"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."

"Bon was very helpful and luckily had an opening for my HVAC unit during a crazy heat wave when all of the other big companies flaked on me or didn't have openings for weeks. My unit wasn't pumping out cool air and it was 90 degrees in my house during the heat wave. His prices and services were very reasonable. He gave me a free estimate by checking my vents and my unit. Luckily I just ran out of refrigerant and he was able to refill it when he found out I had very low levels. He noticed the builders who installed the unit was lazy and didn't waterproof the wiring correctly so he found a pool of water collecting in the sleeve holding the wires. He waterproofed it for a cheap price. Thank you for saving the day Bon!"

"A technician from Hawthorne Plumbing came at the appointed time and did fabulous work! The shower drains perfectly now. Other vendors were quoting me in the $250-300 range, which seemed overpriced for about 20 minutes of work. Hawthorne had a "single drain special" for about $80, which was reasonable."

"I think he was weary with the deal we purchased.  He had seen too many buyers of the design deal through Angies List before meeting us and knew their price was going to be higher than a deal buyer was interested in paying.  It was good for fostering the family discussion of what we wanted to do or not do,  but we had no work done, just the "design services".

"The finished product was better than I expected. It is obvious that this company takes pride in the work that they did. After extensive masking the walls were sprayed on. This was a great rom that included my Living room, dining room, and Kitchen. It was completely finished in one day including trim, base boards, and doors. I highly recommend 4 comers construction. Really good people who do quality work."

"We reluctantly conclude that dealing with Park Mechanical and Lennox has been an expensive mistake for us. In July 2013 we signed an “investment agreement” with Park to install a new Lennox furnace and air conditioning system in our house, to replace the old system, at a cost of over $10,000. Then we learned that the five-year Lennox warranty would be good only if we paid Park to inspect our system periodically, to certify that it has been “properly maintained.” To accomplish this we were persuaded to join a Park program called the “Shamrock Club,” under which we have been paying Park $99 a year for periodic inspections to certify that the equipment still qualifies for warranty coverage. One such inspection, in January 2016, declared the system to be correct and operational. But in May 2016, when the first hot weather arrived and we turned on the air conditioning, it did not work; there was no cooling. A Park technician found that something called the TXV valve had failed. After several hot days waiting for the replacement part, the valve was replaced and the system worked again. The repair was considered a warranty issue, and we were not charged. Similarly, on March 28, 2017, a Park technician inspected the system, found it to be functioning normally, and declared it to be “on maintenance.” At the beginning of May 2017, however, when the weather turned warm and we turned the system to “Cool,” it failed again. A Park technician found that all the refrigerant had leaked out, and refilled it pending permanent repair of the leak. On May 15 the technician returned and told us we would be charged $238 for the refrigerant and additionally for the labor to fix the leak. This time we learned that the Lennox warranty covers only the parts themselves that fail, and not the labor or the refrigerant needed due to the failure. No leak was found, and we were informed that the next step would be to inject a florescent marker dye into the refrigerant to show the leak – at an additional cost to us of $395. This failure is due to a failure in Park’s workmanship or in the Lennox equipment itself. The cost to fix it should be covered by warranty. Our disappointment with Park also includes Lennox, which offers only minimal warranty coverage for its products. Our experience may indicate why the company has so little confidence in what it sells. Our specific issues are: 1) Having to pay extra for warranty coverage on expensive new Lennox equipment. 2) The warranty does not cover labor and other costs that are likely when warranted equipment fails. 3) Our Lennox system has failed twice in the space of a year. This is not acceptable reliability. 4) Every Park inspection of our system has declared it to be operational and adequately maintained, including those immediately before the two equipment failures."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Plymouth, 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.
