"Two men, Jerry and Tommy, arrived on the morning of May 19, 2017 to install the system. Tommy dug a hole on one side of the house, poured a concrete foundation in said hole, and also set up metal tubing, which created a stand on which the condenser sits to protect it from runoff. Meanwhile, Jerry was inside, drilling holes through my bedroom and dining room interior and then exterior walls for the refrigerant pipes which run from the condenser to the air handlers. He mounted each air handler high up on the wall. There was also electrical work performed to connect the units to the main panel in the basement. The whole job took several hours. Both men worked quickly and efficiently. At the close of it, Jerry presented me with my remotes and instructions, and showed me the basics. I used the system for the first time just a couple of nights after installation. The first night (it was the start of a heat wave) the air from the system was cool-ish - tolerable, but not quite as comfortable as I'd hoped - but I was still uncertain about the controls so I didn't tab down the temperature. The second night I did tab down the temperature, and that's when I found out that, though the fans and vanes in both air handlers worked, the cooling mechanisms did not. Considering the amount of money I'd just spent i was more than a little upset. Visions of law suits danced in my overheated head that night. I called the next morning. Jerry came out that day and diagnosed the problem (something to do with the solenoids, or maybe it was the thermistors). In any case, he did fix it, and this time, it worked as designed, and has done so ever since. I should add that NETR offers a service contract. Despite the added expense - for me, 234.99 a year for 3 years (the annual rate is fixed for that period, plus I get a 5% discount) - it makes total sense to have this complex system undergo periodic maintenance. I will pay the total at the time of the first inspection, in 2018."

"We needed our boiler replaced and had multiple companies come and look at the job. We ended up selecting Sila as we read good reviews on the company. Sila surpassed our expectations. The tech who performed the install (Gage) was on time, communicated the entire process to us from start to finish and did a tremendous job. He also made sure to clean up afterwards and was very professional. We would absolutely hire Sila again!"

"Peter and Billy installed a mini-split a/c system in my home recently. There were 3 head units on 3 different floors. They arrived on time, discussed the work with me, and explained what they were doing when I would pop in to check on the progress. It was a two-day installation with rain on the first day and heat/humidity on the second. Throughout both days both Peter and Billy remained of good cheer, working efficiently, without a grumble about the weather. An electrician, Chris, joined them on the second day and completed his work quickly. He even took the time to tack up a dangling powerline in the drop ceiling of the basement that wasn't part of the a/c install. Mid-afternoon on the second day everything was complete. Peter walked me through the work they had done, inside and outside. He asked if I had any questions or concerns. I'm very happy with the work that was done and would recommend them to anyone who asked."

"The personable owner, Tony Del Papa, came out to give us
an estimate for installing exhaust fans in our bathroom. Since we
hadn't bought the fans yet, it was helpful that he told us what to
look for and suggested a particular brand. We then ordered fans
through Lowe's.
The company was prompt with returning calls and providing a written
estimate in the mail.
Once we had an appointment with the company that was going to vent the
fans, we scheduled Village Electric to come out several days before
that day.The two workers who came out were courteous and arrived within the
hour time window we expected them. We tested out the fans and they
worked fine, but we waited until they were vented to the outside to
actually use them.
The quality of the electrical work performed was good, but we had a
couple of minor issues, which is the reason that we gave a B for
professionalism. To install the fans, the workers had to go into the attic.
They had to move some insulation from the attic floor
and did not roll it back into place when they were done, and the
insulation batting covering the attic hatch mysteriously disappeared.
 
Also, a piece of ceiling that needed to be cut out was left in the
attic instead of being discarded. Replacement of the junction box for
the master bathroom light/fan switches caused a ceramic towel bar to
partly detach from the wall.
We have used Village Electric several times before, and this is the
only time anything like this has happened. We informed
them about it and don't expect to have any future problems, so we will
use them again.

"They do a little extra work to fill up the coolant and stuff like that. We have been using their services for about four years. They installed the system. We had the system for awhile. They're nice I have no complaints."

"They first came out to do a routine check and informed us of what we should / needed to do to have our fire place perform better. The quote they provided was very reasonable. We decided to install a rain cap after the sweep and getting an appointment was very easy. The technician arrived early and completed the work quickly."

"I initially contacted one of the big plumbing companies in the area for an estimate to install my new hybrid hot water heater.  The estimate that I received was exorbitantly high.  I called Peter Zereski and he immediately got back to me with a much more reasonable and appropriate estimate.  Once the heater was delivered, I contacted him again and he promptly set up an appointment to install.
Everything went very smoothly with installation. Peter was professional, courteous, and a really nice guy.  He facilitated a permit and inspection of the installation with the town.  Any questions that I had were quickly answered via email.  
I was very pleased with Peter Zereski.  He was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely call him in the future for any plumbing needs that we may have.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Still-river, MA

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.
