"THIS COMPANY EMPLOYS EXTREMELY TRUSTWORTHY EMPLOYEES THAT ARE A PLEASURE TO HAVE IN YOUR HOME. THE CARPENTER WE HIRED AT THE SAME TIME WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WORK AND KNOWLEDGE, THAT HE HAS USED HIM ON OTHER JOBS HE HAS BEEN HIRED TO DO. THEY ALWAYS CLEANED UP AFTER THEIR WORK, THEY WERE COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL OF OUR HOME AND FAMILY, AND WERE VERY PUNCTUAL. SINCE THEY HAVE INSTALLED OUR SYSTEM, WE HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEMS OTHER THAT 'USER PROBLEMS' (I.E., NOT CHANGING FILTERS FREQUENTLY ENOUGH). HOWEVER, WHEN WE DO CREATE OUR OWN PROBLEMS, THEY HAVE RESPONDED VERY QUICKLY TO OUR NEEDS AND THEIR PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR."

"Used Sila for two central AC installations and misc repair calls. Quotes for the installations were probably not the lowest available but I have been impressed with the skill and efficiency of their technicians and they have always been very responsive on any service calls. Installations were very well done and unique challenges met with intelligent strategies. I rate Sila highly and would certain use them again."

"My sump pump float became dis-attached and was not operating correctly.  I called to have someone come out as soon as possible - and was referred by another plumbing company to Aqua.  The workers arrived within an hour, which was nice because I was needing to bail water and had to get to work.  They diagnosed correctly that the pump was disattached and reattached it so the pump would work.  They would have likely left and not charged me at that point.  The pump is old, plastic and finicky -  there is nothing like living with the uncertainty of it failing during a heavy rainfall.  They indicated it would be a good idea to replace the pump ... and I had been feeling that way for some time.  It is 5 years old.
They were going to come back the next day, but discovered that a local distributer had 2 pumps in stock.  They went out and had it installed within 30 minutes.  It is a nicely constructed solid cast iron pump with a float on a rigid pole.  It comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and a one year installation warranty through Aqua.  I don't think the speed of response and installation could have gone better.  I do not know the average for sump pump installation.  The pump itself likely cost under $150.  But, I did not wish to attempt the installation.  So, I'll give it an A, as I believe it is likely at least an average price for the job.  And I have a lot of peace of mind.

"Within an hour of purchasing the advertised special, Henry from B A R called us to set up an appointment for service. He seemed knowledgeable and showed up promptly to our appointed time. After working on the unit for about an hour he determined that the unit had died and there was no hope reviving it - it was 14 years old after all. WIthin a few days Henry was back and installed our new unit. Around the time he installed our unit, our second unit died. We had him replace it as well. The work was done in a timely manner and we have been completely satisfied. We would definitely hire B A R Appliances again for our HVAC needs."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in West Friendship, MD

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.
