"Had the A/C quit working in my rental property and I was out of town. I contacted PLE and the system was repaired the same day and the repair cost was very reasonable. I would recommend these guys to anyone that needs their heat or A/C fixed and done right the first time."

"Called company and they were able to send someone out that day. Person I spoke with mentioned a $65 fee to diagnose the washer and ~$30 something to diagnose issue with dishwasher. I agreed. Tech came out on time and was able to quickly identify the issue with the washer (shocks needed to be replaced at a cost of $244). He then took a look at the dishwasher and fixed it on the spot within 5 minutes (the dishwasher was falling slightly out when you pulled out rack and he just had to raise the feet of the dishwasher). He said the cost to repair the dishwasher was $65 because there were no parts used. I thought I should be charged the ~$30 something fee. But he explained that was the policy so I reluctantly paid. 
The part for the washer was to take a few days and they were able to fix the washer once the part came in. Overall, I was pleased that they were able to fix the problems promptly and the tech was friendly and knowledgeable, but thought I should not have been charged so much for fixing the dishwasher, especially after I was told the service charge was $30 something for the second appliance they were to diagnose.

"Comfortable Climate did a great of of install our new unit. They were professional and cleaned up everyday of the install. I am very happy with it still even after a year or having the new system. We saved $250 on our electric bill because we had a more efficient unit installed."

"Pleased with service and equipment installed. Arrived a little late first day, weather halted work late that afternoon, so they had to come back and worked a full second day. So, it took a little longer than planned, but all good in the end. Obtained quotes from two other businesses for comparable equipment/installation; Rose Bros. quoted best price."

"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.

"100% satisfied!! I called to make an appointment to replace ducting insulation and spoke with a wonderful receptionist who made me an appointment with Alex the same day. He gave me three estimates to choose the level of work we wanted. We decided to replace all existing trunks, lines and insulation with the addition of a crawl space encapsulation. When I signed the contract he promised the encapsulation would start the next morning, but the ducting would have to be performed after the holiday. To our joy, the crew showed up three days in a row (including Saturday) and knocked out all of the work! The home is cooler and the air quality has vastly improved since everything is clean and new. I highly recommend this company! We are so pleased! Thank you!!!!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Newport News, VA

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.
