"I called for service and appointment was for the next day. Service person showed up on time. The problem was found (bad micro switch) and a zone valve motor/actuator was replaced. The whole process was completed in 30 minutes. They give senior citizens a discount. Yea! I would use them again for other problems or maintenance."

"Last year on our way up to our annual 4th of July trip to the Chippewa Flowage, my sister who was house sitting for us called and said the air conditioning was out. I pulled over at the Menard's in Wausau to get a battery for the boat and googled heating and air-conditioning repair in Milwaukee. I called a big name Co. first who wanted me to commit to a $295 house call so I called A-1 and Mike said he could get there by the end of the day to take a look for $95. A couple hours later he called back and said it was the control panel. He could get a new one and replace for about $300 or so or I could get one on Amazon and replace myself for about $100. Long story short, I convinced my sister to turn on all the fans and gut it out until I got back the following weekend. I ordered a new panel on Amazon and was there when I got home. I had a few questions as I was replacing it and Mike could not have been more helpful in guiding me through it. 45 min. later we had cold air and the wife and cats and dogs could not have been happier. Total cost was $107 for the new panel and $95 for the house call and diagnosing the problem on a Saturday evening. Could not have made a better decision than to call A-1. Thanks again Mike. Fast-forward to 2 weeks ago. I woke up on a Saturday morning to my air running all night and would not get below 77 deg. I called Mike and told him the fan outside was running but not cooling the house. He said he had some calls lined up already but would try getting there later in the afternoon. He showed up around 3 or so and diagnosed the problem as a bad capacitor. He didn't have any dual capacitors with him but had a few more calls to take care of and thought he could get a hold of one and promised to still have it fixed the same day. At around 7 that night it was about 83 in the house and Mike showed up with the capacitor and had it fixed within a half hour. Total cost $120 for 2 trips on a Saturday including parts and labor. If you need any big ticket items or small repairs done, you CANNOT go wrong by calling these guys. My house is about 20 yrs. old and pretty sure the air and furnace will need replacing in the near future. As I learned from these 2 experiences you can't go wrong with A-1 and I guarantee I'll be calling them when replacements are needed. Thanks again Mike for your help. Tony"

"They were on time. Price was originally quoted. When notified they missed the air intake in one of the rooms they came out immediately to correct the problem. Would not hesitate using them again or recommending them to others."

"We are very please with the job done.
Horizon came to us on a recommendation from a friend in the Real Estate Business.
Even though we read a terrible F rated Angie's List review on Horizon we selected Horizon based on our friends advice because he had never led us astray before. We are glad we did.
Do you know how it is when you take your car to a mechanic to fix a certain and quot;thingand quot; that is happening and then can't recreate that and quot;thing.and quot; After the job was completed and Al, the electrician was taking us on an inspection tour, we turned on our second dehumidifyer on the other end of the basement only to have the circuit breaker pop---not the one just installed. After reset and turning off the dehumidifyer, the basement light brightned so we think we have finally hit and quot;paydirtand quot; in figuring out what is going on here. We were delighted that a certified electrician got to see this.
He explained that both of our dehumidifyers draw 7.5amps and the circuits are only 15amp so with a few light bulbs burning it can overload when the dehumidifyer kicks on. We will probably have him back to do another dedicated circuit, however, we will first check to see if we can purchase a dehumidifyer that does not pull so many amps. Maybe we are on to something here regarding lowering our electric bill and overfilling the landfill with old dehumidifyers (yes, I have a thing about that)

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Okauchee, WI

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.
