"We got a new AC unit last fall. When we started using it this summer, the breaker kept tripping. We have a maintenance plan with Estes for electric problems, so they came to have a look. Tried something the first time they came, and it seemed okay for about a week, and then the breaker tripped again, so they came back and tried something else, but that didn't work long either. The problem was that the AC and furnace share the same blower or condenser something or other, and that was probably causing the breaker to trip. I asked if they could run a separate line for the AC, and they came back to do that, and we haven't had the problem since then. So they stuck with it until it was finally fixed for good, I hope. We have used Estes for heating and AC for decades, and they have always treated us fairly. We have maintenance contracts for that, and added electrical and plumbing. They are a well run outfit, they have very good workers and sales people who have always respected our property inside and out, as well as us. We have purchased and had them install a new furnace and three AC units over the years, and they have serviced them both and fixed anything when needed. This is a company we trust, and can recommend without hesitation."

"Omega Heating went under the house, changed out of the filter, and reignited to the pilots. He mentioned in the next year I would need to replace my furnace because of rust, which was great advice. They voiced their concerns, which I was grateful for. They provided me an estimate for a replacement. I would recommend them to anyone. They were professional, on time, and went above and beyond."

"It's been a few weeks since my ducts were cleaned and I have so much less dust in my house! We have a fairly new home (4 years old) and I had no idea how much the construction of the home left in the ducts. The team was polite and were in and out in just a few hours. I"m very happy with the results and will use them again the next time our ducts need cleaning. Thanks to the team!"

"Our hot water heater began leaking from inside of the unit.  The existing unit was very old and needed to be replaced.  After researching Angie's List, I made a purchase for a replacement hot water heater with Henson Mechanical HVAC and Plumbing.  Henson Mechanical reached out to me later that day to schedule my replacement, and to verify information about my existing setup.  They were able to send an installer out the very next day.
Prior to his visit, Kurt Schmeisser called to inform me that he would be the person to install the new water heater.  Kurt was prompt, and extremely professional.  During the removal of the old unit, and the installation of the new unit, Kurt made sure not to damage anything in my house.  He made sure to put down plastic over runs of carpet in my basement to ensure that it was not soiled.
Since it is now code, Kurt installed an expansion water tank.  This was included in the initial purchase price of the unit, and was not an unexpected and added expense.
Before he departed, Kurt showed me how to manipulate the temperature of the tank.  He then demonstrated how to ignite the pilot light if there was ever a need.
Through the entire process, Kurt was very polite and professional.  I would consider using Henson Mechanical HVAC and Plumbing for future projects.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Oxford, GA

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.
