"Communication was excellent throughout the entire process from estimate to installation completion. All individuals involved were professional and knowledgeable of the equipment. Installers showed up on time and provide explanation of the work being done. I definitely would recommend using McGhee's for HVAC needs."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"New installation went well. I was a little upset that only 50% was covered being that the unit was 19 years old. I'm sure that parts for something that old would be hard to find. Replacement was recommended."

"I am very pleased with my new floors. I bought my wood and baseboards separately and solicited several bids for installation and removal of the existing carpet. Mike's estimate was by FAR the most reasonable. We were in contact several times through Angie's list and he came out and said the initial quote he gave me was good (extra supplies and dumping the carpet etc. was extra as costs incurred).
Once we were able to coordinate schedules (my schedule was nuts and it this was a big job so he needed to block off a week for his crew). Ernesto and Gabriel showed up on time and after going over the details I let them get to work (I moved out of my place for the week). I checked in a couple of times to see the progress and the speed at which they got things done was remarkable. By Tuesday, the carpet was all gone and part of the floor was installed!
Mike contacted me by phone on Wednesday and said everything would be done by Friday at 4:00 p.m. (our originally agreed upon time). When I finally came home, not only did they do a nice job with the floors, but they did a nice job cleaning up. There wasn't nearly as much dust as I expected and they put the furniture back in the right spots.
After my initial inspection, I noticed a couple of things that needed to be finished and went over them with Mike during his walk through the following day (there were some job debris left over and a couple spots that needed painting/patching. Nothing serious, but Mike agreed to fix everything for no charge. We scheduled a time for a worker to come out and I even added a couple of other jobs at a discounted price (some additional drywall work and window caulking). My only disappointment is that I have to wait an extra week for the final repairs. This is mostly my fault for adding on extra jobs that will require a whole day at my house, otherwise they'd been done already.
Since I've hired Mike's crew again, you know I like them and I will use them in the future. The prices are excellent and his crew is very professional.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Saint Joseph, 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.
