"Danny treated me like an old friend with helpful and timely service. It was refreshing. He inspected the unit, found a failed capacitor caused by an add-on Michael and Sons installed last inspection. Danny replaced the failed part, removed the add-on, and I was back in business in less than 30 minutes. I have a new HVAC provider!"

"It went very well. They did a good job. The cost was over $400. I don't know whether or not that's too high or not. I seldom have plumbers in so I can't say the cost was high, although I was surprised it was $400, but that could be the going rate. He seemed very agreeable and very happy. I needed something and he was happy to get it. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in that regard. As for the quality of their service, so far so good. Everything went okay. It stopped leaking."

"This company was excellent. The water heater replacement / installation deal was very attractive. The company was responsive to questions, quick in their ability to schedule and perform the work. There were no hidden costs. I added on a little extra work, which was done above and beyond my expectations."

"I was impressed by how hard working and thorough the workers were. They hauled the old gas water heater out and got the new one installed promptly and did a neat job. They reconfigured an awkward gas pipe near my washing machine, replaced an exterior gas hose with a UV resistant one, and checked all gas piping including our gas fireplace. We were very pleased with the end result and appreciated the fair pricing. Highly recommend."

"Reddick and Sons replaced our old heat pump system after we started having problems with it. The company is well-run and everything is handled professionally and efficiently. The technicians are very knowledgeable and always answered all our questions. They quickly provided estimates for several different replacement system options covering a range of costs. The cost estimates were quite reasonable and they did not try to convince us to buy a more efficient system that would have been more expensive. While waiting for the installation, they were very helpful in keeping our old system running, coming out a couple of times at no extra cost to address problems that arose. The installation team arrived on schedule and worked carefully and efficiently. All the work was very nicely done. We are very happy with how the whole the process went and with the professionalism of the technicians and the organization. We will have them come back to do regular maintenance checks on the system and would recommend them to anyone needing HVAC service or a new HVAC system."

"I contacted 3 companies and Clover was the only company that contacted me within 24 hours. The set up and service was excellent, Lizzie was wonderful and Jess (installer) was professional, a problem solver and very tidy. It was a lot of work and he did a great, cost $2280. Included the cost of the new heater and removal of the old heater. I would definitely recommend them to others"

"I cannot say enough incredible things about this company. Lucky came out and spent an incredible amount of time with us going over all the options, and ensured we truly understand the differences and the benefits. He came back to complete the installation the next day. Thanks to him our AC is working back immediately. Honestly, we probably wouldn’t have survived this nasty heat during this uncomfortable humidity. You’re a life saver Lucky!! Thanks so much again for you proficient excellence service!"

"McCarthy was one of several contractors I got bids from for replacing my 20 year old system. I knew what features I was looking for and wanted to qualify for rebates and needed the equipment to meet those qualifications. Chris came out and was very professional, listened to me, and sat down and left me with a quote. Most companies left saying they would email me an estimate and never did, even after following up with them requesting a quote. The three choices he left me with all met the requirements I wanted and he made sure to answer my questions. He followed up with me two days later to see if I had any other questions about my quote, he worked with me to make sure I got what I wanted and was patient while I got my other quotes to make my decision. Overall, I never felt pressured to buy and felt that the customer service provided was excellent. Once we decided to go with McCarthy the installation was a breeze and even got done earlier than expected. The crew was professional and kept me informed of what they were doing to make sure that everything was the way I wanted. If they had something to tell me they called me if I was out of the house, I had to take my car into the shop, so was not home for part of the day. I had them install an extra supply and return and the installers made sure it was where I wanted and not going to interfere with the way I used the space. Having the unit installed now for a few days I have to say the house is a lot more comfortable and I am enjoying not having to worry that my unit won't make it through the coldest part of the winter. I would recommend them to anyone else who needs an HVAC replacement."

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