"I needed a mini-split in my office-at-home. I contacted a few A/C companies, and set up appointments for the following couple of weeks. Except for one – Shaun from Extreme’s One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning of Beavercreek stopped by the same day. He did a thorough review of the situation (and he really knows his stuff!) and provided me estimates for 3 different options. It all made sense, but I wanted to get estimates from other companies as well. It turns out they were all higher and had some “gotcha’s” in them. Then before I could make up my mind, Shaun called and told me of a special opportunity he found out about, at a much lower cost. I placed the order over the phone. The crew arrived two days later. Joe and Caleb are real expert installers. Shaun was there too, helping and guiding. They did an excellent job with the installation and cleanup, offering creative solutions to various minor issues that came up due to my requirements and satisfying my every whim. The end result is a first-rate mini-split, performing better than expected and at a very affordable price. Next time I have an A/C or heating project, Extreme’s One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning will be the first and only company I call."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"Ricky is an excellent technician. This is a new house for me and not familiar with some of the equipment. He completed our checkup and told me it was in good condition, familarized me with the system and some of the plumbing. That is part of the reason I signed for your plan. I was impressed with Ricky and his representation of your company. I would like for him to do my air conditioner in the Spring. Thank you."

"After installation there were various problems that required my propane provider to become involved. Comfort solutions took care of all of the coordination as both companies worked to locate and resolve the problems. All said it took 2 days. By the 2nd day the service manager was on-site with the technician. The attention and responsiveness were excellent. That really went a long way to easing what could have been an extremely frustrating experience. Excellent customer service."

"New installation went well. I was a little upset that only 50% was covered being that the unit was 19 years old. I'm sure that parts for something that old would be hard to find. Replacement was recommended."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Wilmington, OH

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.
