"Being new to the North West, we relied on the contractor to make recommendations regarding the work to be done. Surprisingly, they said our A/C and furnace were OK. I had them replace they A/C system anyway because it was old. They told me that whole house fans were not used in this location and suggested that we could cheaply add an outside air intake to our existing system, which they did. They were thorough and professional. We were very satisfied with the product and the service."

"I am really glad I hired this company. I received estimates from three companies, and Specialty Heating and Cooling's bid was in the middle. But after researching all of the offers carefully, I decided on Specialty Heating and Cooling because of their reputation, their record of standing behind their work if a problem occurred after installation, the type of technicians they employ to do the work, and what was covered in the contract I signed. The initial meeting was with Randy, and he was an immediate positive representative for the company. He was patient in answering my 100 questions, and he was very honest about the repair/replacement I needed to do now, as opposed to what could wait. I was expecting to have to do more than I needed, and I'm grateful for Randy's honesty and expertise in helping me choose the right air conditioner for the space next to my house and for the comfort inside my home. The four technicians who actually did the installation - Jake & Adam - and the duct cleaning, etc., - Matt and Matt - were all very knowledgeable and professional, careful of my home, and quick to answer any questions I had. I really felt comfortable having them in my home. When it is time to put the furnace unit in, I want Specialty Heating and Cooling to do the work."

"The mechanics did a very good job and said most of the furnace was in good condition especially as it was 21 years old and had not been serviced for 5 years! He pointed out a potential problem with the control/mother board that could cause the furnace to fail in the future and will provide an estimate for a replacement. He also fitted a new filter for us which we supplied."

"The plumber arrived on time. Assessed the problems , made a bid and then went ahead and fixed the problems that same day. He made the bid , went out to buy the parts and returned to complete the installation . However I ended up paying over $425/ hour!!!! I thought it would be more difficult to fix the [problem but it only took the actual work about 5 hours total. I want to stress that my job was completed adequately. However, now I feel " taken" for the job provided."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Clackamas, OR

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.
