"As we expected, the hot water heater installation went smoothly. Previously, Anderson Heating and Cooling replaced our whole house AC, and they check our AC and furnace annually. From the people who man the phones to the installers and technicians, we can count on them to respond to our calls quickly, conduct business with the highest degree of professionalism, and provide us with the best service and product to meet our needs. We appreciate their strong work ethic as well as their consistent effort to provide the customer with the best overall experience."

"Hired this company to install new furnace and air conditioner. I was impressed with Mike the salesman, he worked with me to make sure I got the best system that I wanted for our house. My biggest concern with picking a company out to do the installation. Any retired HAVAC person will tell you that you can buy the best products, but if not installed right you are going to have problems. Don and Dwayne did an excellent job making sure everything was done right the first time ( no shortcuts ). Company stands behind their installations with a guarantee, that is important. I like that everything start to finish was one price, all listed on estimate before work began. I will continue you use this company for regular service and highly recommend them. They want to earn your repeat business not just make a quick buck off of you. Thank you John Berea,Oh"

"My HVAC replacement was a breeze. I was able to get a same day estimate and was on the schedule and installed by the end of the week. I would highly recommend Matt and his team."

"On the morning of February 8th, 2021, I awoke to a cold house and instantly panicked. My furnace had stopped working and I went through one horrible senario after another - frozen pipes, ruined interior, etc. The outside temperature was in the single digits, and I assumed the inside temperature would soon match it. I Googled furnace repair and the first name on the list was Kobella's. They had the best rating and found out why. Mike T. and his partner Bobby replaced my furnace and got my heat back with a minimum of disruption to my daily life. Mike showed up at 8:30 am on the 8th, carefully examined the furnace, pronounced it DOA with a detailed explanation as to why, and suggested two different models of new furnaces. He managed to get the old furnace running for one more night and left me four space heaters to protect me and the house in case the furnace failed during the night. The next day Mike and Bobby showed up promptly at 8:30 pm and replaced the furnace, installed new duct work, sealed it, installed a new thermostat and showed me how to use it, all in about 5 hours. My house is toasty and I am happy. Thanks Mike and Bobby."

"We got an estimate from a Cleveland company to replace boiler for 1200 lower apartment. ($9600) Wow! Gorjanc was our second opinion since I assumed that as “boiler experts”, they would be much more. They installed for $8,000. Saved us $1,600. The install, of course, is perfect! John Gorjanc, owner, knows his business!!!"

"The salesman was very knowledgeable about the product. I was super impressed with the installers. They were punctual, knew their product, kept everything clean, and were professional. I did experience sticker shock, though. I was surprised that I didn't receive a follow up call from the company after installation. I paid for an extension on my breaker, which I didn't need and wasn't done. I left a message with my salesman and did not receive a call back. I spent a small fortune, and expected better customer service. If I were grading on installation alone, I'd give them an A+. But the lack of a follow up was disappointing."

"The technician arrived promptly, near the beginning of the time window (he actually would have been earlier except for a flat tire).  He reviewed the site and explained the process.  He then went about his work very professionally.  Mr. Sejas took time to show me the condition of our duct work, given that in 26 years in the house we had never had then cleaned.  We had always made sure that the system filters were either cleaned or replaced on a scheduled basis and had, for a number of years in the 90s, used cheesecloth inside the vents to reduce dust, but our system was in pretty bad shape.
The work consist of blowing air through the ducts at 250 psi and capturing/removing the dust particles at the furnace. It is noisy a each vent must be visited, but there is no reason to stay in the same room or even same area of the house as the technician. The dryer vent cleaning I did not observe, but he worked at both ends, at the dryer and the outside vent.
He advised that we run our system fan during the day, changing to auto setting at night, or at least any time there was a lot of activity in the house that would stir up dust.  This allows the air filtration system to do it job and clean the air - something that had never occurred to me. He also recommended repeating the service every 3-4 years  if after checking the intake duct, it appeared as dust was building up again.
The impetus for having the service done was my HVAC company's technician who, while performing routine maintenance, called me down to the basement and showed my the large pile of dust that had formed at the base of the duct system.  He said forget about the dust, it is the excrement of the dust mites that live in it that can cause respiratory discomfort.  He also warned me to make sure about the  company I hired to do the work, hence my checking Angie's List and getting a discounted price. Since Lowe's came in and cleaned the ducts the inside air is noticeably fresher.. ONE piece of advice. If you are going to have your ducts cleaned do it before you change your air filter, not after. Even with the removal of dust by their equipment, the filter was full of dust - and was brand new because of the recent HVAC service. So I paid twice for a filter when I could have paid once.

"Purchased through Costco which uses Weatherking as their local contractor. The Costco purchase involved a little more paper work and payment upfront but saved 10% and was explained upfront and was a smooth transaction. Sales and Techs were all very professional. Sales was clear and provide multiple options and was not pushing the highest price one. Install went smoothly and was started and completed on time. They came back a couple months later to start the AC since the it was too cold during the install and were able to do so quickly after I called to schedule."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Mentor, OH

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.
