"Great company to work with. They came out on time and gave me a quote to replace my old fireplace. The guys installed a beautiful fireplace with a blower to help keep my home warm. They also replaced my old mantel with a new one that I picked out. Would use these guys again in the future."

"Mike was tremendous. Our Rheem water heater gave out and needed to be replaced. But Mike saw that the water heater was still under warranty by Rheem. Mike made a phone call on our behalf to Rheem, got us a replacement heater for free, then just charged us for installation and warranty."

"It was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Thought I needed something more and Jerik walked me through the ins and outs of water softeners and helped educate me! Very kind and professional! He told me the pros and cons of the water heaters and helped me make a decision based on my living situation! Will definitely be calling them for future plumbing!"

"Expert Plumbing arrived on time. The tech was courteous and kept me informed about the job at hand as he worked. Chandler S. noticed the other (still functioning) shut-off valve was just as corroded and replaced as well at no cost! He did a great job installing the faucet, and went the extra mile working around an pre-existing installation issue. Chandler S. offered a heads up on a toilet issue we weren't aware of and answered our many questions then, and throughout the job. We were able to use a coupon with them, which was accepted with no problem at all. I would definitely recommend this company, and especially the plumbing tech, Chandler S.. I plan on using them again."

I am very pleased with Larkin. When I first called, I explained that I had another company look at my system, and their technician was recommending that full replacement was the best option. I was hoping to repair my air conditioner rather than full replacement at this time. Ryan, the owner, answered the phone and recommended that I make sure that there was a new furnace filter before sending someone out to see if this solved the problem. I realized that the first company didn't even check the furnace filter. I replaced it but was still having a problem so I called Larkin's back to schedule an appointment.

The technician arrived and checked my system. He pulled out the blower motor and realized that it was really dirty. He then checked the coils in the furnace, and they were also dirty. He suggested that this could be impacting the air flow, and it would be an option to clean these and see if it solved the problem. He was honest, and let me know that the furnace is probably toward the outside of its service life, but worth trying to solve the problem.

He spent several hours cleaning the fan and the coils. So far my air conditioner is functioning again. I appreciate that the Larkin technician was willing to take the time to trouble shoot the problem.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Ogden, UT

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.
