"Our AC died last week and the first company provided us 3 replacement options. We selected the middle option ($16,000) and signed the contract, which provided us a 5 day cancellation period. Installation was scheduled for Friday. I solicited other companies quotes using the estimate provided by the first company and all declined stating I needed to schedule an appointment for someone to come out to take measurements, etc. Our inside temperature was 98 degrees.

"I contacted Bluestar Air Mechanical for a second opinion after an appointment with Air One. I have a Carrier HVAC system, and the Air One technician recommended a complete system replacement, claiming the blower was bad, the furnace control board needed replacing, and that there were other issues. Since replacing the HVAC is a big investment, I wanted to get a second opinion. It was only after comparing the service from Bluestar that I realized Air One may have been pushing for a new system sale or lacked the expertise to properly diagnose and repair the actual problems. Isaac, the technician from Bluestar, spent about an hour thoroughly diagnosing and fixing the issues. He found burnt wiring in the furnace and discovered that the wrong capacitor had been incorrectly installed in the AC. Isaac replaced the burnt wiring in the furnace and the capacitor in the AC. After these repairs, my Carrier system was back up and running—without the need for a costly replacement. Bluestar, and Isaac in particular, demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and honesty. They focused on resolving the actual issues instead of pushing for an unnecessary system replacement. I highly recommend Bluestar for their reliable service and Isaac’s thorough and knowledgeable work."

Call today for FREE Estimates for new heating and cooling systems, water heaters, water filtration and electrical panels and whole home generators. Founded in 1976 by Jim Appleton, grandfather of current President Mike Appleton—Appleton Campbell has remained a locally owned and operated business dedicated to their customers, employees and communities. Honesty, integrity, and experience are the cornerstones on which Appleton Campbell was built and on which it continues to grow today. Committed to outstanding customer service Appleton Campbell provides: - Highly trained technicians who treat you and your home with courtesy and respect - Flat-rate pricing—the price you are quoted up front is the price you will pay—there are no surprises - Guaranteed service and customer satisfaction

"Twelve and a half years ago, Appleton Campbell installed my previous complete sump pump system (with battery backup and pit-to-discharge piping) for $1051, a reasonable amount. A recent inspection noted age-related problems with the battery backup of that system. I was quoted $2693 (with Membership Value Program discount) for a replacement sump pump system. This increase in price (from $1051 to $2653) far exceeds what could be expected due to cumulative inflation over the past twelve years plus COVID-driven increases over the past several years. However, I've been hiring Appleton Campbell for a variety of jobs over the past 20 years and had always (until now) had good experiences with them. So, in the end, I decided to hire them to come back (today) to do the work. After the initial work was completed, the technician noticed water leaking from the discharge piping when the new sump pump engaged. There had been no leakage with my previous sump pump system. The leakage was new, apparently caused by the work done today to replace the system. I'll give the technician credit for noticing the leak and bringing it to my attention. However, his manager, instead of making this right, instead quoted an additional $1203 (with Membership Value Program discount) to fix the problem. There are two bottom lines. First, for unknown reasons, fairly recently, Appleton Campbell significantly increased their prices beyond what can be explained by inflation, and they now provide relatively low value for the price. Second, Appleton Campbell's quality standards no longer include making things right, when their work causes a problem. Instead, they now expect customers to pay not only for the work originally bid but also for any additional work required to fix problems caused by their work. In general, the technicians who work at Appleton Campbell are professional, courteous, and they do good work. However, managers at this company have changed pricing and quality policy to the detriment of customers. If and when you hire them, do so with open eyes, don't expect good work for a good price, and don't expect them to be more ethical than a fly-by-night operation."

"I have been a customer for a very long time and this scheduled maintenance and dryer vent cleaning was done by Cesar. I have to say he is one very thorough technician and I was very pleased with his inspection and vent cleaning. His service was so different than some of the ones I've had before. I even had one inspector tell me he didn't need to check in my attic which houses one of our two units. Let me tell you about Cesar, he even cleaned up behind my dryer for me. This is something that is rare in customer service. I have my HVAC seasonally maintenanced and never had a inspector be as thorough as him. The pictures he took and explained to me and the one problem he found that no other inspector had found in all this time. I tried to spare him from the attic heat for the repair and have him return on another day in the morning but he didn't mind going back in there to fix the problem for us although it was in the dead heat of the day. I just hope the company sees this review and knows what a good technician they have in Cesar."

"My AC failed and I had limited time to find a good solution, I made a phone call to Relax HVAC based on the online reviews and it was a great decision. Nasser came to check the situation, he gave a very detailed and comprehensive overview of the situation and provided with the options I had. I decided to replace the unit, Nasser went above and beyond to find a unit delivery service but there was nothing available over the weekend so this gentleman went for unit pick up himself and finished the installation within a day from my initial call. Moreover, the provided price was very reasonable.I can't be more happy with the outcome and highly recommend Relax HVAC"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Purcellville, VA

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.
