"Fantastic!!! They are exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, kind, very diligent and take a wholistic approach to solving your problem. They’ve done a variety of work for us and our family, and have always found or build the best solution while being conscientious of affordability. Our house was built in 1950 with hot water heat and no a/c. They rerouted and eliminated many pipes to streamline the heating system (which was an amazing feat!) and also figured out how to install a regular forced air a/c system, including hand made ducts so we didn’t have to incur the expense of multiple individual mini splits. They worked ceaselessly to ensure we had our brand new a/c for our sons wedding in August!!! Everyone greatly appreciated their hard work and dedication!! Especially the Bride and Groom!!! The other plus about Sideco is they are family owned and currently operated by three generations! Working with family can be a challenge but they all sincerely respect each other and utilize the blending of their different levels of experience as well as their variety of knowledge to fully benefit each of their customer’s projects. You will only go right with Sideco! We highly recommend them for all of your heating and cooling needs!!!"

Family owned & operated. Additional email - PO Box 3492, Erie PA 16508. Award winning.

"Installed November 2021. We needed follow up service visits to adjust system properly. Following installation/service visits, we realized that 3 binders containing collectible autographs and trading cards were missing. They were accounted for prior to boiler installation/service follow up visits by Preece Heating and Cooling. They were missing immediately following installation/service visits. Attempts to correct/compensate/resolve the matter with Preece proved unsuccessful. Although a representative of Preece pledged to investigate the theft of our possessions, nothing occurred. This representative stated that workers who installed/serviced our boiler system denied any culpability in the theft of the 3 binders. This individual no longer responds to my communications. Therefore, if you employ this concern, I strongly recommend that you have surveillance cameras sweeping the work area and/or maintain a physical presence through the installation/service visit process. We had no surveillance and trusted the Preece workmen. As a result of our naivety, we lost over $1000 worth of collectibles."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Waterford, PA

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.
