"Freedom Air Mechanical did an amazing job with replacing my boiler. I had 5-6 people come out to give me opinions and Craig was the only one that really took his time to help me find the best boiler for my home. He was very responsive, answer all my questions and concerns, and very importantly I knew he was honest. Out of all the potentials companies I considered, Freedom Air was the only one that gave me options and tried to help me save where I could. I would recommend Freedom Air Mechanical to my family and friends all day."

"This was among the best experiences I have had with any third-party contractor, period. We did an expensive central A/C replacement. Seashore Comfort was knowledgeable, responsive, professional and technically proficient. We needed a 20-year old A/C unit replaced. I called four area HVAC specialists and almost didn't call Seashore because they had relatively few online reviews (although the ones they did have were positive). Turns out the company was started relatively recently by a veteran tech and his wife, who worked locally for a couple of decades. Every aspect of this project was impressive - from the front-office communication to the quoting process to the technical description of what are options were to the quality and craftsmanship of the install. Furthermore, I _almost_ went with a different quote from the local "giant" and that would have been a huge mistake. It took quite a bit of technical research and education on my part but what that company was proposing would not have been the best choice of solution for our application. That would have been a costly, long-term mistake. So, in short, this is a scrappy young company with the all the benefit of experience of a much older company. Proceed without reservation."

"We were very pleased with the communication and the outcome of our project. We have an old home with some older piping. Finding someone that works on steam boilers is tough. When they looked at the install, they explained what needed to happen clearly deand unrstandable."

"It went great, Tyler noted that I was handicapped and made sure that my new toilet was ADA approved. I felt it was a nice detail that many would have overlooked. Tyler paid great attention to detail, my bathroom was as clean after the new toilet was installed as it was before and even having to drag the old one through the house my hard wood floors never got a drop of water on them. He was friendly and very polite. I would definitely call him for our plumbing needs again!"

"It worked out okay, except that I would have anticipated, the cost just gets more. They always find those things, so it starts at $99 and end up spending $300 or $400. People tell me they always find mold inside your air duct, so they have to put a chemical. They call it a total cleaning as opposed to the regular cleaning which I paid for. What they did seemed to have worked. I have suspicions about when they find other things. "

"Scheduling was challenging. On the first attempt, the service guy never arrived. When I called, the scheduler said there was some computer error, apologized, and rescheduled. On the second attempt, the guy came and did the service, then recommended having the expansion tank replaced. I was supposed to get a call to schedule the follow-up service, but never did. I called a few times and left a message, eventually getting a callback from someone who was able to schedule the service. Once again, the first attempt was a flop. They sent out a heating technician, not a plumber, to replace the expansion tank, which he was not certified to do...and he arrived late. On the second attempt, the plumber arrived on-time. He was very professional, efficient, and did great quality work. He made a recommendation for some other plumbing work after I asked him about an issue we had been having. He told me to call the company to schedule the work. Once again, I struggled to even get the service scheduled. This time, I gave up after 3 or 4 tries. I'll be contacting another plumber to get the work done at some point."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Somersworth, NH

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.
