"I will start Buy saying the Technician Rich W. is courteous and honest he made me feel at ease from the start we looked at the lighting we needed replaced he provided a quote right there on the spot. Tho we had lower estimates Rich explained why going with FH Furr was in our best interest knowing that He would be performing the work set my mind at ease secondly having a workmanship warranty made my choice easy. Rich was able to have me put on schedule to have the installation done."

"JDL helped in install a brand-new Carrier brand condenser unit and furnace, along with a Rheem hot water heater to replace an almost 30-year-old system at our house. The team at JDL was very professional and accommodating as we went through the proposal and estimate process. A big thank you to Amber for helping us through all that. The installation was great and seamless. Armando, thank you for you and your team’s hard work in taking out the old system and setting us up. The system has been doing great through this recent cold spell, keeping the house warm and comfortable. I would highly recommend JDL for any HVAC needs"

"We had a 20+ degree temperature difference between the finished basement and the upper level in our recently purchased home.  We had been using modern mechanical for a few years for annual hvac inspections in our previous home but that system never really required much service.  They have always been professional, punctual, and have a problem solving attitude.  We had them come out to provide recommendations and pricing for installing a new zone.  They provided the following three options: manual dampers, electronic zoning board with digital dampers, or install a completely separate system for the upper level.  The second choice is relatively new technology and they highly recommended it because it cost 50% - 75% less than installing a completely separate system and would have the same effect.  They followed up with a written proposal in 24 hours and had the system installed only a week after signing the proposal.  When the crew came to install it they were professional and polite.  The system has now been up and running for several weeks and works perfectly.  We highly recommend this company and the system/technology that they used.

The installation went extremely well.  Our Techs, Chad and Steven arrived promptly at 8 AM and immediately went to work.  And as a homemaker, I really appreciated the fact that they wore boot covers over their shoes to protect the carpeting.  Since this installation required going inside and outside many times, they also put down a protective plastic covering where they had to walk inside!  What else can you ask for!  They had the installation totally completed in the time frame we were told, approximately 5 hours, then took the time to explain the workings of the new thermostat,  There were both very polite and so cordial!  After they left, there was not one scrap of any debris and we are now enjoying our new A/C unit.  I also want to mention that Total Comfort did the original installation of all of our HVAC when we built our home almost 10 years ago, and we have kept a maintenance contract with them ever since.  When we had this problem, they were here immediately and had our unit installed in just a few days.  Total Comfort is an excellent company, with a wonderful group of employees, both in the field and office.  We will stay with them for all of our HVAC needs!

"I was impressed by how hard working and thorough the workers were. They hauled the old gas water heater out and got the new one installed promptly and did a neat job. They reconfigured an awkward gas pipe near my washing machine, replaced an exterior gas hose with a UV resistant one, and checked all gas piping including our gas fireplace. We were very pleased with the end result and appreciated the fair pricing. Highly recommend."

"Tou did a great job with work if installment. BUT, I have not been informed that I need additional pieces needed to be installed for RELAC and they did next inspection and gave me pass certification.... is it reliable? This year RELAC people from Reston association came to tux the air condition issue that I had and they informed me that if I don’t have those pieces in the system, my house will get damaged and not good for my air quality. I contact Clover and they were not responsive and the response that they have given later was so unprofessional. I was happy with their service but finding this issue with my HVAC installation and their response made me decide not to work with them again. I thought that they were recommended with my Condo because they knew how RELAC work and the structure or how inspection passes. Obviously they don’t ... Thanks"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Woodbridge, VA

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.
