13 and $18,000. We sought a second opinion from short pump heating and air. Josh quickly determined the problem and had our unit working for a fraction of the cost."

"I put off replacing my furnace b/c of so many bad experiences…..& I wanted to do some research before hiring someone to replace it. Unfortunately it went out again & I needed someone immediately. I took a chance & called Armstrong after reading reviews. They came out quickly, recommended replacement & provided all information up front. They thoroughly addressed all my concerns…. they were professional, on time and treated my home like their own. I’m very satisfied"

"First of all, I contacted Rakim with short notice of an emergency job that needed to be done. The person I referred him to was in a dire strait situation ( there was no heat in the home) and the weather was frigid cold. He showed up on time, assessed the situation, and immediately took action and got the job done! He is honest, fair, and above all has a great personality and has a genuine concern for people. I recommend Rakim and his son for any job big or small because he will do what is best for the situation and not take advantage of you. He is also very knowledgeable about what he’s doing."

"My experience with C3 was wonderful, start to finish. Bryan, unlike other folks who gave me an estimate, took time to talk with me, explain everything in detail, and was available as needed throughout the project. He has also been great about promptly providing the names of good companies for other needs I had, i.e. a plumber or someone to check out possible water damage. The crew were prompt, polite, and very patient with my questions throughout the process, as was the office staff. I would not hesitate to hire this company again!"

"My Air Conditioner just died and I had to quickly find a reputable, local company to replace it. After having a local contractor come out and provide me with a bid that seemed really high, I looked on NextDoor and saw a reference to Angie's List and specifically Automatic Climate - we used to use Angie's list and so I went there an checked it out - Automatic Climate had the most "A" reviews - something like 700+ in the Richmond area. Figuring I'd pay more but also recognizing that there's peace of mind paying a bit extra for quality work from a local company, I contacted them for an estimate. A gentleman named Michael who's their VP of estimates contacted me shortly -Michael was immediately likeable and came across as totally knowing his stuff - he explained the story of the company and how through their 4 step installation process, they differentiate from the other 199 HVAC contractors in the Richmond area. He came out for a quote and left a professional packet of materials for me to look at - we decided to go with them - Bottom line - these guys were awesome. Highlights: 2 years 0% financing, timely completion, and perhaps the most surprising thing, their bid was the lowest of the 3 I received (and of course the people, from Michael to the lead installation manager Chris to their receptionist. I am now a raving fan of Automatic Climate (and actually Angie's list because I see why they have the most positive ratings.)"

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

"Atlantic Heating came out at the scheduled time, and the installers were courteous, professional and kept my house clean.   They had no problem 
installing a new coolant line, even tho another company said it could not be done!   Andrew came out to make sure the job got
started on time and correctly, and checked in several times.   He was available to answer questions, and responded promptly when we needed to move the thermostat after the installation.
They were very creative in relocating the new unit on my hill and built a very nice pad.  
Andrew Cox made this purchase as easy and painless as possible and helped me get a Dominion VA Power rebate as well as
special financing.   When I have to replace my 2nd unit, I will definitely work with him.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Mechanicsville, 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.
