"Prior to me selecting Aaceâ s heating air conditioning &swamp cooler, I interview (3) other well know AC/heating company and as most knows the â deceptionâ is real! After the initial consultations with one of the companies ( (name I wonâ t disclose)I was almost in tears about how many of their technicians were out of work and that I would help put food on their table...... I reluctantly agreed and signed the contract. After further thoughts I said to myself â he got me and immediately cancelled!! Aaceâ s heating AC & Swamp cooler they were sooo amazing and I was overjoyed with happiness! Integrity, respect, excellence, and team work they exhibited wellð ð ! I'm very picky and hard too please. I had NO option but to give frank and his team the well deserved compliments they rightfully earned!!!! Without a doubt I would recommend them to my family and friends. I forgot to mention they were very clean and took all the trash away even some of mines ð ð !!!! This review is documented from a real customer and NO one asked/ suggested I write anything. Happy customer ð ð ð !!!!"

"HD Mechanical did an excellent job. After trying to fix my water heater, the tech offered me two solutions, the first to repair the old unit and the second to replace it. I chose to replace the unit because it was 20 years old. He was able to return in two days and spend many hours at my home. The tech was courteous, professional, explained everything and made sure everything was working properly before he left."

"How often do you get a very good price, combined with a
contractor that does exactly what they say they are going to do, and they start
and finish on time? That was my experience with Approved Air Conditioning and Heating
located in Vista, CA. My project was a lot of work and Mike Gentry could have
come up with any number of reasons why it was going to take longer. When I saw
him working routinely from 7:30 AM until 6:30 PM I knew he?d get it done. My
project entailed 2 furnaces, 2 A/C units, 2 electronic air cleaners, and 2 UV
lights?in 2 different locations in the house.
I interviewed 6 different vendors?many of them the big names
in San Diego County. Sales people of these companies would come and recommend
the equipment and you never got to meet the actual folks installing. I?ve
learned from handling numerous contractors in the past that you get better
workmanship from owner\operator contractors providing they have experience and
good client ratings. I always check out their truck?if there is no pride in how
they maintain their own equipment I avoid them. From the beginning it was
apparent Mike Gentry knew what he was talking about and did not try to oversell
me. He also didn?t nickel and dime me with changes?he routed an A/C discharge
line to the outside of my house where I could harvest the condensation water
for irrigation. Furthermore, Mike and his son Nathan cleaned up after
themselves as the work progressed. I felt totally confident leaving them alone
in my home. They also applied for approval as a YGrene Contractor (recommended
over Hero) so I could get a better interest rate. His son Nathan helped me
download the APP?s for control of the Honeywell 9000 thermostats on my I-Pad.
It?s sweet lying in bed in the AM and firing up both furnaces.
I highly recommend this company and I will not hesitate to
use them in the future.

"RKM made this almost a pleasure. We started with a service call to evaluate/fix the old A/C. Richard was on-time, skilled and helpful. RKM phoned to confirm appointments and sent email messages to keep us updated re: arrival times. When new equipment was needed - Robert helped us navigate the choices and design a system that was a more efficient Energy Star rated unit that met our needs at a price we could manage. We didn't need financing but, that was available as a reasonable option. Proposals, invoices and equipment brochures were all sent in detailed & easily understood email messages. Installation of the new system (furnace & A/C) went smoothly as scheduled. The installation team - Jonathan, Brian and Julio - were on-time, friendly and knowledgeable. They took care to protect our homes interior and yard. All of the old equipment was removed and new installed, tested, etc in one day. The new a/c compressor, made by Gorman is QUIET; It's only been 24 hours but, the house is COOL and we can't hear anything in the house or yard."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Norco, CA

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.
