Repairing the HVAC unit
Even if you are well-equipped to install a standard window air conditioner, it is altogether a different thing to do so with a central HVAC unit. HVAC system makes use of chemical refrigerants, so even a small error on your part will end up releasing toxic pollutants in your home or office area.
Removing an evaporative cooler
A lot of older homes still use the evaporative cooler on the roofs. But if you are planning to get it removed, you are definitely going to need a lot more than just some elbow grease and a ladder. Apart from a very high probability of you falling off the roof while trying to get it off, you also run the risk of hurting someone with the cooler who is standing on the ground. The best way to get it removed? Hire a roofer or HVAC professional and you can get it removed quite easily.
