"I love this company! They did a fantastic job 6 years ago when they installed a new AC unit for us. They've provided us excellent service ever since. Last week we finally decided to replace the furnace, too. They gave us the quote on Wednesday afternoon, and they were here bright and early Friday morning to start the work. I strongly believe that these are honest and fair people. I'm not at all surprised to see that they've received stellar ratings from others. The best part of all is that they fixed my daughter's above garage/east facing bedroom cooling problem. Before the work, her room was like a frying pan during summer mornings. Bradham Brothers took care of that problem like it was nothing, and they did it for a very reasonable price. This is life altering stuff!"

"Garrett arrived on time and was attentive to resolving our issues with getting two toilets refurbished/replaced that were damaged by Lowes installation services technicians. He also evaluated the installation of the toilet that was installed. We have not had any work done yet. I will update after we have received the estimates and the projects have been completed."

"Rick and his crew did a wonderful job on something that is a big mess. One of the main reasons I choose Rick was because of his responsiveness to my questions after he provided a quote. That didn't changed after I hired him which was a pleasant surprise. During the process, his crew worked on some interior projects as well and they again did a fantastic job. I would hire Rick McCoy again for large or small projects."

"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 had carpet replaced in three bedrooms and hallway. From start to finish, sales to installation, everything went without a hitch. The sales manager helped us pick just the right flooring and the installation team did an excellent job. The floors are just beautiful and everyone was very professional and a pleasure to work with."

"I cannot say enough good things about them. They are the only ones authorized in this area to put an aresol inside the air vents. It seals little air  leaks in your vents. It also gives protection against future mold, that kind of thing. Signature Exteriors referred me to them. They did their job exactly the way they were supposed to. They were aware. I have dogs and they were aware, don't just open the front door, the dog might get out. They were here long enough that I couldn't just lock the dogs out. You've got these big fans and blowers and all that. They took such care with my house. It's big major equipment that can only be so dainty with it. They did their best.
We still have one more piece to do. The first thing they do is they clean all of your vents. That is included in the price to putting the aresol treatment in. The aresol treatment, there's a computer to tell it what it's doing and when it's done. Getting it set up is the biggest part of the job. It takes about 2 hours to clean up all the vents and that kind of thing. The computer comes on and says, yes you have things in good shape or no you still have a gap somewhere. Well, they came last week and on the downstairs the computer kept saying you've got a gap and the man the came up to me and said, Ma'am it says that you have a 27 square inch hole somewhere in all your venting. I said, oh my gosh, let me just pay you. You spent half a day and you didn't get to do your job but that's on me not on you and he said, no, ma'am, we're going to find the hole. Well, again, all this is closed up. They start taking out the vents, using their flashlights and using their cell phones to photograph all throughout the venting of the downstairs of my house until they find a phantom vent. When the house was built 31 years ago, they closed off where a vent was supposed to go. I have been heating and cooling the gap where the downstairs ceiling and the upstairs floor, I don't know how many square feet that is, we've been heating and cooling this for 30 years. So, they said, here, let us email you the photos and let us talk to our boss. We know that we don't do this kind of thing but somebody needs to take care of this. I said that I wanted to pay them and he said there is no way we are going to charge you to get nothing done. He said, you let you know when the vent is replaced and I'll send the guys out and they'll finish the job they came to do."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Monroe, NC

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.
