"Found this company on Angie's List and am I happy we called them. We had been using another company and has a service contract with them, but they were always too busy to do anything. We called DiBiase in the morning and a technician was at our house in the afternoon exactly on time. The technician (Chris) was extremely professional, very thorough in explaining why things weren't working and provided us a few options. We chose to repair the unit as opposed to replace it. Chris ordered the parts and was back on site as soon as the parts arrived. The price charged was exactly what was quoted, the service was completed promptly, system tested, Chris explained everything he did and the unit is working perfectly! I highly recommend this company, we have since signed a service agreement with them that includes 2 a year tune-ups for both or our systems. Great company to deal with, professional, courteous, prompt at returning calls and very thorough!"

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

They are really good. I had four guys out here for, like three days. They put in a great heat pump real easily. Not only did they put in a new furnace, but the ducting that was in here at the house was, like, 30 years old so they tore it out and re-did it with custom ducting made out of big sheets of metal. They only charged me $3,000 for the furnace. I am glad I did because it has made a huge difference in the air quality here. They came out yesterday. They said they would be back for the winter servicing. I have an oil backup so they were out for a number of hours yesterday. They will service it for the next 10 years and it is under warranty for 10 years too. They are great guys. Frank Ford is the owner of it. He and his guys do excellent work and really care. Their prices are as good as anybody. The price depends on what unit you get so it is hard to say. These guys are terrific. I would say if you needed a new heat pump or furnace they should be number one on your list.

"Dan and Dylan are the best. Scroll through the reviews and this is apparent. I've been working with them for 5 years, and every encounter has been flawless. Always affordable, courteous, timely, trustworthy and professional. I will never use or refer another HVAC company. Stop looking for other providers and choose them. Thanks again!"

"Hello, Our air conditioner was leaking R22 gas and we decide to fill it one last time this season and that was a mistake. After paying PSE&G $500 to fill it, all the gas leaked out in a month. This is when my wife and I decide to get a new system. We looked at York, Carrier and Lennox. We decide on Carrier because of the quality and our last system lasted 22 years. They also have 25 year warranties on different parts. My wife and I went on Angi's and got quotes from 12 different companies. They ranged from 9K to 17K dollars to have our furnace and air conditioner replaced. The quote we received from AAC Heating and Cooling Services was in the mid 10K range and then we added an electric air cleaner to the system which put us in the low 11k range. We went with AAC Heating and Cooling Services because of their warranty and the fact that Adem was not a high pressure sales man. He told you what he was going to give you and let you make the decision. We had several companies that wanted you to sign that night and I not a person for high pressure sales tactics. AAC Heating and Cooling Services also warranty their labor for 5 years and only 2 other companies were better. Those companies gave us 10 year labor warranties but they were in the 14K to 17K range. You also had to purchase a yearly plan which would of added an additional $240 to $265 to the yearly bill. This was out of our budget. Adem also gave us a date and time the job would be done. Other companies weren't sure if they could get the parts in 2 to 3 weeks and couldn't give us a start date. When Adem and Chris came to do the work they were very polite and professional. They Laid out cloths not to damage the hardwood floors, rugs and bedroom furniture since my furnace was in the attic. When the air conditioner was installed they laid out a base of stone before adding the 3 inch pad down. Then put the air conditioner on that nice flat solid surface so it would never sink into the ground over time. Very professional and well done. The entire time I felt like I could talk to Adem and Chris, ask questions and get truthful answers. Also, the way wires were tied and the pipes were placed was very clean and professional. Nothing sticking out that you can trip on or bump into. It's been 2 weeks now since we had the new furnace and air conditioner installed and we couldn't be any happier."

"Kevin came out for us on Christmas Eve morning, taking time from his holiday. We'd just finally had our new washer installed, with clothes piling up, when the dryer went on the fritz. Kevin did an outstanding job, replacing the dryer vent to the wall, and repairing a disconnected outlet vent in the basement. The dryer now works like a champ, and we can finally winnow down that clothes backlog. A great job, greatly appreciated!

"Great! Keith, Bunnie and their team are professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. They communicate, they are on time, they work cleanly and go the extra mile for service questions. They do not rush and Keith makes certain the customer is pleased with the progress and workmanship. In the Fall 2021, I had the heater replaced and just this past month, 2022 I had AIRCO return to do the air conditioning installation. I own an older home and it required a little extra TLC which Keith planned for and made adjustments as needed. I highly recommend them for any services ...."

" I took my auto here for inspection on the recommendations of my friend and Angie's List reviewers. They inspected my car and replaced the wiper blades as needed. I was shocked to find they did not try to "push" all kinds of other unnecessary repairs as my prior auto repair place always did when I took the car for inspection. I spoke to Ed the owner when I picked up the car. He said my car was fine and I told him I appreciated the fact that they did not push repairs. I will be bringing my car here from now on."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Pottstown, PA

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.
