"Contacted Hope Plumbing on a Monday morning and they were able to provide the estimate and installation the same day. Ryan was friendly and professional. Our water heater was under warranty so he was able to pick up a replacement using the authorization code from the water heater company. GmWe are glad to have hot water again!"

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"We have a service agreement with them. We like them and that's why we went ahead and got a service contract with them. They do the heating, cooling and the water heater. They come out 3 times a year. It's either $159 or $179 a year, somewhere in there."

"My realtor, the woman who is helping my sell my house, recommended Kevin Petree as an excellent plumber and recommended that he be called for an estimate in connection with my perceived plumbing problem. I did in fact call him and he and his brother arrived prepared for anything; it appears that only a few minor adjustments were required."

"This spring the rain was no friend to outside construction, however, America's Best Patio Rooms were able to start the project the end of June. The original size of our screened in porch was 12' x 10' which was too small so we wanted it extended by six feet to 12' x 16'. Initially we thought we'd do a three season room but after getting four estimates and deciding that we really didn't want to spend that amount at this time we kept it as a screened in porch. Because of the crumbling concrete, we had to have about five feet of the original pad removed and about eleven feet of new concrete poured. I wasn't totally pleased with the concrete work since, while the new concrete is level, the original pad had a slight decline away from the house, meaning that there is a slight valley where the two meet. This was very evident when it rained buckets while the roof was still 10' and the pad was uncovered; a lot of water collected at the valley. However, now that the roof is extended and the supports and screening in place, this, hopefully, will no longer be an issue (so far it hasn't and there have been heavy rains). While the project went slower than I would have liked (rain didn't help) in the end, the finished product is flawless. America's Best Patios uses white vinyl casing to cover the support beams and white aluminum to hold the screening which provides a very clean, flawless appearance to the porch, especially when compared to the rough cedar that was part of the previous porch. When the crew completed the porch, the appearance is clean and crisp, the screens are tight (something I really appreciate), and its a pleasure to once again use our porch. A couple things worth noting: 1) Austin, the boss, takes pride in what he does and always answered my questions in detail; 2) they hooked up an outside light even though the contract stated it was the responsibility of the homeowner; 3) painters creased two of the screens the day after the porch was completed but the crew came back and fixed them with no charge to me; and 4) the crew that did our screened in porch paid attention to the details and kept me informed as to the schedule and progress. I also need to mention that I was not enamored with the concrete work that was done; when it was completed the finish was like walking on broken shards of glass meaning that shoes had to be worn and we are definitely bare-foot people in the summer on the porch. Since I didn't want to deal with the concrete person (he had missed three appointments with me previously) I just used a belt sander with ultra coarse sandpaper and took care of it myself. So, the screened in porch is fantastic and since I sanded the concrete smooth we can walk on it without shoes. If using America's Best, you might want to discuss the concrete and the finish before signing a contract. And while I wasn't satisfied with the concrete work, the rest was top notch, so I gave them an "A" rating (wish they had a separate rating for the concrete work!) or a chance to rate them "A-"."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Middletown, IN

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.
