I specialize in doing concrete, but I do a little bit everything. I paint, I can install cabinets, vanities, ceiling fans, patio doors, security doors, screens for windows, hang blinds, and home repairs such as fixing wholes in walls, light plumbing like fixing toilets, sink faucets. I am not an electrician but I am knowledgeable on some electrical work. There is a travel charge for anything over 25 miles.

"The Angi Team advised that I leave a 1 star review until this is resolved. I really really do not like to leave bad reviews ever but work is not completed and during the dates agreed to, and this is a rental and I am losing money every day that the work isn't complete. There is some work that needs to be fixed and some that is damaged and needs to be redone. I will remove this negative review once this is all addressed and resolved."

With hundreds of Google 5 star reviews, you can feel confident in our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. “Your Comfort Is Our Emergency!”

"I hired Emergency Air for routine HVAC maintenance. They informed me that my units needed replacement soon and offered a discounted install if I agreed immediately, as they had a cancellation. The discount included a cosmetically damaged return unit, which they disclosed upfront. Although I initially wanted to collect more quotes, their promise to match any "apples-to-apples" offer persuaded me to proceed. Installation happened quickly, but the crew left debris behind (including insulation and a 3' Unistrut), failed to anchor the units properly, and generally gave the impression they didn’t want to be there. Follow-ups were required for several issues: anchoring the units, caulking vents, repairing drywall, and fixing a loosened shelf. These stretched out into November. When I later tried to invoke the apples-to-apples price match, I was told it didn’t apply post-installation—contrary to what I was promised. After persistent follow-up, I was eventually told I had two years to submit comparable quotes. I did exactly that—twice—with valid, lower-cost quotes for the same equipment. Emergency Air stalled responses, rejected the quotes over technicalities (like unsigned documents), and ultimately claimed my lower quotes didn’t offer the same “value.” Their internal comparison was inaccurate—listing services they never performed, such as installing a new condenser pad (they reused the old one). When I raised these concerns, they doubled down, insisting the price difference was justified. A representative even accused me of being unethical for seeking price matching after installation—despite it being part of their sales pitch. After months of delays, broken promises, and evasive communication (including missed calls and ignored emails), I gave up. It took until April to get any resolution, and even that felt like a dismissal. Bottom line: Emergency Air did not honor their own price match policy, misrepresented their services, and showed poor customer service throughout. I would not recommend them to anyone. Always get multiple quotes—don’t make the same mistake I did."

Swamp cooler installations and replacements FAQs

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.
