Southwest Homeowners Can Get a $10 Fix for a $1,000 Home Cooling Problem

New Mexico (PRWEB) June 29, 2007 -- Sweltering homeowners suffering through summer in the Southwest with a broken home cooling unit need a guide through the swamp...the swamp cooler, that is. Easy Cooler Care by Larry Galpin is the first complete, easy to use guide to maintaining this type of home cooling unit.

As a growing population increasingly migrates to the ever-popular Southwestern USA, many transplanted homeowners find themselves confronted with a home cooling contraption they have never seen or heard of before, the legendary ?swamp cooler?. All they know about the invention ? which is technically referred to as an ?evaporative cooler? ? is that without the large mysterious-looking metal box on the roof they will swelter in the stifling heat.

But ignorance on the part of consumers is bliss for many service contractors, who charge from $60 to $80 per hour to work on the these home cooling units. And every homeowner with an evaporative cooler becomes a steady source of repeat business, because their units require regularly scheduled upkeep and occasional repairs. Even uncertified, unqualified, self-proclaimed swamp cooler repairmen can post an advertisement on a telephone pole and reap quick cash from vulnerable customers.

Frustrated with the lack of consumer-friendly information about evaporative coolers, author Larry Galpin ? who has more than 20 years experience as a handyman and licensed general contractor ? decided to offer a comprehensive, permanent solution. He created Easy Cooler Care, the first-ever, comprehensive homeowner ?how-to? guide to evaporative coolers

?There is no reason for people to throw away money year after year, when they can perform this kind of general repair and maintenance by themselves,? Galpin declares.

If anyone should know, it?s Galpin. He grew up in the arid southwest and has a lifetime of experience with swamp coolers. Not only has he professionally repaired and sold the coolers and their parts, but he has also instructed countless consumers about their year ?round care and upkeep.

His book ? available now for less than $10 at www.EasyCoolerCare.com ? covers routine maintenance, seasonal service, parts and repairs, and valuable tips on how to enhance cooler performance and save hundreds of dollars per year. Even those who have serviced their own home cooling units for decades find that the book saves them time and money. The 260-page manual has large font to make it easy to place nearby and read while actually working on a cooler, and it includes more than 160 full-color photos to provide a complete visual reference and understanding.

Topics include preparation of the units for the summer season, troubleshooting problems, do-it-yourself repairs, and winterizing coolers with proper procedures so that freezing weather does not damage the parts and tubing. A special chapter is dedicated to showing how make the units cool better, longer, and with greater energy efficiency and cost savings.

Galpin once worked in the cooler parts department of a popular home improvement store, where he says people would come in needing one part or another but wouldn?t know what size they needed. ?After much time and many questions, I would usually have to send them back home to climb back up on the roof and measure or bring in the old part,? he recalls. With the rising price of gasoline, a trip or two to the home improvement store could cost more than Galpin?s book, so he intentionally included a section in the book to help consumers determine the sizes of replacement parts and avoid repeated trips to the store.

With global warming adding summer sizzle to the southwest, those who own swamp coolers no longer need to sweat the small stuff ? or the high cost of home cooling service and repairs ? thanks to Easy Cooler Care.
