"We had an issue with our duct work and dampers and it was causing high humidity levels in our home and causing our new ac unit to run inefficient. We had 3 other companies come over and giving us high quotes telling us to replace our 2 year old unit. Matthew Roberts came and assessed the problem correctly and fixed the issue at a reasonable price and we are extremely happy with their work. Michael and Brandon were our technicians and they were amazing. They made sure all our questions were answered and didn't leave until everything worked properly. I would highly recommend this company. They are honest and knowledgeable."

"Iron Air was on a list I compiled researching dryer vent cleaning, after a big problem using the dryer at my son's new home. He called back quickly after I made my "feeler" calls to those on my list, asked appropriate questions and could do the service soon. His quote was half or less than the other companies that responded, so I set it up. My son's property had been a rental for years and poorly maintained. The dryer kept stopping and took forever to dry a load, so we thought it was the appliance and got another. The new one worked but the heat inside the laundry room became unbearable very quickly, and was like a sauna. Truly, rivers of moisture were running down the walls. It was a hall type laundry area with a door to the garage on one side and a door into the kitchen on the other. I opened the garage door to vent the moisture and resolved never to use that dryer again until I figured out what was wrong. I'd never had dryer vent cleaning done professionally, just bought a long brush and stuck it up there and swished it around off an on, but it seemed time to give it a try. Joe at Iron Air sent Carl. He was on time, cheerful and friendly, listened to what had happened, and went right to work. He brought all the materials and supplies necessary. Some servicemen don't appreciate an audience, but he didn't seem to mind that my husband and I pulled up lawn chairs and watched. Children of depression era parents, we are careful with expenditures, and wary...and wanted to be sure we got our money's worth. Carl must have mountain goat in his genes somewhere because it was like watching Circe de Soulet as he maneuvered the tight spaces, moving things as necessary, working from all angles, both inside and up on the roof from the vent up there. This man could teach roofers a thing or two and I thought they were sure- footed. Each time I thought he was done, he'd say I want to give it one more brushing and go up on the roof and check again. Just as suspected, that vent was packed and matted solid from bottom to top and I was glad I decided to spend for the cleaning. Carl did a great job, without scratching appliance, walls, or floor, and cleaned up without any follow-up from me. That's unusual because I am particular. The amount of debris he removed was amazing. At the time there were so many bills with the closing and the moving, that I couldn't afford more service, but I resolved then to have the dryer vents cleaned in my home and my daughter's home too as soon as I could. After seeing what came out of the dryer vent, I wanted the AC vents at my son's cleaned as well, the disinfection that comes with the procedure and UV lights installed. It makes such a difference if anyone is asthmatic or has allergies, and the house smells much nicer if you have pets or a smoker (they don't need to smoke in the house, it clings to their body and clothing and gets into the furniture and rugs). I saved enough after the new year and called Iron Air back to do the AC vents at my son's and the whole works at my daughter's and my home. Her house has vaulted ceilings and took 3 different ladder sizes, a lot of work, but the quality was excellent. We own several properties and will call Iron Air for all of them in the future. Don't be fooled by the ads you see for AC vent cleaning that is cheap. I was once. They put a vacuum up to the main vent and sucked it out, sprayed something bleachy in, and were done in 15 min. Iron Air showed me the right way to really clean them. It is a lot of work and takes over an hour for the normal 9 vents, and larger homes like my daughters take longer. I watched it all and saw their care, and the hidden debris that was up in there. So don't be fooled, get it done right. When I complimented Carl on his careful, clean work, he said "you should see my boss, Joe, he is better than me". I can't imagine! I certainly recommend Iron Air. We have used it at 3 properties now with no problems. You will not be sorry."

"I called back on Monday, Donnie came out that afternoon and the price was great, he was professional and pleasant. The installers came Tuesday. A friend was at the house as I had to work and he kept calling me with things to ask Donnie. Donnie never sounded irritated and always said you are the customer and we want you to be happy. The issue required the technician to come back after he left Tuesday and he was pleasant as well even though it was already late. This technician couldn't identify why the unit was registering the correct numbers (my friend identified this issue, I would never had know, they left and all seemed fine). The technician was coming back Wednesday morning ( I had to take a day off of work) but Donnie first had another technician come to the house that evening. They found the copper pipes or whatever goes under the house was the problem and they needed to install new pipes through the attic. They never showed any disrespect or tone that wasn't professional and made me feel like the customer did come first. It took a lot of time and someone else to keep pushing the issue (my friend did A/Cs in Texas so he knew things luckily). When they say it isn't really the A/C that fails it is the installation, this could have been one of those. Thanks Service Star for great service. Luckily it isn't hot out but I can't really test the system but we will!"

"I recently went on Yelp to write a good review for this guy and his company so I'm pretty much copying and pasting. Trust me, I'm happy to do it for this guy because he saved me a bunch of money and I'm so satisfied with his work.
Had a new 3.5 tons system installed at my house 3 years ago. Yesterday it stopped working. I could hear it trying to kick in so I shut it off. Called the original company (ABCool) and they came out to service it. I was told it was the blower motor in the handler inside the garage. He said don't worry about it you're under warranty for 10 years and he took the blower unit out in like 8 minutes.
He knocks on my door and said he called his office and there was a service charge...$560 to install the new one. I was like...and quot;WHAT?!and quot; There is no way I was going to pay ABCool A/C and Heat that kind of money for something so simple....and with a free part no less.
I called a company I found on Craigslist. No, I'm not crazy. Well, I guess it was risky. I did check to see if he was licensed on the SUNBIZ website. He is. Anyway, today Csaba came out (the Owner of Air 1) picked up my old motor and went up to Goodman Dist and got the replacement. Came back to my house and installed it in about 35 minutes...oh, and checked my pressure and refrigerant at the compressor outside. Cost? Less than $160. Needless, to say, the house is cool and I'm really, really happy. Nice guy too, respectful.

"If you are having problems with your AC or heater, I highly recommend Timothy Philpot. our AC broke in the hottest month of summer and he was speedy in getting to our house to replace our system. He also filed all of the necessary paperwork to ensure us to be under warranty. His price was fair and we will be calling him for any future work we need!"

"Well! One minor glitch, tech did not have our size air filter with him. Had to call and have them send one to us with the 6 filters for monthly change of filters! They came out that day and installed new filter, and gave us the remaining 5!"

"My car air condition system was blowing warm air, so I went to local store & purchased an ac charge kit (includes R134A refrigerant, gage, & hose). I installed it according to directions & it worked for a couple days, then started blowing warm air again, so now I am thinking the worst, leak, compressor, etc.. I stopped in Dave Johnson's Automotive to make an appointment, & Dave asked me if I had time & he would check the ac system right then & I said sure. He had his mechanic check out the system, then recharged it with a dye to help detect leaks. Sent me home & told me to run ac system as much as possible & bring it back in 3 days or before if it starts blowing warm air. The ac system never ran better & did not blow warm air. After 3 days I returned & Dave did a black light inspection for leaks & found none. Dave could have easily sold me the "Brooklyn Bridge" !!!  But he didn't, Dave was honest, fair, & gave me a little education on my ac system. Great job Dave & thanks.

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Orange City, FL

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.
