"Overall experience was excellent.  We noticed that the air conditioning / cooling of our old HVAC system wasn't working when we first turned it on this year.  The serviceman from Alpine determined that the refrigerant fill valve was leaking, and provided an estimate to replace the valve and the refrigerant.  Since the leak had completely drained the system (it used R-22 which costs over $100 / pound), the repair was going to cost $1500 - of an old unit.  It was recommended that we consider replacing the HVAC unit.  The salesperson we met with was thorough and knowledgeable, and presented us a range of options to consider. He did steer us away from lower quality units to several higher quality options (all made by Amana), and we elected to go with a mid-range system.  The installation was performed over 1.5 days by 2 technicians (the furnace is in the basement), and the technicians were prompt, courteous, thorough and complete. I had pretty minimal cleanup to do after they had completed the job.  System is working beautifully at the 2 month mark. I would recommend them highly for their efficient service and knowledgeable advice."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"I had a couple of delays, and when the day to install came around there was an possible storm hanging around which delayed the start. There was a contractor? other roofer? I thought it was the the job foreman for Otto's but I think this guy was an independent contractor. I don't know except that he told me that Otto was not his boss. To make a long story short, I never ever saw Otto , he never showed his face on the job-site when I was there. I found that a little odd. it did rain for about five minutes on the first day and I was told that they would come back and finish the next day.They told initially that there was probably three sheets of sheathing that would need to be replaced. I could not be there that day as I had to work and I was a little concerned when they told me they found a "lot" of rotted wood. This was after I talked to my wife on the progress. I was not texted nor called to update me on these developments and they would now have to replace seven sheets of sheathing. When I saw them replace part of the roof the day that I was there I saw zero rotted wood. granted the part that was replaced was not as steep of a pitch and I did finally see some pictures. What really irked me is that no one took any wide angle shots of the area to really show me what needed to be replaced. The other thing is that Terry told me he had to replace a piece of sheathing on the back side by the chimney. I went up in the attic and looked and I saw a small patch where they took out my vent but I did not see any new sheathing in this area. This makes me concerned because how do I know how much they really replaced if this was not done. Otto does not have any free sheathing replacement, if you need it it is sixty dollars a sheet. Otto did give me a break by allowing me to buy my shearing and charging me thirty dollars labor per sheet. The thing that bothers me most is that there is sheathing missing where it was supposedly replaced and I have to pay $120.00 extra for two sheets. So it went from three sheets to seven...that to me is not even close. Otto's was fairly priced but If not for this sheathing fiasco I would be able to give Otto a good review...except that you will never see him except at the quote and to collect the money. I would probably choose a company that offers a a few sheets free instead."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"It went very well. He was punctual. He looked over the unit. Explained the problem and what it would take to fix the cooling unit. He went over pricing with me and even gave me the opportunity to look at competitors prices. Mr. Davis had my unit fixed same day. He was kind, courteous, very knowledgeable. Being a single woman home owner its important to know your not being taken advantage of. Mr.Davis provided an excellent service. I would 100% use him. again."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Rocky Mount, NC

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.
