"Jonathan and his guys did excellent work for me in replacing my boiler. I had submitted several bids to different contractors and Jonathan gave me the best price. The guys that came to my house to install my new boiler and replace my old boiler were very professional and clean. I had two problems (a water leak and cold room) since the boiler was installed. I called Jonathan recently and he sent his guy right over and fixed both problems. I highly recommend his company. I would definitely use them again."

"From the initial proposal and questions with Kevin to the installation with Mike and Milt, the professionalism and knowledge sharing was remarkable. To have the owner, Kevin, involved was a key influence in decision, as was our neighbors high positive regard for Ryan & Co. The installation was efficient. Mike and Milt were so organized and kept things neat and clean. They paid attention to detail and fixed the ancillary to the main system where needed. High quality all around. The system is in and can’t wait to see how it works, especially through the tricky up and down temps of the fall season. Farewell to the 35 yr old system."

I found WeatherBusters here on Angie?s List and read many positive reviews?that?s why I called them. I want to add another positive review.

My central AC died with the first NJ heat wave in the start of June. WeatherBusters diagnosed the problem, and it was a potentially big one. Not only did my compressor have a refrigerant leak somewhere, but the very old components in the attic were looking quite bad. The service manager took photos.

He gave me two options: one being to locate/repair the leak in the compressor and recharge with refrigerant, and the other to replace both the compressor and air handler in the attic. I opted for the latter; after seeing the photos I didn?t want to start chasing more problems in the future.

I had to wait a while because they were very busy, but it was worth it. Two repairmen came out early in the morning and worked the full day. Professionals, good guys, upbeat and thorough; they put down tarp to keep things clean and answered any question, anytime. WeatherBusters uses top-notch components, too?York and Aprilaire. They also insulated parts in the attic that had not been insulated with the old unit, gave me a much better filter system, a new digital thermostat and a replacement intake grill for the ceiling, too.

The new system is much better than what I?d been used to. Quieter, more efficient, and I can get my temps down low?sweet comfort inside even during the intense July 15-20 heat wave with outside temps in the very high 90s and high humidity. Love it.

10-year parts and 2-year labor warranties. Also, as a WeatherBusters customer I will now get 2 years of free maintenance plus
discounts on future services?like a new furnace or water heater when I need one.

Angie?s List was such a relief for choosing the right company. WeatherBusters is a solid business backed by solid guarantees. Don?t hesitate to call them.

"I contacted Temp Control about our issue and they responded and made an appoint to come that following morning. Shai came to our house and found that our issue was a clogged filter. He replaced the filter and the issue was resolved instantly. I would definitely recommend Temp Control for your ac/heating/plumbing needs. Very professional and courteous. Thank you again!"

"Heater was making a knocking sound and of course it was the holiday season. Braido came out right away and found a fan part needed replacement. The parts vendor was closed but they came out the next available day and had everything running smooth."

"I am very happy with Mikes Air Conditioning. Here it is JULY and I while in the middle of doing some renovations to my home, I noticed the AC wasn't working the way it should be. I contacted Mike's (fearing the worst) and they sent out a service technician who was able to repair the system for a reasonable cost and buy me some more time before I have to replace the entire system. I had some minor work completed and the freon topped off and now I'm cool and comfy!  Considering all of the expenses with renovating I was very happy to not have a high repair bill. Mikes was efficient, conscientious and professional and they completed the job on time and for a reasonable cost. I recommend them for AC repair as well as installation of new units. When I'm able to replace my system, I'll be calling Mikes Air Conditioning to do the job. Building relationships and getting repeat business should be the goal of any business. I'm glad to see that Mike's takes customer service seriously.

"Great. Greg was very personable and explained all our options on installing a new central air or air/heating unit. Current a/c is due for replacement but Greg found a circuit tripped which took care of the issue for now. Will definitely call Jones for an estimate when we replace the entire system this year or in the spring."

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

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.
