"I had a hose bib outside that was older and began leaking.  I read the positive reviews and called Rob for the job.   He replaced the hose line and also placed a shutoff valve inside the house.  Great work, very professional.  Will use again for any jobs needed."

"They came to do the cleaning and they quoted us to replace the system, which they said needed to be done. Their price was way too high. They didn’t actually do the cleaning. But we had another company install the new system."

"Repairman, Andrew, came and located the problem. The ignitor had burned out, so the burners would not light. Andrew did not have the part in his truck but was able to fit in a used part from another furnace to give me heat until he got the other part. I got a call the next day and scheduled a time to put in the exact part. Again, repairman was within the stated time window. Heat working well."

"It Went Very Well!!  They were very helpful.  The window in my apartment is located in an alcove in my studio apartment which makes it very complicated.  They lead me in the right direction. Installed an awesome unit!!  Would definitely use them again and recommend them highly!!!!!!!

"The gentlemen from Green Ductors were incredibly professional and clearly explained the problem to us. They explained different options that we had and gave us an estimate for each. We decided to have them install a new dryer vent, and our dryer has been working wonderfully ever since! They even sent us a document with before and after pictures. We would definitely hire them again."

"Computer had been acting up for a while but I kept putting off getting it fixed.  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to give N.A.T.S. a call.  So glad I did.   Jim was able to resolve all my problems remotely - no drop off or pick up necessary - so convenient!  I feel like I have a brand new computer, it runs so well and FAST too.  I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.  My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner.

"Paul came over to inspect existing conditions and provide two options on replacement equipment. I chose to go with the Navien NCB-240E unit to replace both water heater and boiler since both were at or near the end of service life. Installation was scheduled for about 2 weeks later, and Paul's crew show up on time, and proceeded to make quick work of the demo, in a clean and safe manner. The new Navien unit hangs on a wall, and after spending the rest of the day repiping and rewiring, I was pleasantly surprised to see all the free space where my old units used to reside, and the extremely neat and compact installation now condensed in a small corner of my basement. Very please with the efficiency, cleanliness and professionalism of Paul's crew, and would definitely hire them again."

"It went so well. Omar is highly professional, extremely skilled and fantastically knowledgeable. He worked quickly and efficiently and explained everything that he was doing. He even took the time to answer other question we had about the house's electrical set-up. He installed the box outlet, and, cleaned out the electrical on the back of the dryer unit - it turns out when the dryer was installed, it was hard-wired to the house and a few connections had come loose. These were rubbing against a metal plate on the back of the dryer, cause some wear, some melting, and some misdirection of the electrical charge (to the heating element, as the drum turned just fine). That morning, it had cause some sparks and pops! Omar cleaned it up, made it safe, installed the box and now the dryer makes heat, has not sparked, and is safely connected to the electric supply for the house, through a box and chord. We couldn't be happier - especially since he saved us literally hundreds of dollars on a new machine! Thank you Omar!

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Sussex, NJ

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.
