"We have been using Mr. Nash for 15 years to do regular maintenance and servicing for our Real Estate clients.  They do inspections, cleaning, modifications and repairs and they do them completely with no short cuts or disclaimers.
Marv is one of the best oil furnace guys that I know.  Even though there are fewer and fewer of the old "octopus" furnaces around, he has a working knowledge of them that is impressive.  Andy, his son, has inherited the same information. 
This is a "Mom and Pop" business that works.  They are on time.  They don't bring their personal problems with them and they leave a clean, well running furnace behind.... or they give you the information you need to make a change. 
Mr. Nash is a dream team.

"Roth confirmed what we thought was wrong within minutes of looking at our sink. We ultimately decided to replace the faucet ourselves but did hire Roth to address a separate issue we were not aware of to prevent a big problem down the line. The rep was very transparent and worked hard to remove any extraneous fees from the job to keep costs down. He worked quickly and efficiently and now we feel secure knowing we won't have a big leak or frozen pipes next winter."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"Our furnace had stopped working during a serious cold spell and Sunglow was available to come and take a look. The office staff were super helpful and friendly; great communication. I received a text message with the arrival time of the tech and included a photograph, which I thought was a clever idea. The tech arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the issue. After ordering the part, which arrived quickly, they setup another appointment and a very experienced tech came and swapped the part out. I would definitely use Sunglow again and highly recommend them."

"Jared is fantastic! Super prompt scheduling & thorough communication right from the start. He was able to come out much sooner than I expected. He was running a little later than he thought on the day of the appointment & let me know right away, which was fine. He is very personable & knowledgeable, and his work is efficient & clean. No surprise costs, everything was as previously agreed to. Even though I wasn't paying for the furnace or A/C to be cleaned he still took the time to look at them & show me what he found, for future reference. The whole cleaning process only took two hours, and we got to see how filthy everything had been plus the random objects he'd found in the ducts. As a new homeowner of a 'light fixer' I was relieved to have such a painless experience! I am SO GLAD we had this service done and I would hire Jared again or refer him to friends & family in a heartbeat. Highly recommended."

"They did an okay job. My house has shakes and it was pretty apparent that some of them had been removed and puttied over. There were a few places that I asked them to replace the shakes rather than put the old one back on. They broke one of my solar lights so they replaced that for me. They were easy to work with, they worked quickly, and they did a good job. I have no basis of comparison for the price or quality of their work because this is the first time I?ve had this work done."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Scappoose, OR

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.
