"I have to give them one star, which, in my opinion, they don't deserve, in order to do this review. Absolutely among the worst people I have ever dealt with. If Ryan was working for me, he would have been fired a long time ago due to his being so unprofessional. He has a terrible attitude and, in my opinion, based on his dealing with me, has no understanding of how to deal with customers. I do not recommend this company to anyone due to his behavior and will never use them again. The family in my rental had been without AC for over a month due to an incorrectly ordered part, by either Choice warranty or Advantage. Both denied responsibility and blamed it on the other. The AC was finally installed and the installation was not done correctly, according to what the tenant, in their opinion, told me. The tenant said that when it was on cool it blew hot air, and when on heat, blew cold air. The tech who came over the next day and the tenant told me that he (Tech) said that it had been wired incorrectly. I called and got Ryan on the phone and asked what was wrong with the unit and was told by him that it was only a stopped up drain. The tenant said that was caused when the crew that installed the unit and buried the drain. Ryan got very upset, refused to answer my questions, and hung up on me when I asked if everything had been corrected. This man needs to attend anger management classes ASAP. He called me today and informed me that he was a multimillionaire and that his partner was an Attorney and if I didn't remove this post within 24 hours, he would have his partner sue me. I had my phone on speaker as I have hearing issues and my wife heard the entire conversation. I have stated nothing in this post that is not the truth. There was a $900.00 charge for service not covered which I asked him to send me a detailed list showing what the charges were for. He again refused, but did finally admit that it was his charge, not one tacked on by Choice Warranty, but still refuse to give me a breakdown on exactly what he did for the $900.00. As of 24 July he still has not provided me with a receipt for the $900.00 charge. He did tell me that only insane people kept asking questions when they knew they would be getting the same answer. There are several other negative reviews by other former customers on other different sites regarding this company and its Ryan. Read Them. I am a 75 year old Disabled Retired Veteran and have dealt with bullies like Ryan before, so I do not fear him or his threats to file a lawsuit. I believe in doing the right thing, and treating all people well, too bad that Ryan appears to not believe the same. I have pages of documents to back up everything I have posted. As of 26 July he has not provided me with a receipt for the $900.00 charge and what it was for."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Panama 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.
