"I had a new furnace and central air conditioner installed by wasatch plumbing and heating. Ryan was very honest, knowledgeable, reasonable and professional. He went above and beyond the removal of the old equipment and installation of the new equipment. I would highly recommend wasatch mechanical plumbing & HVAC. Thank you Ryan"

"I can’t say enough good things about Utah Climate Pro’s! Our home was built in 1986 and only had a swamp cooler — no central AC. We decided it was time to upgrade, and Chaz (the owner) made the whole process simple and stress-free. He came out the very next day, walked me through the best options, and helped us choose a highly efficient, top-of-the-line Rheem heating and cooling system. Two days later, his team was here installing two new furnaces and adding AC units to both. They were professional, respectful, and clearly highly trained — not your typical subcontractors. They protected our new floors, worked clean, and treated our home with care. The entire installation only took two days, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We’re beyond excited to finally have central AC and reliable, efficient heating. If you’re even thinking about upgrading or adding AC, don’t wait — call Utah Climate Pro’s. Chaz and his team make it easy, and the quality of their work speaks for itself."

"Dan from Expert Plumbing called me about 10:15 AM on the day of the new shower installation to get some additional information on what I needed done, and then again when he was about 10 minutes out. When he arrived, just shortly after 11 AM, he went over Expert's pricing (i.e., cost of the service call, hourly rate and minimum,etc.) and after looking very briefly at the plumbing, had me sign an invoice assuming two hours of labor (the worst case scenario in his mind). However, he explained that if he completed the work in an hour or less he would write up another invoice for one hour minimum labor charge. Dan then looked at the now exposed plumbing behind the bathtub. He saw no evidence of any leakage along the bathtub piping or on the floor during a careful inspection. However, he was unable to pressure test the piping and soldered connections because the water had been turned off and the shower-install contractor had already cut the copper piping to the now-demolished shower. He then focused on the corroded (due to hard water) nipple. It took some effort but with the correct internal pipe wrench he was able to remove it. I had purchased four nipples of differing lengths in anticipation of replacing the corroded nipple. Dan installed one of the new nipples so that a new tub spout with a threaded connection can be installed. Overall, the labor he performed took around 45 minutes, with most of that time expended on removal and replacement of the recalcitrant corroded nipple. In summary, Dan was courteous, personable, and professional. Before leaving he modified the invoice to one hour of labor, as he had discussed upon arrival. I would use Expert Plumbing, Heating, Air, and Electrical again if needed."

"AC system failed during a recent heat wave. I had 2 separate companies look at my system and inform me that I needed to replace both the inside and outside units due to a blown compressor, despite my AC system only being 3 years old. Not happy with the estimates, I called Larkin to get a 3rd opinion. Larkin provided me with some direction over the phone to try first in an effort to avoid the dispatch fee. I called back when that didn't work and Ryan came out that evening. After a thorough diagnostic look into my system, it was determined that I needed a new outside system. Price quoted was half of what I had previously received. They were over the following day and did another comprehensive assessment to ensure that a new system was in fact required. The outdoor system was installed and works great. I highly recommend Larking Heating & Cooling."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"Greg is fantastic. I have used High Point on several occasions and I will use them again without hesitation. Their work is outstanding and their prices are as fair as you'll find. I have used them for small jobs (e.g., furnace inspections and tune-ups) and for big jobs (e.g., installing a new AC compressor and ductwork). I have always been satisfied with the job they do and their attention-to-detail. They take pride in their work and take a personal interest in my needs and desires. I have two rental properties in Eagle Mountain. I live in Salt Lake City and my job takes me out-of-state regularly. For obvious reasons, I need a company that I trust because I don’t always have an opportunity to supervise the work. Greg is the one I trust. In December, one of my properties needed a new thermostat. In January, my other property needed the furnace inducer replaced. While inspecting the furnace, Greg noticed a leak from the water heater. He sent a picture and I set him to work on replacing the water heater as well. If you use High Point, you’ll have no regrets."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Payson, UT

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.
