"I was shocked at how inexpensive replacing both my air conditioner and heater was by getting them done at the same time and also with the pay by check discount. The order cost me much less than I thought it would so I upgraded to the middle option. They offered a new water heater for less than $200 more installation included. Wow. Everyone that I dealt with (phone / quote / installers were super friendly. I was afraid to choose a company for such an expensive purchase so I went with the one with the most personal recommendations. I'm so happy that I did."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"My air conditioner stopped working on Sunday. I found the coupon for a free diagnostic service and called them Monday morning at 7:30. They were polite on the phone and made an appointment for between 12:00 and 2:00 the same day. They showed up right around noon and quickly got to work. They listened to my description of the problem and were able to narrow it down to either a bad capacitor or bad fan motor. They quickly disassembled the unit to test the capacitor and motor to find a bad capacitor. They had the part on the truck and was able to immediately install a replacement. My air conditioning was operational by 1:00!"

"It went so much better than expected. Over the phone, other plumbing companies quoted us $1,000 - $1,500 to do the work and replace the valve. When I talked with Seth, on the phone, he offered to come over within a couple of hours, ON A SUNDAY!, and take a look at the problem. Upon arrival he assessed the situation and determined only the center piece of the valve needed to be replaced. There would be no reason to replace the entire valve, tear up the wall/tiles to do the work. He had to access the crawl space (the entire length of the house!) to get to the water shut off valve...and did this 3 times in freezing weather! He was in and out of our house, with the valve fixed and fixture replaced within 1 hour! And he didn't charge us an additional fee for coming out on a Sunday! Seth was very professional, but a down to earth guy. I would recommend him and Driggs Plumbing, in a heartbeat!!"

Swamp Cooler - Install or Replace

"We have a utility closet in our garage where it was pre-plumbed for a water softener. However, the other equipment in the closet made it a challenge to get a water softener unit in there as well and we were concerned one would fit at all (poor planning by the builder). We had desired to have a larger unit installed, but the space limitation made it very questionable. Matt, the installer, brought out both a large and small unit in case the large one wouldn't fit. But Matt was able to make the larger one fit perfectly without having to redo any of the existing plumbing in the closet (another company had quoted us about $2000 worth of work just to move things around so their water softener would fit). And per our request, Matt went into the crawl space to re-route the garage hose bid to be on the soft water line and ran out and got a shutoff value so the kitchen sink could be switched from hard to soft water. And all this for no additional charge."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Wilder, ID

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.
