"Highly recommend this company they are honest, thorough and professional. We had an issue where our child's bedroom was much colder than the rest. Another company ($100 visit and did not fix problem) told us it was because of the age of the house, location of vents and very expensive to fix. Smarthouse found it was not a big deal or expensive at all. Our dampers just needed adjusted as one was partially closed. They sent us a detailed email including further steps we could take if we chose to and with it just being the damper they didn't charge us. I appreciate their honesty and am looking at purchasing an energy audit in the future because this is a company i can trust and does a good job. Much appreciated!"

"Vitt was very responsive while we investigated alternatives, and provided prompt answers to our many questions. Once we made the decision based on Vitt's good price and excellent equipment, they began the very next day and installed three complete HVAC systems (furnaces, coils and outside units) in one day. Very professional and superior work. We highly recommend Vitt."

"This is a general review of the services provided me by Jim Ferrell of North Alabama Tech Services as I was one of Jim's original clients when Jim started his business three years ago.  Mr. Ferrell is the ultimate professional who works full-time as an IT professional whilst owning his own business on the side (as many do to either make ends meet or share their passion with the rest of us who need it).  I have relied on Mr. Ferrell's ability to navigate through my own computer issues and he has never failed me.  I've often phoned him in a panic and he's delt with my issues calmly and professionally.  I've also waited in line while he delt with other clients who's issues were more pressing, and I have been happy to do so.  I've recommended Mr. Ferrell to many of my friends and they have certainly availed themselves of his computer talents.  I trust Mr. Ferrell in his business dealings implicently - price, work ethic, knowledge and performance.  I hope Mr. Ferrell never leaves the business as I will truly be in a panic.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Saint Charles, MO

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.
