"Our repairman Jonathan came out, quickly determined what the problem was and replaced a part which was still under warranty. Very helpful staff and would definitely call Madd Air again in the future for any repairs."

"Excellent service from John Moore! This review goes across the board to capture all those involved from the initial call for service to the final step of installation/replacement. We’ve used John Moore Services for several things in the past three months and once again they did not disappoint. Great customer service, pricing, speed and efficiency in installation! Highly recommend!!"

"Our AC couldn't keep up with the upper 90s. Discovered our the 29 year old condenser coil was leaking. Given that the system was using R22 refrigerant, which will no longer be produced after 2020, we decided to heed the recommendation of the technician and replace the entire HVAC system. We called a few different vendors in to compare quotes and have them provide a project scope. The Woodlands Heating and Air Conditioning provided a reasonable price for a project scope that was equivalent to the other vendors. More importantly, the technician who scoped out the project also was able to get the existing system working well enough to get us through until the install date. The install team arrived as expected and immediately got to work. The old system was hauled out and the new system was installed. The did a great job of cleaning up the mess that was the old system--both the compressor area outside and and furnace/condenser in the attic look much better. They cleaned up, packed everything up, made sure I knew how to operate the new fancy thermostat and headed out by 3pm. Even better, they followed up with a visit the following day to adjust dampers after we had the chance to see which rooms need more/less cooling. It's been a long while since I worked with an HVAC company that I felt I could trust. It was refreshing to work with Brian and Omar. I'll be looking forward to their visit in the fall to inspect the system and make sure it's ready for the cooler Houston months."

"I depend on Evolution Services. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt. They have repaired my washer, cleaned the dryer vent (we do this annually), and they installed a built in double oven, gas cooktop, microwave, and 3 new dishwashers. I have used them at two different homes. They even helped find me a great deal in a replacement when my dishwasher died 18 months out of warranty. I HIGHLY recommend!"

I have a 2002 Camaro that's still in great condition thanks to Colony One --I've been a repeat customer for several years - as has my mom and her Toyota.  The technicians are courteous, skilled, helpful and honest -- if I hear a noise and they can't find a problem, they don't try to make up a problem that would require an expensive repair.

They have a courtesy vehicle that takes me home and comes to retrieve me when repairs are done, so I don't have to find my own ride or hang around all day -- very helpful.

As a 69 year-old 'little old lady,' I find it comforting and reassuring to deal with a business that treats me fairly and with respect. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs car work done --

"I originally asked Stacey for a quote last March, when I had to have some pipework done under the house and I thought I might be able to roll them in together and save some money. That didn't work out, so I had to put off the renovation. I recently had a hip replaced and am about to have the other replaced and it's very difficult to manage showers with the old setup. I decided to ask Stacey if he was available although it was very short notice. (I think he fit me in within less than three weeks.) Stacey's quote was $7500 and he stayed with this same price although six months had passed. The price included demo, providing and installing hardie board, laying the shower floor, building the shower frame, building a chair-height bench, providing and installing a new toilet and vanity, providing and installing a new light/fan/heat combination, installing miscellaneous bathroom hardware (that I provided - towel rack and toilet paper holder), installing a large mirror (that I provided) to replace the medicine cabinet, providing and installing new floor tile, new shower floor and wall tile including an accent tile, providing and installing new shower fixtures, providing and installed a new glass shower door, providing paint and painting everything that wasn't tiled including the linen closet. (I think that's everything!) The work took just shy of seven days. In everything, Stacey went above and beyond. (I was surprised that he worked with the crew and worked very hard.) Most of all, he managed my expectations very well. I was concerned about the shower door because the only kind I could remember seeing were the frameless, hinged style, and the sliding door he chose had a frame at the top and bottom (not in the middle). At first I really wanted those entirely frameless doors, but thank God he talked me down. In such a small bathroom, they would have been a nightmare. The towel rack that I ordered from that big online retailer arrived with the end open, and Stacey discovered that one of the screws was missing (and the hole stripped), so I'm guessing this item had actually been returned and then re-sent to me. Stacey did a workaround and it looks beautiful. He also was very helpful in guiding me with choices. There are so many choices out there in tiles and paint colors and EVERYTHING that I nearly shut down just trying to pick out accent tile. He provided paint cards so I could choose colors. Finally, he knew I had some blinds in my front window that I had installed improperly and now (recovering from the surgery) am not able to fix myself. He installed these for me as well! I just really couldn't be happier with the work. I highly recommend Calahan Construction. FYI, I asked Stacey if he does floor tile for the rest of the house (he does) and I am looking forward to working with him again on this project in the coming months."

"They first brought in and attempted to install the wrong (lower level) model but the job boss caught it and they brought in the correct one. Then they couldn't get the thermostat to work but came back the next day and got it working. The next week the thermostat read 3 degrees higher than the set temp, next day it was a 4 degree difference, next day the screen went blank. They came out within an hour and fixed it but didn't seem to know what was wrong. Seems like the problem is with the American Standard product though. Cuccos was quick to fix the problems and very polite and clean. But also, the Angie's List page says they give a 10% discount to seniors and I didn't get that - when I asked, instead the owner offered 5 years free maintenance."

"Our Samsung fridge was not cooling, so called to get repair help. After checking the box on Angi, Ram called us immediately; others did not. We waited awhile for them to call; then we decided that Ram was the more efficient service, & we called him back. Ray came to our home within an hour! We are verrry pleased with his work & the quick, efficient repair he did. Ray is a true Pro, & gave us a fair price also. We will definitely use Ram’s services again if needed. Thank you Ray!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in North-houston, TX

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.
