"Please note: Joey installed a full system: HVAC. I'm an older guy so I can (almost) get away with writing this review a year later. Here's what I have to say about PMGâ especially Joey Azevedo. Our story starts off with a tragic twist of homeowner dread: our roof, gutters, water heater, and HVAC died around the same time. More fun than wearing underwear soaked with ticks! Outside of having to refinance our home to cover all of this work, and getting the roofer, the baker, and the candlestick maker all together to handle the various pieces of our sh!# pie, my wife and I didn't know where to turn for help with our HVAC system. It was installed around 1993. Not good. Let me preface this story by saying my wife and I have family in the HVAC businessâ but they all reside on the other side of the country. They gave us advice but it was PMG & Joey who got us off the ground. FAST! Through Joey, we purchased and installed: A HVAC system from York, A whole house fan made by QuiteCool, and exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen. Let me list all the ways Joey made our lives easier: * He was cordial, friendly, and attentive to every one of our needs. * He coordinated with our roofers so that everything was properly installed. * He worked with our plumber to ensure everything was to code and connected to the plumber's water lines. * He worked with our difficult city inspectors (four visits total for just the HVAC). * He also got a HVAC inspector to certify everything was up to code. For most any issue outside of our HVAC setup, Joey recommended a number of companies and/or individuals to suit our needs. Please understand, he didn't give us his "friends" informationâ he actually gave us at least three contractors/companies to choose from and get quotes. All of them were professionals and held appropriate contractor licenses. The man even set up a weather vane on our roof for my wife! The man is a jack of all trades. And knowledgeable about most anything related to home repair and improvements. If you've paid attention to any of the reviews about PMG and Joey, you'd realize our story is just another happy voice in the chorus. I'm really glad we came across PMG. We're extremely satisfied with everything he did."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Middleton, ID

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.
