Bourque Mechanical is family owned & operated since 1986!Our main gaol is to be honest with the customer..Give us a call for an estimate,for service or for a question and we will be happy to help you out! Award winning.

"Bourque service representatives are always prompt, efficient, careful to clean up and knowledgeable. i just had the most wonderful experience with Bourque Mechanical My Furnace People. and Shane Flint, owner.  On a Sunday, this long term customer  sent an email inquiry about my air conditioning unit not cooling; Shane not only answered my email  on a Sunday but came in person to check on Monday.  Shane checked everything, even told me how to order the filters online and replace them myself. After inspecting the furnace and all the vents indoors, turns out  the AC unit still works - "someone " had opened the outside switch cover pulled out the throttle handle and turned it off. i would love to have taken fingerprints !!!!! Didn't need a new AC unit -- my very lucky day. Plus, Shane  is an authority on the new frontier of mini splits and an experienced installer as I look to the future technology.--"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
