They were on time, very professional and took the time to listen to the concerns we had. They had to replace multiple thermostats in the house so our air conditioners would work properly. We would certainly hire them again. The cost was reasonable. 😊

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a swamp cooler work in the High Desert?
Yes - HD is one of the best climates in the US for evap. Our summer relative humidity averages 18-32 percent. Swamp coolers cool by evaporating water; the drier the air, the bigger the cooling effect. On a 95-degree HD day a tuned unit drops supply air to 70-75 degrees. Above 100-105 outside, evap runs out of headroom and central AC becomes the better tool.
How much does it cost to run a swamp cooler vs central AC?
About 1/4 to 1/8 the electricity for equivalent cooling effect, plus 3-10 gallons of water per hour. On SCE TOU-D-PRIME peak rates, a swamp cooler running 8 hours costs roughly $0.80-$1.50 per day; equivalent central AC runs $4-$8. The trade-off is evap loses cooling above 100 degrees while central AC keeps working.
How often do swamp cooler pads need replacing?
Aspen pads: every spring (annually). Munters / rigid media pads: every 3-5 years depending on water hardness. HD's hard water shortens pad life vs softer-water regions. We swap pads as part of pre-summer startup service.
Can JC Energy Solutions convert my swamp cooler to central AC?
Yes. Full conversion runs $5,800-$12,000 depending on home size and whether existing ductwork can be reused. We remove the swamp cooler, patch the roof or wall penetration, install a new condenser + air handler + thermostat + new refrigerant lines, and commission the system. Permit pulled, inspection coordinated. Pairs with our AC installation service.
Should I just upgrade to AC or keep my swamp cooler?
Depends on three factors. Square footage: under 1,500 sq ft + HD location, evap usually wins on running cost. Peak afternoon temps: if you regularly hit 100+ degrees indoor with evap running, AC is the right tool. Operating budget: evap is cheaper to run but more annual maintenance touch. We will walk both numbers on a free consultation.
