"Arrived at 9:30 am. Installation went smoothly. They took away the old system. Very happy with the new Carrier system. They showed me how to program the digital thermostat. I was without AC for a week because my old AC's condenser coil had a leak in the aluminum part. My condenser was mismatched with my air handler/evaporator so the whole system needed to be replaced. These guys did a great job and cleaned up the work debris after."

I contacted this company to get estimates for three different projects. We had met with two other professionals who had recommended that our A/C unit was replaced immediately. Weathershield gave us other options. They sent two guys to make an assessment and it turn out to be one the best experiences during my home remodeling project.

John and his partner completed a through assessment of my A/C unit and made recommendations based on what I was requesting. With his assessment and recommendations we were able to save money and still get work done. He explained to us that although our unit was dated it did not need immediate replacement. He recommended that we clean coils and gave us different options for the new vent. He sent additional information via email on AC units including an estimate for a new unit and  our very much needed ceiling insulation.

We decided to hire this company based on our experience with the John and the information he shared with us. Their prices were very reasonable prices when comparing them to the other two companies. They sent Jose and his partner for the new vent and they did a great job. The work was neatly done and the room cools like a the rest of the house. John came to clean our coils. He removed the entire unit and cleaned everything to perfection. Our A/C unit is working fine.

I highly recommend this company based on my experience with the quality of the work performed and most importantly their honesty. From their customer service staff to their technicians this company deserves an A. 

Once we complete some electrical work in the house, we will hire them for the installation of the ceiling insulation.

"Very happy with the service. Extremely knowledgeable crew, explained what they were doing in detail. It's been a few months and couldn't be happier. They removed our tank water heater and replaced it with a tankless outside. No other vendor told me they could put the water heater outside. A HUGE space saver."

"Ruiz & Son Electrical Corp did an outstanding job. Angel and his crew were here on time and ready to work. They worked hard all day, rewiring our electrical panel and replacing our water heater with a tankless system. Their workers were professional and knowledgeable. They ensured we understood everything about our installation from start to finish. I would hire Angel and his crew again for any electrical need I have in the house. Truly an outstanding job."

"Steve replaced the fan motor on the compressor. He waited until the unit stopped blowing cold to ensure a proper diagnosis. He was professional, courteous, on-time and knowledgeable. The price - with Angie's discount - was more than fair. No more hot nights to sleep in. This is the company to use!"

"I found this company had high ratings so we contacted them for an estimate to replace our non-function air conditioner. They were the cheapest estimate out of three others we got. The installation went great and was completed in less than four hours. I love our new thermostat that they installed because I can use it with my Iphone which helps while my wife and I are at work. Overall, very please with the service we recieved from this company. I will use them again in the future."

"Fairway Cleaning showed up with their company van at the scheduled time of my appointment.  Jack & Deivis (the Technicians) greeted me at the front door.  They were very professional, wearing company logo polo shirts.  They were very responsive to my needs telling me what they were going to do.  The job took about a half hour to perform.  They showed me what they pulled out of the vent and said this is why my dryer was not drying very well.  They cleaned up everything & pushed the dryer back in its place before leaving.
I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them for any cleaning needs you may have.

"The work went great. Aside from arriving a little after we were told the work went smoothly. Darnell was very informative in everything that was needed. They even went as far as adding refrigerant at no extra cost. I have a hard time communicating sometimes and the communication breakdown caused me some issue in properly communicating some of the items that needed clarification. This was my fault. In any case I would hire them again. They did a great job."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Miami, FL

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.
