"The overall service was very good. This is a new home (3 yrs old) they did not get as much as I thought but overall did pull a lot of dust and debris out.
I would recommend them doing this, I have cut my dust down by about 70%. Usually I would dust in the morning, within hour or 2 the dust would be back and thick. Now I dust in the morning and by the next day I barely see any dust. So I am pleased w/the service I had and would recommend them again.

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"Matt was exceptional in his overall knowledge, installation and coordination of my project. He was friendly, informative with fast responses and great follow through. We switched from propane heating to natural gas which Indiana required a plumber's line test and us needing other new appliances at the same time. Matt was instrumental in partnering with my plumber and others during this major switch. I am so thankful to have found him and highly recommend Jacobs because of his talents."

"Ronnie and his team at Bennett Home Specialist have done both AC and Heating installs at our home. They were at house 24 hours after being contacted and AC and Furnace replacements were done the very next day. The work was fast and done perfectly. Their list of services and competitive rates makes it easy and convenient to hire them for future needs. Highly recommend Bennet Home Specialist."

"It went fine.  I had one situation where they put vent on the top of the roof but on backwards and they replaced it. Overall, they did a good job cleaning it but that was a little reckless, I thought, a little careless. They did a good job cleaning the lint out but the only problem I had was the way they put the vent back on. "

"Handyman Matters did a great job of repairing very large hole in finished basement drywall including painting to match existing color.  Also installed vanity / sink / light fixture / mirror / baseboard / towel racks in bathroom plus painting the room.  Looks great, price was reasonable, and quality of work was very high.  The company was very efficient in producing quotes and meeting the promised schedule.

"I had no issues with Sears. Everything was taken care of just like they said. Then explained how the system works and things I needed to check. Kelly from Sears called about 3 or 4 times to tell me when they will start and then checked to make sure it did. She gave me her number and told to her if if any addl help was needed on her end. The two men that came out and put the system in and did a great job. They did very little talking to each other while working. This gave me a good feeling beacuse they knew what to do without talking it other. Very little going in and out of the house to complete the work. Everything went well, Thank you,"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Union, KY

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.
