"Purchased a ductless mini split heat pump to serve as the primary main floor heat source in a home we where purchasing that only has electric services, no gas. They came out and measured and looked around, gave us quotes. I wanted a Mitsubishi but the guy talked me into the brand they recommend Carrier saying it would work better. Funny enough now a year later Mitsubishi is what they are pushing on their website. Install went fine, $5,000 later I have it installed. First summer it cannot cool the space to under 75 in the summer running all day, I figure we bought it for heating so cut our losses on the cooling being effective. The first winter, its a mild winter, it cannot heat the house above 68 degrees we have had to use the baseboard heaters and now the next winter install a pellet stove to offset what was a $300-350 heat bill last winter for several months. The mini split was supposed to be efficient and cut our electric bill in the winter but our usage is up from the previous homeowner that actually heated the whole house, we only heat 3 rooms as two bedrooms are empty, we even put the baseboards on a programmable thermostat and have cut back use there. I feel like they over sold the efficiency of the unit and messed up on estimating what size unit we would need for the space to be heated and cooled, it just feels undersized. I reached out to the company several months ago around our 1 year mark and they never got back to me on my issue with it being undersized."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Saint Ignatius, MT

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.
