"They've done service work for me you know come back and check the furnace they are very honest and they do good work, they are very good company I would highly recommended them, it was the top of the line furnace it's a brains and they recommended it and they told me why they recommended it the Brant over the Carrier and it made good sense to be because the put the Carrier's in they  both suppose to come down the assemble line he told the guy explained it and the Carrier's  they worked all the bolts and holes and then after they have been in service in one year when they worked out the bolts and holes then they put in the Brant so it comes like the Carrier is a guinea pig for the Brant but you pay more for the Carrier because of the name so that's why I went with the Brant and so far I am very satisfied with it it's a very good furnace. Every time I called them  for service they give me a quick appointment and they installed it they came when they said that they were gonna come they did the job, they did it well they cleaned up after them self very very polite people very very nice to deal with."

"We had mold issues at two of our rental houses at the same time. One was small (bathroom ceiling) and one was a whole house and crawl space. I called multiple providers to come out and look at the projects and Ron and Dan from Complete Service Restoration were the ones that really took their time to understand the issues and come up with a plan. We started with the small project first and it was completed very quickly. For the whole house project CSR were the only provider who recommended a 3rd party air quality consultant to inspect the house and prepare a detailed remediation protocol. Ron, Dan and Anthony removed a lot of drywall.... sub floors.... insulation and cleaned the house from top to bottom using the correct tools and adhering to the strict remediation protocol. It was a lengthy process that took several months to complete including testing and clearance. They also encapsulated the crawl space and hepa vacuumed it. I have a lot of experience dealing with contractors and CSR really came through. Other companies send out a sales person but when Ron and Dan comes out you know that they are the ones who will do the work after you hire them. Their prices were fair and reasonable compared to their competitors. Cost of service was for both projects with 90% of it related to the entire house remediation (1800 sqf). Last but not least... they were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them for anything related to mold remediation and water/fire damage."

"I have rarely experienced service like I have received from Joe. He emphasizes customer service and fair dealing, and the quality of his work is second-to-none. We were pleased with the installation, attention to detail and equipment quality, and his follow-up support has been excellent -- so good that I referred my mother to him when her furnace needed replacement. She started having issues just months after my dad passed away, and Joe treated her with all of the respect and kindness that I would have shown her myself. I highly recommend Joe and anyone he selects to work on his team. He has my utmost confidence and respect."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Rochester Hills, MI

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.
