"Seriously the easiest transaction I've ever had! They came the same day to give me a quote, and were at my house the next afternoon to do the install. If I knew how easy and inexpensive this was going to be ( got a brand new swamp cooler installed) I would have hired them years ago! I wish all repair companies were this straightforward with pricing and as easy to deal with."

"Bill came out as scheduled and within the time frame and evaluated my situation. He checked for leaks and told me my furnace was safe. I was greatly relieved and hope to follow up with their company for repairs or replacement in the future. He was very professional and has significant experience in this field. He stated he has been with the company for 25 yrs. I was very pleased with the service."

"Great company to work with. They came out on time and gave me a quote to replace my old fireplace. The guys installed a beautiful fireplace with a blower to help keep my home warm. They also replaced my old mantel with a new one that I picked out. Would use these guys again in the future."

"The team from phone call to installation of a gas heater was a good experience for us. The installation team was very pleasant, polite, effiicient with their timing, installing, explaining, and courteous. Our heater went out over the New Year, and we were without heat for 3 1/2 days. Upfront helped us by bringing out space heaters to keep us from freezing. *5Stars* We recommend this company. "

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Salt Lake City, UT

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.
