Swamp Cooler Repair and Service in Fresno
Cooler stopped cooling, leaking, or ready for the season? Nalk repairs, installs, and services evaporative coolers in Fresno and the Central Valley, and we tell you what it needs before we talk about converting it.
Who Repairs Swamp Coolers in Fresno?
Nalk repairs, installs, and services evaporative coolers, also called swamp coolers, in Fresno and across the Central Valley. We fix motor, pump, and float problems and leaks, install new coolers, replace pads, start coolers up for the season, winterize them when it ends, and convert homes to refrigerated AC.
Walk through an older Fresno, Sanger, or Reedley neighborhood and you will see them on the roofs. Many Central Valley homes were built around evaporative coolers, and many owners still run them every summer. If yours stopped cooling, leaks, makes a new noise, or needs to be shut down for the season, call us and describe what you see.
Nalk works under California contractor license #497476, classified C-20 for warm-air heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning, and has served the Central Valley since 1986.
Swamp Cooler Services We Offer
How we help evaporative cooler owners, from keeping a cooler running to moving on from it.
Cooler Repair
Motor, pump, and float problems, leaks, and a cooler that is not cooling. A technician looks at it and explains what it needs, so you can decide what to do next.
Installation, Pads, and Seasonal Care
We install new evaporative coolers, replace worn pads, start coolers up for the season, and winterize them when cooling season ends. The end of the season is also a good time to have a technician look yours over.
Conversion to Refrigerated AC
If you are ready to move on from your cooler, we convert homes to refrigerated air conditioning. See our AC installation service for how we size and install a system.
When to Call About Your Cooler
An evaporative cooler pulls outside air through wet pads and pushes the cooled air into the house. When something in that chain breaks down, these are the signs most owners notice.
- The air coming out is warm, or much weaker than it used to be.
- The cooler will not start, or it starts and then stops.
- Water is leaking, pooling, or running when it should not.
- The cooler runs but something sounds wrong.
- Cooling season is ending and you want the cooler shut down properly.
- You are weighing whether to keep the cooler or switch to refrigerated AC.
Keep the Cooler or Switch to AC?
An evaporative cooler cools best in dry heat. On the muggier days we get in the Valley, it has less to work with, and it does not remove humidity or hold a set temperature the way refrigerated AC does. Some owners are happy with that trade. Others want steadier temperature and lower humidity.
We start with what your cooler needs before we talk about replacing anything. If you do want to convert, the job can involve the old roof opening, your home's electrical capacity, and ductwork, and every house is different. We look at yours and lay out your options.
If you convert, our AC repair and AC maintenance services cover the new system, and heat pumps are another option for homes that want heating and cooling from one system.
