"The replacement of two 16 year old AC units went perfectly. Not only did the job include the removal of two old swamp coolers, but also the repair and restoration to the walls and stucco from the cooler openings. Everyone was extremely professional and explained the job in detail."

"5 stars for Lee’s AC and plumbing! I took a chance in hiring them because of the brilliant presentation of their team sales person RICKY! He not only bent over backwards to convince me that his company was the best choice in providing and installing my new AC unit but continued in overwatch to make sure that the job went exactly as what was promised and that I was completely satisfied which I am. I also want to commend both Caesar and Zach S for their technical efforts in making sure that the project went without a hitch. Along with the AC portion of the project, I was impressed by the plumbing side of their company who fulfilled the membership portion of plumbing tasks which were promised within the free 1 year membership which was included in the cost of the AC project. Due to the diligence of Ricky and the rest of the team, I will surely remain a paid member for years to come after the free one year has lapsed. Thank you Ricky and please thank the rest of the team that made all of this possible! 🙏 Jeff Prince"

"Left a message with the answering service on Friday morning and Chris called back within a minute or two. I explained that one of our air conditioners was out and we needed to go out of town at 3 that afternoon. He said that he could be to the house by noon. He arrived before 11:30. Diagnosed the problem and went off to get the replacement parts. He returned with the parts and fixed the A/C unit and we made it to the airport on time. Thank you Chris!"

"I always have had excellent service and no exception this time.  John typically calls before he arrives to let me know if he is on schedule and the work is done promptly and efficiently.  If there are shortcomings or issues with the system, he has in the past made recommendations for improving the system and saving on utilities, but never pushy about it.  He is good about cleaning up after any work and is professional in his manner and speech. 

I have used his services for several years with no complaints.  In prior years, I used one of the larger firms, but while their work was acceptable, I still get junk mail from them.  No such complaints with Ability AC. "

"I was able to get an appointment at my convenience, and James arrived right on time.  He explained to me what the problem was and stated it might take a day or two to get the part.  He also explained the part would be quite expensive because the replacement had been retooled with metal instead of plastic.  He also showed me that I could use the dishwasher without that part being replaced.  I chose to replace the part.  A short time later, he called to tell me he had found the part locally and could come by the house again right then to replace it.  I liked his honesty and the extra effort he made to get the part and replace it in the same day.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Nellis Afb, NV

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.
