"Their technician, Justin came out and assessed the situation, quickly discovering the true source of the problem: the wire bundle that connects the system with the thermostat on the wall and been chewed through by rodents apparently, and this was causing the system to quit. He offered to replace the wiring and do a service on the roof mounted AC condenser unit, which we agreed to. Total cost was a fraction of what we had paid the previous company to not even discover or fix! We would wholeheartedly recommend the services of this excellent company."

"We needed our 16-year-old HVAC unit replaced, so I narrowed my Angie's List search down to seven Heating & Air Conditioning companies. The ones I chose all had an "A" rating with good reviews. Of those companies, two of them never returned my call, and one didn't work in Los Angeles (it's in Burbank but doesn't work in LA--go figure!). When I called Air-Tech, Heather, the Administrative Assistant, answered the phone--very friendly--and scheduled an appointment. Alex Fish was the Comfort Specialist that came to our home. He was on time, and called me on the road to let me know exactly when he'd arrive. Alex is very knowledgeable; studied every room, looked in the attic where our furnace is located, and examined our condenser and its power supply. Then we sat down and he showed us an illustrated booklet of a house that describes just how an HVAC unit works in a typical home. He walked us through the different systems and gave my wife and me options. He called the office to see if we qualified for an LADWP rebate and a Lennox rebate. We did. None of the other companies we'd seen were this thorough. Before he left, he had written out a detailed proposal including model numbers, what they do, the all-new gas piping, and drain and refrigeration line specifics, etc. Alex was the only person we had seen that wrote a complete proposal before he left the premises. A few days later, I called Alex with additional questions, and he talked to me for 20 minutes answering every question and concern I had. The job took a week to complete, and Carlos and his team covered the work area each day, were very professional and cleaned up at the end of the day, like they had never been there. Many of the technicians have been with Air-Tech for years. To me, that really says something about the company. My wife and I decided to go the permit route. Air-Tech pulled the permits, scheduled the duct testing (we passed), and Heather informed me of what was required with respect to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and their proximity to any ceiling fans in our house. Because of her heads-up and the outstanding workmanship of the Air-Tech team, final inspection was a breeze. Two techs even came out to double-check everything before the inspector arrived. I can't say enough about Air-Tech. A company that is honest, professional, and does excellent work. For any heating or air conditioning needs, Air-Tech cannot be beat."

"HD Mechanical did an excellent job. After trying to fix my water heater, the tech offered me two solutions, the first to repair the old unit and the second to replace it. I chose to replace the unit because it was 20 years old. He was able to return in two days and spend many hours at my home. The tech was courteous, professional, explained everything and made sure everything was working properly before he left."

"I own a laundry and needed two new swamp coolers. I called DNA and Andrew came out and from our first meeting was very professional. He was knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions which put me at ease. These guys did a bang up job. They were clean and made short work of removing my old units and installing of the new ones. I would highly recommend DNA for future work."

"Cal Climate Corp had been keeping my very old ac system alive for the past 3 years at a reasonable price and with excellent service. Bob and Tom are honest and conscientious so when the time came to replace the entire ac system, I was happy that they were available to do the work...particularly in the midst of another sweltering Southern California summer. The quoted price was much less than I anticipated, the work was completed in one day, and I was perfectly comfortable leaving them to do the work unattended. I returned home to find my home as clean as when I left it...and, thankfully, much cooler. I recommend them unreservedly."

"Initially I considered having to pay $8000-ish for a replacement unit. Robert Alfonso saved the day, however. Well trained by LA Tech, and professional from start to finish, Robert diagnosed and resolved my wiring and capacitor issue quickly. The fix was $485 not $8000 to replace the unit. These guys are legit. Great result. Robert "Doctor" Alfonso rocked it."
This is the outdoor unit that offers 17 SEER Hyper efficiency and super quiet operation of 54db's compared to 80 plus on older units
notice the low profile, this is about 14 inch wide instead of the traditional 36 wide.

"Excellent customer service. Made two systems operate and gave important knowledge of the future life of these 15 or more year old systems and how they will need to be repaired or likely replacement once the new environmental laws on Freon goes into effect in 2020"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Sylmar, CA

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.
