"Great! We had 3 quotes for this and Choate’s came in the beat price for exact same service and equipment. Excellent communication throughout the process. The entire replacement was done in less than two hours. The installers took great care in ensuring everything was clean and were very professional. Highly recommended."

"I am very happy with the high quality work and professionalism of Opach's A/C & Heating. Opach's installed my new unit and they did a wonderful job. Opach's HVAC crew was very professional and as soon as they arrived they started working immediately. These guys are no nonsense and they appear to be experts at what they do. I really appreciate the fact that throughout the install they asked if we had questions. They also thoroughly inspected my entire unit. They replaced both the outdoor and indoor unit components. Opach's A/C also installed a new wireless thermostat. This thermostat allows us to check the temperature of the home when we are away and to adjust it while away as well. It also checks the weather. Opach's A/C & Heating staff and crew were very professional, and their services were competitively priced and they did a great job. I've had my unit for several days now and it's still working wonderfully. I will definately use Opach's A/C & Heating again."

"I called Steve and he said he would be there the next day.  I told him an a/c guy  I knew came and put freon in it, and within 24 hours it wouldn't cool.  Steve asked me did he check for leaks, and I said no I don't think so.  He said, that is the first  he should have done was find out where it was leaking the freon.  My air conditioner is old, but I told him I couldn't afford to replace it right now, so he found the leak and stopped the leak and it has worked great on every warm day we have had.  
Steve is the most honest, kindest gentleman you could ever want to meet.  He was very sympathetic with me and didn't try to insist that it wasn't worth fixing and try to tell me I needed a new one.
I would highly recommend this company.  This day and time, so many people sell you things that you don't even need or try to convince you to replace the unit with another one.  This company listened to me and fixed my problem and did it at a very reasonable cost.  
I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my family and friends.
I was very please with their service and price.

"Ronald and his team did an awesome job! Very professional and always on time. This was a two part job so he had to work with my countertop installers and came through even when he was swamped after the ice storms we had. I will absolutely be using Wambo’s Waterworks again and my sink/faucet/dishwasher look amazing!"

"Dennis came out to give us an estimate on a new HVAC unit. He was very professional and such a nice man. Their estimate was less expensive than the other three companies we contacted."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"I was very pleased with my experience with Ferguson Plumbing, Heating, & Air. My A/C upstairs went out and was recommended to this company by several people. They came out same day and provided prompt and reliable service. They did a great job of explaining what they were doing throughout the process. I would absolutely use again."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Memphis, TN

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.
