"Fontana Brothers installed my new Bosch HVAC system, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Freddie and Shaquille arrived exactly on time, worked efficiently, and left the work area cleaner than it was before they began. Their attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. As a Realtor for more than 30 years, I’ve dealt with many HVAC companies, and Fontana Brothers continues to be one of the very best. They consistently deliver excellent service to both me and my clients, and their pricing remains highly competitive. I trust them completely with my referrals. Special thanks to Dan Fontana, who heads the service department — always organized, responsive, and helpful — as well as the entire office staff, who are consistently friendly and a pleasure to work with. I will absolutely continue to recommend Fontana Brothers to others seeking HVAC installation, repair, or replacement."

"Ken called before he came and got here on time. He was alone as he said his helper was not to be there today. He worked hard. Explained everything about my AC unit inside, air ducts and advised of things I could make it better and also what things my regular service checks should look for. He opened and cleaned the entire ac unit of ducts, sucked out, did each register, cleaned those outside and sucked and cleaned out with a roto brush while sucking. Put all back together. Little mess. I just swept floors and vacuumed a bit. His units to decrease mold installed are so much cheaper than any others! This guy is great and busy. Only Takes checks or cash, but only $199.00 for unlimited ducts /one unit. He works hard and alone took 3 hours! Good work. Sanitize also! House is clean! Thank you ! Telling my Neighbors!"

"Anthony was running a bit behind but called and told us he would be here after 5 pm. He did an outstanding job communicating and figuring out a difficult diagnosis to get my system up and running. He went above and beyond by helping to wrap my refrigerant lines that were deteriorating from age, he also cleaned the condenser coils while checking the system out. Very professional and friendly. also the lady that answers the phone is super nice every time I've ever called her. mostly after hours and of course this time was a holiday call. thanks Weathermakers!!"

"I contacted several a/c places where I had failed attempts of service and loss of money, I eventually ran across West Coast Air and the guy was very professional and prompt with his service. I must say I've had service done plenty of times and my a/c just never blew good enough or it just felt like I had no a/c air at all. He literally was here for 30 mins and the changes to my a/c have been very noticeable for one you can actually feel the cold air unlike other services I have received. I will most definitely be recommending him to my family and friends in the future for services including returning to do mine *this is my second review* not sure if my first one posted not the best at computers."

"The original estimate process was incredibly easy, within an hour I had 3 estimates with varying seer levels. Out of 8 estimates from 8 companies I chose Payne as it had the most valuable option. I was able to get an install nearly next day, and it was done completely within 5 hours, and the installers were extremely polite and professional. I have yet to have any issues with the system, and have purchase the optional labor warranty in case I do."

"After a cold night, turned up the thermostat to heat up the house and after about 1 hour the temperature didn't change.  Checked the breaker to the pump, turned it off, tried to turn it on again and the breaker kept tripping off.  I called Jim Morris on Sunday morning and he came by a few hours later and called me (as promised) when he was on his way.  This cost a bit more than his normal service charge (being a Sunday and it was an emergency service).  The heating system is working great now!
I've used this company the last 6-7 years for other repairs and maintenance check ups and am very happy with their pricing, professionalism and punctuality.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Sydney, FL

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.
