"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"I have been putting off this major expense because I was uncertain what would be the correct new system for my home. I had four different heating and air conditioning companies come to my home, access my current equipment, make recommendations, and provide estimates for new equipment.
Now I'm not in the habit of writing reviews, after all I type six words a minute.  As I researched my options to change my furnace and air conditioning equipment I found a diverse set of perspectives from the contractors who visited my home, from a recommendation from one contractor to "do nothing and when you sell the house give the next owner an accommodation for the furnace and air conditioner not working". Pass on that idea. To suggestions to relocate the condenser to a different location and to dig up my yard which would have cost 2X what I was charged buy Johnson Air.
Paul provided a comprehensive written proposal for work within 24 hours of visiting our home. Once we accepted the proposal, Paul's office scheduled a date for the work to be initiated which was less than a week out, and this was during a heat wave, so a week sounded very responsive. I was not sure how long I'd have his crew at our home, removing the old eqipment and installing the new gear but my expectation was a couple of days. Not so !  Johnson Air came promptly at 8:00 AM worked through the day and left before 5:00PM.
During the installation they were professional, put down the necessary protection to care for our floors, explained each step of the work to me as it was done as I wanted to be sure I understood what they were doing, and any discuss any issues that arose. They fixed issues/problems that were discoverd during installation, and made suggestions to maximize our new investments.
I am thrilled with the outcome provided by Johnson Air, they left the work area totally cleaned up picking up every little paper and scrap that was created during installation. My new equipment works better than my old gear did even on its best day, and Paul has some ideas on ways we can further improve on the air conditioning for our home. I recommend Johnson Air to anyone who is in need of an honest, high quality heating and air conditioning service for your home needs. 
Kind regards

"I put in for a few bids and Dan was the first to call about 30 minutes after I posted the bids. He came out on time and did all the work in the time frame he told me. He found a cap that was on the verge of failing and replaced it. That saved me potentially losing AC in the heat of the summer and paying for another visit. He also had a good suggestion to install a damper to direct more air upstairs during the summer and downstairs during the winter. This makes the whole system more efficient by balancing where the heat or AC is needed more. Anyhow, I got a reasonable quote for that so I think I'll going to do it. Anyhow, I definitely recommend SDAC!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Pauma Valley, CA

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.
