"Originally I called for a diagnostic of my AC unit, which was doing a terrible job cooling my house. Nikita did the diagnostic-turns out the coolant was leaking, a coil needed to be replaced, and not to mention the thing was from the 1990's. We decided to replace and upgrade it, as well as our furnace, since we froze last winter (turns out it was badly rusted on the inside and emitting CO into the house, which NO ONE found last winter (had it looked at by 4 different people and everyone said there was nothing wrong except that the BTU's were too small for the size of the house). Roy was so awesome, because even though they couldn't schedule us for the next 3 weeks, he made sure we stayed cool-he filled up the coolant and came over to the house a couple times when the AC stopped working. I will be keeping him as our heating and cooling guy!"

"Companies are only as good as the people working for them. This is especially true for the HVAC industry which, as a whole, is basically an alligator-filled swamp. From the moment you first speak to Aaron, you'll know working with him and his outstanding company is going to be a completely different. After being repeatedly ripped off by some of the big names in HVAC in the area, I ran across Aaron. Immediately, he displayed his honest, helpful nature. Nobody in this dreadful industry had ever given me the distinct feeling that I WAS NOT dealing with a con artist. But, Aaron did. No owner has ever answered the phone when I called. Aaron did. Nobody has ever spoken to me in a forthright and respectful way. Aaron did. No HVAC guy has ever treated me in a way that made me feel complete confidence in his abilities and character. Aaron did. When you need help with an HVAC situation, there is really only one way to make certain you don't get your pocket picked. Call Aaron, trust me, call him. You'll be so glad you did."

"It went extremely well. The technician was professional and thorough. He spend at least 30 minutes with me reviewing the current configuration to ensure that the replacement water heater would meet our needs. We switched from a tank water heater to a tankless water heater and couldn't be happier. The tech did a great job with the installation and left the area clean and organized."

"From Tammy in the office to system designer Jake Snyder to head technician Tim the folks from Irish Air were GREAT when I needed a second opinion on possibly needing a new heat pump. They saved me thousands of dollars. I can’t recommend them highly enough for sales or service. They are my new HVAC company!"

"Our heat pump needed to be replaced and our furnace wasn't as efficient as it could have been so we decided to replace it all. After a consultation Bassett recommended a system for our house that included a furnace and standard air conditioner. We also had zones in our house but because we have an open stairway (in a not that big house) they also recommended doing away with the zones. We went with the recommendation and that first winter (last year) our house was so cold in the winter months. We were told that by letting the fan circulate all the time it would eliminate cold spots. What we didn't realize is that they never inspected or evaluated our current ductwork. It is undulated and as a result the air that circulates is always cold. The upstairs is cold and without a quartz heater in our family room, it too would be cold. We called them back to check and we were told that it seemed to be working fine. Putting a thermometer in the register said that there was heat. Later, in this summer my husband talked to them again anticipating this winter. We were told we might want to go back to having zones. It would only cost us another $1,000 or so to make that change. 

As for installation, that was done very professionally and neatly. They were prompt and polite. I would say to do your own research before Bassett ever comes and be prepared to make a decision based on that rather than what they may recommend. If I could figure out how to put that old furnace back in, I sure would. It worked much better for winter heat than this one does."

Everything went great.  He showed up on time and was very professional.  We provided the hardware and he did the rest.  He removed and disposed off the old sink and faucet, installed a drop in sink, replaced the hardware and even put in new flexible tubing.

We couldn't be happier with the work they provided.

"Tom Sipes came to our house to assess our heating and air conditioning needs.  He recommended the units that would efficiently heat and cool our home and provided a full cost to purchase and install both.  A week later two installers arrived to install both units.  They spent a full day installing and making fully operational.  They worked very unobtrusively and cleaned up their work area when finished.  The only disappointment was the vent coming out of the roof was noticeably crooked and we had to ask them to straighten it.  I would have been more impressed with their attention to detail and customer satisfaction if they had noticed it and fixed it on their own.  However, once we asked to have it adjusted they completed the task without any hesitation.  Overall, I was very pleased with the installers work, as well as the recommendations made by Tom when he suggested the units needed."

"Qualifying punctuality rating: The guys who installed the oven arrived at the time scheduled, however our scheduled delivery & installation date was delayed by a week because, we were told, their supplier in Ohio failed to load it on the truck on the date it was supposed to be shipped to the store and the supplier only makes deliveries to the store once a week. Had we been under a deadline for it to be installed - for example due to a kitchen renovation where work requires timing/sequencing - then this would have been a problem."

"We use RT Moore to service both our HVAC system (2 heat pumps & 2 furnaces) and for our plumbing needs. We have a contract for the semi-annual (spring & fall) HVAC inspection and maintenance. We used them three times this year for plumbing needs (the natural gas pressure relief valve replacement, sanitary sewage pump replacement and repair of a leaky drain line). RT Moore's technicians are dependable, timely, professional, courteous, neat and friendly. There may be cheaper providers of these services but we believe that RT Moore offers good value.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Plainfield, IN

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.
