"I had a gas furnace, A/C and thermostat installed. I went through a long process deciding who to hire. After checking credentials, reviews, testimonials and interviewing four contractors, I chose Brandon Heating and Air Conditioning. Adam came out and explained everything from load calculations to the install process. The technicians were professional, courteous and polite. They wore shoe covers, put down tarp and worked diligently until the job was complete. They did a thorough clean-up. I highly recommend Brandon Heating and Air."

"Matt and his team were incredible. Not only did he come out the next day to quote me on a new AC System install, but he was responsive to text and emails, professional and VERY reasonable on costs/install for a new system, compared to other local HVAC installers. Within a week, I was able to get my system replaced and am very happy with the level and quality of service and professionalism from his guys. Miro was the main technician who handled the installation and was efficient, courteous and took the time to explain everything. A+ and 10/10 Highly recommended, I will certainly be using him again for any and all my HVAC needs!"

"I called Mark on a Tuesday about my old furnace which was acting up. He came over THAT AFTERNOON and with the information he gave me, I decided that it was time to replace it. On Thursday of that week I came home from work and the new unit was installed! Mark and his crew are professional, clean and knowledgeable. I have great peace of mind knowing that they did the work and that I paid a fair price."

"Having used Apple Heating and Cooling in the past, I continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the people, from the office to the installers.  Because the outdoor unit was being relocated, there were certain access issues related to running the electric and line set connections (the house has no basement).  They were able to re-route all the connections to the outside unit without having to open up any finished interior walls or ceilings.  The price wasn't the lowest bid received, but was very competitive.  Overall, very pleased with the installation and equipment."

"This was a replacement of old furnace and a/c.  Quality scheduled the dates almost 2 weeks in advance, showed up exactly on time, and accomplished the job in less than the 2 days they allowed for it.  They sent 2 techs the first day to break down the old furnace and a/c, haul it out of the basement, and install the new equipment.  The second day 1 tech came and finished the set-up in a half day.  Both young men were professional, courteous and great on small details.  They cleaned up after everything they did.  The owner of the company, Rick, came in a few days later and went over the operation of the Bryant systems in detail and answered my questions fully.  I've run both a/c and heat with no problems.  I worked in the Building industry for over 30 years-these guys are top notch.

"The salesman was very knowledgeable about the product. I was super impressed with the installers. They were punctual, knew their product, kept everything clean, and were professional. I did experience sticker shock, though. I was surprised that I didn't receive a follow up call from the company after installation. I paid for an extension on my breaker, which I didn't need and wasn't done. I left a message with my salesman and did not receive a call back. I spent a small fortune, and expected better customer service. If I were grading on installation alone, I'd give them an A+. But the lack of a follow up was disappointing."

"I was looking for quotes for a new furnace since mine was over 20 years old and failed, so decided to have it replaced along with the matched central air conditioner unit. I got estimates from several heating and cooling companies but ultimately gave the job to RTT Heating and Cooling, LLC . Ryan came out quickly, looked at my units and answered all my questions to give me the best options for both cost and reliability for a new complete system. Ryan was very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He didn’t try to sell me stuff I didn’t need like others. His office contacted me and we scheduled a date to replace the units. Ryan sent out Tommy and Tyler , these guys removed the old Furnace and Air unit and Professionally installed the new ones, They were quick, professional, courteous and answered all questions. I couldn’t of asked for a better team of people including the office personal Nicolina, who was all so very professional and prompt. All I can say If you’re looking for a GREAT heating and cooling company to work on or replace your furnace and/or air, then Give Ryan a call! I highly recommend him, OH! and his pricing was fantastic and offered great quality equipment ! Thank You all at, RTT Heating and Cooling ! John"

"Purchased through Costco which uses Weatherking as their local contractor. The Costco purchase involved a little more paper work and payment upfront but saved 10% and was explained upfront and was a smooth transaction. Sales and Techs were all very professional. Sales was clear and provide multiple options and was not pushing the highest price one. Install went smoothly and was started and completed on time. They came back a couple months later to start the AC since the it was too cold during the install and were able to do so quickly after I called to schedule."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Stow, OH

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.
