"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"The salesman who initially came to our home to assess the situation was very knowledgeable and had some good suggestions.  We opted for the heat pump despite the cost as it would also cool the area in the summer time.  The installation went very well and we have been very happy with the end result.  I would not hesitate to call this company for future work.

"The service was fantastic. These guys are the best. They were very thorough and gave good suggestions on how to improve the efficiency. They sealed things up and caulked and put in weather stripping. This particular crew has an inspector that checks the work. The inspector said I really enjoy checking this companies work as he said they are very efficient and they do great work. They were very nice and knowledgeable to work with. This was part of a program in Connecticut where they will replace up to 40 light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs. They will change out light fixtures with LED lights and the cost was far better than I could have gotten myself. They run a test before the work is started and then they do a test afterwards to show how much more efficient your home is. They give a report showing how efficient your home is and making other suggestions. They also give you discounts on making your home more efficient within a certain amount of time from the report."

"Suard was, in a word, fabulous! He and his colleague spent seven hours cleaning our air ducts and dryer vent. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable. Throughout the day, he provided updates on the progress, including images, and was happy to answer any questions we had along the way. I highly recommend his service and will be contacting him in the future!"

I can't say enough about the owners, office staff, or employees who performed the work.

Always on time, polite, helpful, flexible and professional. They answer the phone when you call and return calls promptly when needed. The workers were in and out in 2 days and left the outside of the house clean of debris.

I cannot say enough good things about this company

"The service technician Leigh Voytek cleaned and inspected our furnace. He was very personable and on time.  He cleaned up and didn't leave a spec of dirt behind. This is the second year in a row that I have used Petro Home Services. I also signed a Gold standard service contract which in my estimate covers 95% of all parts and labor for my furnace. The cleaning was performed under contract. Last year I had a small flood in my garage where the furnace is located and the valve for the expansion tank sprung a leak. It was a Sunday morning about 10am. I called Petro and they had someone here within 30 minutes. Once again the tech was great and installed a new expansion tank and I didn't pay a dime for parts, repair or labor because of the contract. Nor did I have to pay any premium for a Sunday emergency call. I was extremely satisfied with all work done.  If I didn't have the contract the cost would have been about 500 bucks. The cost of the service contract was 200. So it paid for itself. The price of their oil is also competitive with the rest of the market. I locked in at $2.25 as of 10/12/15 with a cap of 2.99. If the price is lower than 2.25 at the time of my next delivery the that's what I pay. If it goes above 2.99 it stops there. Overall I am completely satisfied with all aspects of their work and service.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in New Milford, CT

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.
