"After numerous "pros" came to repair my HVAC system, I always got the same response....you need a new system for 8.5 to 12.5k. What they don't know is I know enough about these systems to know the cost of parts and how the system works. So when the "technician" shows up and says they don't know which of the 5 parts was a problem, I'm skeptical. I just don't want to fix everything myself anymore. Comfort Monster is different. The difference is their technicians do not work on commission. Repairman from other companies get paid when the customer has to buy a new HVAC system, giving no incentive to fix anything. Comfort Monster technicians take pride in solving the puzzle of why the machine isn't working. I have two systems and when they inevitably have a problem, I'm calling these guys. Dude even gave my little girls Comfort Monster plush toys and they carry them everywhere!"

"Technician arrived as scheduled and inspected the well and control devices. Adjustments were made to improve the system, but the pressure tank & pressure switch needed replacement to optimize performance. That was scheduled & completed nicely."

"The AC unit worked like a champ.  When we switched to heating in the fall, the heating unit would shut off after starting.  After several visits, Jacques, the maintenance supervisor, determined that a smaller diameter exhaust pipe had been initially been installed.  Jacques supervised the replacement with a larger diameter exhaust pipe which eliminated the back pressure problem that was triggering the shutdown with the smaller diameter exhaust pipe.  Alpine was completely responsive and professional in their servicing of my situation.  Also, the initial defective thermostat was replaced free of charge.  Alpine wanted to make sure I was a satisfied customer with the new units."

"We originally scheduled an appointment with ABS to come on a Wednesday in July, but they had to reschedule due to conflicting jobs -- we didn't mind much because we know it is the busiest time of year for AC service. We rescheduled for the following Monday. Adam and his trainee were very courteous, explained everything to me and seemed thorough, and even wore shoe covers when in the house. They showed me the readings on our compressors and how to tell if they were operating below capacity, and after testing them, we decided to replace them as well. Overall, the job was quick, but we are glad we were able to have them come out and give our old AC unit a good cleaning and replace the needed parts."

"Scheduled an appt., requesting a quote. He showed up on time, inspect what needed to be done. He said he would call us to give his quote, but we never heard back from him. if we did not hire the other HVAC company, my husband and I would definitely consider using E&J Heating and Cooling to do the job."

"I called Jonathan at lunch time, and he was at the house by 5:30 PM the same day. When he left, the system not only worked again, but it cooled much better than before. He quoted prices before performing work, took the time to explain what he was doing and why he recommended it, and did not try to sell expensive, unnecessary services. I will definitely call him the next time our system needs service."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Wilsons Mills, NC

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.
