"Excellent service from John Moore! This review goes across the board to capture all those involved from the initial call for service to the final step of installation/replacement. We’ve used John Moore Services for several things in the past three months and once again they did not disappoint. Great customer service, pricing, speed and efficiency in installation! Highly recommend!!"

"A very smooth transaction. Matt showed up one morning and Omar and crew showed up the next morning and by noon I had cold air blowing in the house again. This entailed demolition of the upper unit, removing the thermostat and the outside unit. They then installed all the new equipment and hung the duct work. This is a professional operation that was attentive to my concerns , they were transparent and honest in their pricing and timely delivered on their promise. I highly recommend The Woodlands AC if you find yourself in need anything AC or heating related. Top notch!!! Additionally, I did my research (I am a police detective) and determined that Trane is the industry's best product and that The Woodlands AC is a proven company with a solid track record in meeting and surpassing customer's needs and concerns."

"I depend on Evolution Services. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt. They have repaired my washer, cleaned the dryer vent (we do this annually), and they installed a built in double oven, gas cooktop, microwave, and 3 new dishwashers. I have used them at two different homes. They even helped find me a great deal in a replacement when my dishwasher died 18 months out of warranty. I HIGHLY recommend!"

I have a 2002 Camaro that's still in great condition thanks to Colony One --I've been a repeat customer for several years - as has my mom and her Toyota.  The technicians are courteous, skilled, helpful and honest -- if I hear a noise and they can't find a problem, they don't try to make up a problem that would require an expensive repair.

They have a courtesy vehicle that takes me home and comes to retrieve me when repairs are done, so I don't have to find my own ride or hang around all day -- very helpful.

As a 69 year-old 'little old lady,' I find it comforting and reassuring to deal with a business that treats me fairly and with respect. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs car work done --

"I originally asked Stacey for a quote last March, when I had to have some pipework done under the house and I thought I might be able to roll them in together and save some money. That didn't work out, so I had to put off the renovation. I recently had a hip replaced and am about to have the other replaced and it's very difficult to manage showers with the old setup. I decided to ask Stacey if he was available although it was very short notice. (I think he fit me in within less than three weeks.) Stacey's quote was $7500 and he stayed with this same price although six months had passed. The price included demo, providing and installing hardie board, laying the shower floor, building the shower frame, building a chair-height bench, providing and installing a new toilet and vanity, providing and installing a new light/fan/heat combination, installing miscellaneous bathroom hardware (that I provided - towel rack and toilet paper holder), installing a large mirror (that I provided) to replace the medicine cabinet, providing and installing new floor tile, new shower floor and wall tile including an accent tile, providing and installing new shower fixtures, providing and installed a new glass shower door, providing paint and painting everything that wasn't tiled including the linen closet. (I think that's everything!) The work took just shy of seven days. In everything, Stacey went above and beyond. (I was surprised that he worked with the crew and worked very hard.) Most of all, he managed my expectations very well. I was concerned about the shower door because the only kind I could remember seeing were the frameless, hinged style, and the sliding door he chose had a frame at the top and bottom (not in the middle). At first I really wanted those entirely frameless doors, but thank God he talked me down. In such a small bathroom, they would have been a nightmare. The towel rack that I ordered from that big online retailer arrived with the end open, and Stacey discovered that one of the screws was missing (and the hole stripped), so I'm guessing this item had actually been returned and then re-sent to me. Stacey did a workaround and it looks beautiful. He also was very helpful in guiding me with choices. There are so many choices out there in tiles and paint colors and EVERYTHING that I nearly shut down just trying to pick out accent tile. He provided paint cards so I could choose colors. Finally, he knew I had some blinds in my front window that I had installed improperly and now (recovering from the surgery) am not able to fix myself. He installed these for me as well! I just really couldn't be happier with the work. I highly recommend Calahan Construction. FYI, I asked Stacey if he does floor tile for the rest of the house (he does) and I am looking forward to working with him again on this project in the coming months."

"Cannot recommend these guys enough.  Our AC started cooling poorly (couldn't get it below 80 degrees) due to leak in evaporator coil a couple months after moving in to our house.  We had a home warranty so tried to work through it with their contractors, which went awful.  

After deciding to pick our own company, we saw how great the reviews were for The AC Guy and gave them a call.   They came out, and agreed that the coil needed to be replaced and gave us a quote for just replacing the coil, or for replacing the whole system.  There prices were upfront and very reasonable, no bait and switch with a bunch of up charges later. Our home was built with an undersized system and was approaching 11 years old, so we decided to get a full replacement and upgrade to full 5 ton unit (we had a 3.5 ton condenser).  

I called Rachel back the next day (Saturday) and told her of our decision.  They were busy on emergency calls, so to get a new system installed they couldn't come out early the next week.  But she did have a technician stop by and give our current R22 system a charge (at no cost!), and that thankfully helped the house cool down over the weekend until they could replace the system.  The tech was on time, profession, and polite.

On the day they came to replace our system, once again they were on time, profession and courteous.  They cleaned up after themselves and left the house in good condition.  AC works great, much better than it did even when it wasn't broken.  Can now keep the house on 70 degrees and it doesn't even have to be running the whole time vs previously it ran constantly and couldn't come close to getting the house that temperature.  

Rachel also helped us with getting itemized receipts showing what the work would have be for just the evaporator coil replacement, since of course the home warranty companies never want to pay fair prices.  

Overall, I highly recommend this company. Honest people doing honest work.

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in The Woodlands, TX

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.
