Evap cooler service — the trade skill the new guys never learned
Evaporative cooler service is disappearing from Phoenix service menus because the franchises never trained on them — but thousands of Valley homes still run swamp coolers, and they're brilliant machines in April, May, and June. We service them properly and give you the honest math on when a refrigerated-air conversion makes sense.

Full evap care, both ends of the season
Spring start-up
Pads, float valve, pump, belt, bearings, bleed-off — done right in March so you're not on our emergency board in May.
Repairs
Pumps, motors, floats, water lines, and the scale that eats them. Same-week service through evap season.
Winterization
Drain, dry, cover, damper — skipping this is why coolers die young and ceilings get water stains.
The monsoon problem
Evap cooling collapses when humidity spikes. If July–August is unbearable, that's not a repair issue — that's the conversion conversation.
Converting to refrigerated air — the honest math
A conversion is a real project: new ductwork sizing (evap ducts are bigger), electrical, and a properly sized system — see AC replacement for how we size for the desert. Typical range $8,000–$15,000 (placeholder) depending on ductwork reuse. The payoff: monsoon-proof cooling and no more pad seasons. Until then, keep the cooler healthy — a Desert Shield membership covers both start-up and winterization, and if the dust is winning inside the house, pair it with duct sealing.
AC down? In this heat, that’s an emergency.
Real dispatcher, real trucks, 24/7 — summer ac failures don’t wait and neither do we. Same-day across the Valley.
