"Removed my old water heater which had a gas leak at the valve. It was 17 years old. Harry did a good job of taking out the old water heater and installing a brand new one  (he also took away the old one). He went above & beyond when he replaced a valve stem on my refrigerator line with a better replacement (which he didn't even charge me for). He was on-time, courteous and knowledgeable. Good Job Harry & Thank You.   Which is more than I can say about Consumers Energy.

"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.

Furnace stopped kicking off. Service guy came over afterhours (thanks for that) and did a fix to the loose connection for inducer motor.
Fix didn't last for a day... Quote to replace the part  is half the price of new furnace of same 80% kind! Welcome to home ownership!!!

"Travis and his crew Installed a new A\C system and removed the existing one for us. He quickly responded to my request for an estimate. He gave me a fair price and delivery quote. After he was awarded the job, he did what he said what he would do and did it in the time frame that he promised. They left their work areas cleaner than they found them. A pleasure to work with. I was very happy with the job they did. I will use them again for Heating and air conditioning needs."

"The Crofts were quick to respond to my flooding problem. They diagnosed the issue, replaced the sump pump and helped with other minor plumbing repairs. They were EXTREMELY helpful and went out of their way chase down parts etc... without charging me an arm and a leg (not like what I've experienced with other plumbers). I'll use them on any plumbing needs I have in the future... guaranteed."

"Very knowledgeable, very thorough with the quote, the price the gave me was the price I paid, the a/c was installed 5 days later when I got back from vacation and was completed in 4 hours only because the coil they had was slightly bigger than the enclosure. I would absolutely recommend to anyone.....Talk to Sears!!!"

"I used Angie's List to find a place to take my truck for repair.  The proximity of this place to my home, the high rating, and the fact that they also offered a coupon made me select them.  I had never used this facility before.  I was there bright and early on President's Day because I had the day off and wanted to get my truck fixed as soon as I could.  When making the decision I had mentioned to several people that I had never had a repair done in one day - ever!  Whenever one takes a car to be fixed, the place may look at it that same day but it is never repaired that same day.  Well, let's just say I was tremendously impressed with how quickly they repaired my truck.  I dropped it off around 8:30 and the woman at the desk said it would be a few hours before they could look at it.  Well, I had a dr appt right after dropping it off and by the time I got home, around 10 am or so, she had called me back to tell me that someone had looked at it and what it needed and how much it would be!  I said OK to it being fixed, she said it would be done that afternoon.  It was done by 12:30 that afternoon!  Having said that, I am never impressed with how much these places charge.  Every place charges at least double for parts and fluids....and labor rates are ridiculous!  With a capital R Ridiculous actually.  However, since this is the going rate everywhere I must give this place the kudos it deserves because of their promptness.  I can no longer say I have never had a vehicle repair done in the same day.  I would absolutely go there again and have recommended the place to others.  Good job!"

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Palo, MI

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.
