"I’ve been using Independent Air Conditioning since 2012 and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Bernie is friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, committed to customer service and, above all, a truly honest businessman. Bernie will let you know when you’re A/C needs service but, more importantly, he’ll also tell you when just an adjustment or minor repair will suffice. As a Realtor for almost 30 years I’ve seen more than my fair share of A/C companies and Independent A/C is the only one that I recommend to clients, friends and family without hesitation."

"Larry Trost the owner is exactly what you want in an Air Conditioning tech: He is trustworthy, professional, reliable, cost efficient and the guy who does most of the work. The guy you pay, is the guy doing the work. It's a beautiful thing. My Trane Air Conditioner was sucking the money out of my pocked for years, and finally ceased functioning completely. The estimates to get it replaced were high. I asked a total of five companies to submit bids, and most ignored my request and gave me bids on things I said I did not want. Also most sent out salesmen. Larry was the one company where the guy who was going to do the installation was the guy who showed up. I checked his background, and He has a great HVAC education, he came out in a truck that screamed “Hey I can do this right now”. Then He gave me a great price. Next he showed up on time and finished in one day. Then he cleaned up after himself. It went so well that I had him replace a second AC unit, in a rental I have in Ruskin. Both jobs on time under budget and done with high quality workmanship. I could not ask for a better HVAC guy. Now I just give him my tenet's phone number and he repaired the hot water heater instead of replacing it. So he set up the repair time for me (saving me a bunch of time), and did the work the next day, way under what I thought I was going to pay. Whats not to like? Would recommend him in a minute to my brother. Sounds like BS, but it's not. He is so good I just spent about 30 minutes writing this review, that got to tell you something."

"Owner told me that it would cost around $700 to fix a bearing that went out in my front-loading GE (not very old) washing machine due to the very poor (inconsiderate) engineering design by GE and that I should rather use the $$$ to replace it at the store of my choice (with another brand) than have him repair it... Now THAT is honor in a business situation.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Port Charlotte, 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.
