"I am beyond please with Yandi and his team. I was lucky enough to be at a friend's house visiting when his team was there installing an AC unit for her, I was instantly impressed with there professionalism and politeness. I had been needing to replace my A.C. unit but the prices were ridiculously high and so I decided to give Yandi a call. He immediately gave me options, worked with my income and didn't try to oversell me a unit. Within a week I had a new unit installed. I was able to have the same professional team come to my house and was left with such a pleasant experience. I hands down will recommend this company to anyone I know with no doubts that they will deliver exceptionalism. My house is cool and everything is working great!"

"We resolved the issue with the capacitor and it turns out the problem was the circuit breaker. He notified us about the fan motor going bad and gave us a 30 day quote for when we’re able to afford it. Brian was a great communicator and very informative about the unit and the components. We’ll definitely schedule our next appointment with David Gray for future a/c work."

"Caleb came out the same day for our residential A/C. He provided excellent professional, friendly service. Spent extra time to troubleshoot and make sure he had identified all the issues, and he talked us through the solutions and options. Followed up a few days later with a text. We'll definitely use Eby again if we need further work."

The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Saint Augustine, FL

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.
