"We recently had our HVAC system replaced by CoolRay Heating and Air and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. Mike Ritchey, our sales representative, conducted a thorough evaluation of our existing system and clearly presented several replacement options tailored to our needs. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and worked diligently to provide a competitive and fair price. The installation was led by Rollin Tappin, who, along with his team, demonstrated professionalism and care throughout the process. They completed the work safely, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. The new system is functioning perfectly, and we greatly appreciate the high level of service delivered by both Mike and Rollin. We would confidently recommend CoolRay Heating and Air to anyone in need of HVAC services."

"Robby and his crew were amazing. We are remodeling a 1930's bungalow and it needed a complete new HVAC system, ductwork and all. I talked with at least 5 HVAC companies and found Robby to be the most honest and helpful of all of them. I couldn't be more pleased and would not hesitate to recommend R Wiley to anyone that needs service or replacement."

"Estes has been providing my service for approximately 10 years. Always prompt, courteous and very accommodating. They recently (June 2019) replaced my hot water heater and installed new HVAC system. An awesome crew performed the installation and was very thorough in explaining all of the new components to me. Also the gentleman who came to my home when the unit needed replacing was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and insured that all of my questions and concerns were addressed before he left."

"There was very little work to do. They came out on time and I was happy for the professionalism, but there was nothing to do because it's a brand new system. The service is free for a year. I could have had them come out in April to check the air conditioning system, but since they just installed the unit in April, I didn't bother, but it would have been free. This fall, when I called him to check the furnace, he thought he was coming out to check the air conditioning, I said, "no, you're here to check the furnace because I'm going to be using the heat this fall". He said, "no problem" and he checked that out, he said, "I feel like I'm not doing anything, I can still check the air conditioner", and I said, "if you want to, but I've been running it all summer and it's been great". I asked him there was a charge and he said, "no, the first year was free"."

"I’ve been using “ANYTIME” heating and cooling for over two years, and the customer service is top-notch, the service technicians first class, and the office staff along with managers are all about servicing the customer not just on “price,” but seeing the Job through until completion. Moreover, I’m a stickler for details and cleanliness and “ANYTIME” along with all of their staff whether entering your home for the first time “ANYTIME’S” service men have their shoes covered, work systematically done as to NOT scratch floors or damage your personal property. Every year they come out to my home to service 5 units as my home is over 9,000 square so keeping costs down is important and having proper heating and cooling for my most precious possessions is my family…they are number one in my book, and so is “ANYTIME” heating and cooling. They have the best price, the best service, and some of the latest and most advanced technology in the business to help families save money without compromising staying warm or keeping cool in the hot Georgia summers. I give “ANYTIME” heating and cooling a 5 STAR RATING ALL AROUND! Thank you, “ANYTIME” heating and cooling my family and myself appreciate all that you do. Rob K. Alpharetta Ga."

"Andy, the certified plumber from Henson Mechanical HVAC & plumbing, was very punctual. I was told to expect a plumber between 8 am until noon, and Andy came at 9:30 am. He was very friendly and got right to work installing a new 40 gallon water heater. The job only took him about two hours. After he completed the work, he showed me how to re-light the pilot light if it ever goes out and explained what he replaced. He also, free of charge, helped me remove an old cartridge from the shower in my master bathroom since my shower had been dripping. I had already bought the new cartridge at a big box store, and he was happy to install it for me. There were no other "catches" to the deal for the new water heater I bought through Angie's List, for which I was very glad. I would highly recommend Henson Mechanical HVAC & Plumbing and would call them again for any plumbing needs.

"First of all, he is totally trustworthy.  My husband and I work full time so he did a lot of the work when we were not home. He does so much more than than a regular tile person does.  He made a suggestion to paint the vanity and put new knobs on instead of replacing it.  We painted it Smoky Brown to match the trim and it looks terrific.  Even the small suggestions that he made, such as putting in wood trim where the builder had put in cheap tile made a difference.   The small details took a very plain bathroom from blah to beautiful! You cannot go wrong with Fil.  He shows up when he says he will and he and his team work until the job is done! Next we are going to have him remodel our master bathroom.

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Nelson, GA

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.
