"Excellent responsiveness and quickly was able to identify the problem and advise that replacement was my best option given the age/efficiency of the current system, coolant type, and possible cost of repairs."

"1) Install a 40 gallon water heater 2) Remove the old one 3) Add a platform to elevate the new water heater for draining purposes 4) Install an electrical disconnect (the previous one was outside) 5) Install a water disconnect 6) Add pipes so that both the pressure release valve and the drain at the bottom could drain outside. 7) Drill through the wall so those pipes would reach outside. 8) Make serious adjustments to the existing piping to accommodate the newly raised water heater. I think that pretty much covers it... The service professional was great. Very informative and friendly, worked efficiently, and kept us filled in on what he was doing. He left the area around the water heater cleaner than he found it. They diagnosed and replaced the water heater on the same day I requested the work. The dispatcher was kind and informative and the final price was very close to the original estimate she provided. I would definitely recommend their services. And the whole water heater area looks so much more organized and neat then it did before. The price is high compared to a standard water heater replacement, but like I said, we needed a lot of updates. Price includes the new unit and all supplies."

"The air was out in one of our rental houses and we have used Tuck and Howell in the past for our personal home and always had wonderful experiences. We called them and within the hour they were at our rental house figuring out the problem and it was Sunday we couldn't believe how fast and urgent they were to get there after hours! They were very polite and urgent to find and fix the problem! We were very impressed and would recommend them to anyone who has any HVAC needs or problems!

"Everything was perfect. I left a voicemail and he called me back within minutes. We discussed my problems and he understood my computer gibberish. He came to my house to pick up the laptop. He notified me that night about the cost of the replacement parts and length of shipping. He then contacted me when my computer was fixed. He delivered it to my house.

"As the panic set in, we were concerned about what could be mold coming through our HVAC system. I called to have it checked out and Stefanos B from Corley came to our rescue! Of course all of the standard safety and courtesy steps were taken; email with picture of my technician and time estimate phone called were done. Stefanos came to the door and introduced himself and then did exactly what I wanted him to do, he listened to my thoughts and concerns. He even paraphrased and asked questions to ensure he heard and understood correctly. He then proceeded to do his work and inspection. When completed, he first explained that there was no emergency and what he found. We were over proactive, reducing our air flow. He explained 3 options to us and the positive and negative of each. We decided to have someone look at replacing the system first, if not that he has two other options we can do. We understood and felt at ease, he has our back going forward. Highly recommended!"

They were very respectful and professional. I couldn't be happier with this experience and the price was very fair!"

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Simpsonville, SC

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.
