"Wonderful customer service at Ledlow's Heating & Air Cond, I worked with them over a month ago to replace my AC Unit and they did a fantastic job! Very quick, pricing was fair, and hard working. In no time I had my new unit installed, very nice experience working with Ledlow's Heating & Air Cond."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"The shower was to be repaired and painted and the floor of the garage was to be Epoxy , walls, ceiling painted The second installment for the project was to be paid when these two items was completed and signed off. On July the 24,2024 I asked to test paint the rooms the new color just to make sure the color would be okay for what I picked out. Nigel agreed to pick up the paint and to test paint before the project was given the green light in an effort to keep the project on track for time. At this time is when I made a comment about the repair in the bathroom did not match the rest of the shower as I felt he was going to paint the complete shower as we had spoken in the past about the repair would not match and I wanted it to match. This is when nines are fresh that I would have to pay more to have the shower pain and he was charging me for the paint samples. I told him to proceed and we would resolve after everything passed inspection. I gave Nigel a pass on the inspection of the floor and to start the rest of the house but the was still problems with the floor. Hi, you said if wants the floor dry if that was any issues, he would take care of it, but it was only because the floor wasn’t dry yet that I was seeing what I saw. Nigel stated he could not paint the garage because the floor was wet and he would take care of it when he was doing the rest of the house and I agreed. On July 28, and then on an express several times about the floor having issues as well as he had the bathroom door locked, and I could not really look at the bathroom shower when it was being done. July 28 I agreed to pay extra fees that he was charging on the first of the month after I got a chance to look at the floor after being dry. I also agree for him to go ahead and start the rest of the house and he picked up the paint on the very next day, July 29. . The same day I made the second payment of three payments for the deposit for him to start the rest of the project and he had picked up the paint to start painting. On August 1 2024 Nigel demanded payment for the floor in the garage and the bathroom shower even though the task has not been completed or he would not start the rest of the household for what she had the second installment of payment to start. This point we had a back-and-forth I sent him the money and told him that this was crazy that we would probably have to end up in court if he did not finish the job and finish it correctly. We had a couple more back-and-forth and he decided that he would take my calls and he would come and complete the job but he wanted to if he wanted to, as we had no contract for his work"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Smiths Station, AL

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.
