It's sad how many AC Contractors try so dang hard to sell you a new HVAC systems when your current equipment is perfectly fine. Even 15 to 20-year-old systems can have plenty of life left in them if you care for them properly. We'll replace your old HVAC system when we have to, but not before we have to. Shouldn't we at least try to fix the one you've got with a reasonably priced repair? Keep your hard-earned money in your pocket as long as you can, and hire someone who wants to fix your system right the first time.

We specialize in Maintenance, Service, Repairs and Equipment Installation of All Air Conditioning and heating systems. Ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency to our Phoenix residence and businesses. Our goal is to give the best Quality of Work and Honest Inspections/ Service and be proud to be called your HVAC Company.

"Replacing a 15-year-old HVAC system in Sun City Festival is a big decision, and choosing the right installer is paramount. I received three quotes from well-known, established HVAC companies, but ultimately, I chose EHR Nguyen, and I couldn't be happier. What set them apart was the direct communication and expertise of the person actually doing the installation. Unlike dealing with salespeople and customer service reps at larger companies, EHR Nguyen provided upfront explanations about every aspect of the installation process. This transparency was incredibly comforting. It's often said that the installation is more important than the equipment itself, and EHR Nguyen exemplified this perfectly. They installed a 5-ton Goodman, two-speed, R32 HVAC system with meticulous professionalism. Every step of the process was not only explained to me in detail but also documented with pictures and videos. This level of thoroughness and attention to detail is truly rare. Beyond the exceptional workmanship, the cost was also a significant factor. The quotes I received from the larger companies were between $4,000 and $5,400 more for the same equipment and warranty! EHR Nguyen provided incredible value without compromising on quality. If you're in need of HVAC repair, replacement, or installation, I wholeheartedly recommend EHR Nguyen. Their expertise, transparent communication, and dedication to a flawless installation make them an outstanding choice. Don't let fancy marketing and big company names fool you – the quality of the installation is what truly matters, and EHR Nguyen delivers that in spades. Jerry"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Scottsdale, AZ

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.
