"We are very happy with the professionalism, timeliness, support, quality and honesty that Jim, Ben and the installers demonstrated in the installation of a new furnace at our residence. There was never an effort to up-sell, communication was clear, precise and unambiguous; estimates were accurate with no hidden costs. The installers were on time, completing the installation on schedule and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Revival Energy Group for their services. Thanks a lot, Jim and your team!!!"

"I appreciated how methodical Jon-Marc was in diagnosing the problem behind the leak in the kitchen ceiling from the upstairs bathtub, which appeared at first to be a failed shower diverter. But, when, after removing the faucet, the physical evidence inside the wall did not match what he expected to see with that issue, he kept looking and testing. Eventually, he identified the real problem as a failed seal around the wall soap dish, which plumbers don't repair. However, he also established that there is nothing wrong with the bathtub plumbing, which is good to know. He installed a new diverter, as the old one was starting to fail. Jon-Marc was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and good at his job. He answered all my questions, explained what he would be doing, and stayed until the job was finished. He also kindly found that the leaking garbage disposal had rusted out. This was the second time I hired 3 Mountains Plumbing. I highly recommend the company and would hire them again."

"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."

"Inspector said they would replace a few things on the inside and outside on the day of installation. But, the installer only replaced the outside parts and never replaced the catch basin the installer said they would on the inside. The AC unit works great though! So, overall it was a good experience and a relief to get it done before the summer heat set in for my pregnant wife. They also did a great job helping us with the pricing."

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.
