"I called Ryan because my 15 year old furnace was not functioning. The heat exchangers had pinholes and the secondary exchanger was completely rusted out and clogged. Ryan did his absolute best to come up with the best solution for the least amount of cost to me. In the end the resolution ended up being a new furnace unit. This gentleman is transparent and honest. He took the time to explain to me why I needed a new furnace. He had the opportunity to cobble my old one together and charge me for labor, but his integrity shined through and he let me know it's not safe, and he's not comfortable doing that. I also took the opportunity to have him install a 4" filter box to prevent future system issues due to the awful 1" filter location. I will 100% call Ryan again in the future. Thank you Ryan and Carson!"

CHECK OUT OUR REVIEWS! For over 100 years the Manwill family has the reputation and expertise to take care of your needs in a manner that you expect. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning services by Licensed Plumbers and Certified Technicians. Top service contractor awards include 8 TIMES BEST OF STATE AWARD, ANGIES LIST SUPER SERVICE AWARD 2008-2022. BBB A+ Come visit our showroom and parts departments. We repair and sell all major brands.
"I had Manwill put in their top of the line Lennox Furnace (no thermostat was installed - used existing Google nest unit) and for the past 18 months we experienced a consistent increase in energy (kWh) consumption for heating and cooling. Today I called Manwill, explained my negative ROI on my initial investment and asked about having them install the thermostat they originally recommended in hopes of seeing an improvement. The price they quoted me had gone up $500 in 18 months (total quoted was over $1300, original quote, ~$800) so I’ve decided to terminate all my business with Manwill. I found the exact same S40 Lennox thermostat on Amazon brand new from an authorized Lennox dealer for $599 with the full manufacturer warranty and full feature set. Essentially Manwill was going to charge me $700 over retail price to install the thermostat. Sure Manwill has good service but are you willing to pay those kind of prices for good service and in my case product that does not deliver?? By the way, they put 3lbs of the most common Freon in my AC last week and that cost $684.00 (their cost per pound ~$40). Just seems everyone wants to jack their prices up and use inflation as an excuse for gouging hard working American families."

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs
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.
