"We have had problems with our high velocity system since we purchased our Victorian, nine years ago. We have had nearly every RI heating and air company in our house over that time, since the high velocity SpacePak systems, for the second and third floors, were loud, with gushing wind noise all year long, as they ran constantly, and the need for constant repairs during the summer AC season was really quite beyond reason. One company actually told us that the spacepak air handlers should be completely removed and reinstalled! So, we believed him, and, at great expense, had everything for the top two floors, reinstalled, with the exact same results as before! Finally, in August, the master bedroom, third floor air handler died in 90 degree weather. I had had enough and went onto Angie’s list. I decided on Ocean State Air Solutions, in Portsmouth, RI, which had the highest rating, and decided to hold my breath, and give them a chance. Craig, the owner came by, and proceeded to do a thoughtful, professional inspection; decided on installing a Unico, variable speed air handler for just the third floor, to see how we liked it. Craig also added a large supply vent in the rear of the third floor, where it tended to be too cold in the winter, and the opposite in the summer. It took them four days to install, and the work was on time, professional and spotlessly carried out! We were told what was to be done to the smallest detail. Well, we have never had such comfortable heat in the master bedroom without the “cold spots”, which existed with the previous system. And the noise was reduced by a third, which was an added bonus since the variable air handler does not keep running endlessly, as the previous system did, so the noise is even less, as a result! We are planning on having the second floor spacepak replaced with the Unico, as well! We cannot wait to see how the AC works in the summer! I cannot recommend Ocean State Air Solutions highly enough! The entire staff is professional, conscientious and they know their business."

"Philip and his crew did such a wonderful job installing a new heat pump system in my home, I later hired them to install a power vented hot water heater. Philip and his crew did an excellent job, which included venting the unit up directly through my roof (since venting out the side of the house was not an option). I have great trust and confidence in Philip and his crew. They are timely, professional, skillful, and know what they are doing."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Saunderstown, RI

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.
