"Chris was very profesional, punctual and kind when he repaired my dryer, he even had the part right in his truck. I also asked him to fix my dishwasher, so he came back with a new part he ordered. After an hour and a half Chris realized he wasn't going to be able to fix it properly and suggested to buy a new one instead, gave me tips about brands to look for and stores where delivery and installation are free. Chris did not charge me for his time or for a service call! He is honest and reliable and I recommend A Blueline Appliance Repair 100%."

"Great job! Greg & Elsa from Bristol Enterprises installed two mini-split units in our Class A motorhome a few years ago and the inside temps have been perfect ever since! Greg had excellent communication, was always on time, and most importantly was exceedingly competent. They know what they’re doing and are efficient about getting it done. They were also very honest and transparent about costs. Would definitely use them again! ????"

Pro Team's man did an outstanding & professional job of cleaning the gutters on both the house and garage: fast; courteous & friendly; very thorough (even cleaned the screen of rainbarrel that gutter drains into); and left absolutely no debris on the grounds below gutters. Pro Team's office staff was easy to work with through the phone and emails, and its prices very reasonable. Highly recommend!"

"I called Home Fixers because I had a problem with an exterior outlet and a running toilet. They were able to fix both problems and it cost a lot less than if I had called an electrician and a plumber to fix them. They showed up on time and did a great job."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Montgomery, IL

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.
