"Outstanding customer service from Marc and the owner Todd. First they responded to the request within minutes, set up a time were at my home in a little over an hour. Identified the issue in minutes and started to make the repair. In least than an hour we had AC restored. Todd spent time with me and went over all the new products to replace my 25 year old system thats on its last legs. Sent his designer to my home and hour later and Rusty had a quote for a full replacement of 2 units in the future. Repair price was very fair and totally upfront with the cost, no hidden fees or tac ons. These guys were friendly and polite and a high end crew who really probably didnt need to take such a small job but myself and my family thank you Todd and Marc !! I will be recommending to friends and neighbors in the future."

Welcome to All Seasons Home Comfort Solutions! We look forward to serving you!

"Good Seasons Home Comfort Solutions exceeded all my expectations! Both of our existing HVAC units died within one week of each other during the heat of the summer, so I needed help quickly. The owner, Kurtis, came out promptly, and I was immediately impressed by how professional and easy to work with he was. He provided affordable and comprehensive solutions for my needs, carefully evaluating the setup and making thoughtful recommendations. Kurtis and his team worked around my Airbnb bookings without any issues, which was a huge relief. The installers were polite, professional, and kept everything clean as they worked. Their attention to detail was exceptional—they left the worksite spotless and even added a rock border around the units, which was a polished and thoughtful touch. They installed a heat pump for the upstairs, AC with a gas furnace for the main floor, and a mini-split in the basement. On top of their excellent work, Kurtis also helped me coordinate with other contractors for related projects, including installing a gas line and upgrading both of my electrical panels. This level of service made the entire process so much less stressful. Now, my house is comfortable, and everything looks and runs fantastic. Throughout the process, Kurtis and his team were responsive, knowledgeable, and patient. Before the project began, Kurtis took the time to thoroughly explain my options, address my concerns, and discuss financing, which made me feel confident in my decision. They truly treated me like family, and their dedication to top-notch customer service was exceptional. It’s clear they genuinely care about their work and their clients. If you’re looking for a competent team that delivers quality, professionalism, and an unmatched level of care - and also helps you save money, I highly recommend Good Seasons. They are simply the best!"

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.
