With over 10+ years of HVAC and plumbing experience, we are here to address all your heating. cooling and plumbing needs. Ask us about our senior, military, first responder and teacher discounts.

"UNPROFESSIONAL. The owner, Alex, caused numerous delays on our project, totaling 12 business days. On top of that, he increased the written estimate on a line item. I asked for an explanation and he talked in circles and sounded like a used car salesman. That was the tipping point, and he overheard me call him an ahole. Like a child, he instructed his worker to tell me they were walking off the job. Now, our kitchen cabinet installation won't happen in time. Don't hire this company. This owner is immature and not customer-centric."

My specialty is in Heating and Cooling maintenance. I have 23 years experience in sheet metal and maintaining heating and cooling units. I do light plumbing, such as boilers, water heaters and fixtures. I am licensed bonded and insured.

"Patrick and his team, John and Isaac, were amazing. Patrick gave us a reasonable quote and all the work got done in a reasonable timeframe. Patrick remained in close contact throughout the project. We encountered some third party supplier issues (not Patrick's team's fault at all) which caused the project to take a couple extra days, but Patrick stuck to his original quote and ate the substantial extra labor costs. He is honest and trustworthy, and a man of integrity--invaluable in this business!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Santa Fe, NM

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.
