"Repair was fine (only 3 days out at this point). Bill was $900, no parts and labor breakdown despite asking for part cost upfront and asking again after the service. Googled the part (blower motor), they go for about $150. Took a little over 1 hr of labor. He arrived 1045 and was done just past noon. Likely paid $500-600/hr for labor, which is about 3-4x what it should be. 6/16 update: Got a call from them and the summary of the call was "well you agreed to the quote, didn't you?" and "i don't know where you'd see a blower motor for $150, all of ours are over $800." I checked again today on home depot and granger and they range $80-200. Full blower units can go that high, but that was not what was replaced, as the mechanic himself told me that he dusted off my existing fan."

"Dave was very prompt about scheduling an appointment to meet with us about our electrical work. We had to run 240V out to a detached garage and then install an EV charger. He was very good about following up with us at every step and even told us when he was running late so that we didn't have to be concerned about when he was going to arrive. The electrical work was of excellent quality and the price was definitely reasonable. We will call Dave again when we have electrical work to be done and have already recommended him to neighbors."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Watertown, WI

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.
