"I had a Mitsubishi Mini Split air conditioning system installed by Four Seasons on May 20th, 2021. The pump and drainage system on one of the three units installed was installed incorrectly in several ways. It was not attached to the wall at first, not attached correctly, the pump installed was too small for the system, the drainage line was too small for the system, there were too many corners for the tube to drain correctly and there was a "massive kink" in the drainage line when originally installed that caused the pump to repeatedly be overworked and fail. None of this information was provided to me at the time of the install, but bit by bit by many technicians in the intervening years who came to attempt to fix the system. They were never able to do so and so the system never worked properly yet was paid for by me because I did not know that. Technicians had to come multiple times within the first 5 days of installation including the day after installation to try to fix the problem. They had to come at least nine times to attempt to fix the installation problem that was finally diagnosed correctly only on 6/3/25. The idea that there is a one-year warranty on the pump is unrelated to the complaint that a functioning system was never installed. All of this time passed because I was repeatedly told by technicians the problem, which they all said was due to improper installation, was fixed and then subsequent technicians informed me that it was not. Four Seasons is now unwilling to fix the failed installation without large additional charges. I would like Four Seasons to either refund me for never completing the job or to finish the installation job they never successfully completed."

Budget Right Handyman is Chicagoland's largest handyman service. We've won the Angie's List Super Service Award for 10 consecutive years. Since 2016, we've completed over 20,000 projects. All of our work comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee & 1-year warranty on labor.
"The beginning of the project was promising; he arrived on time and frequently went to his car to gather the necessary materials. I was quoted that the task would take about 1.5 hours, but he informed me that he would need the entire timeframe to complete it. As he worked, I noticed some damage to the property, and he explained that sometimes the holes in Wayfair products don't align properly, which can lead to issues. Additionally, he was expected to assemble a TV stand within the quoted 1.5 hours, but he was unable to start that as well."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Riverdale, IL
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.
