Why Homeowners Choose Swamp Coolers
Evaporative coolers use fans to draw hot air through water-soaked cooling pads. The water evaporates and cools the air, lowering temperatures by up to 20 degrees.
Benefits of swamp cooler installation include:
- Minimal energy usage
- Affordable cost
- Improved ventilation
- Better humidity
- Low carbon footprint
- Simple maintenance
Swamp coolers are most effective in hot, dry climates. Since they use moisture to cool your house, they’re less effective when the Clifton air is already humid. However, with our relatively low humidity, they offer relief from summer heat and promote ventilation, which raises your indoor air quality (IAQ).
When you operate your cooler, you crack a window or two to let warm air and excess humidity escape. This invites fresh air into your house, reduces dust, particles, and contaminants, and lowers the risk of mold and mildew growth.
The natural process of evaporation does most of the work, so these devices use minimal electricity, making them safer for the environment. If running your AC is too expensive, ask Home Comfort Services if evaporative coolers are right for your house.
During installation, Home Comfort Services could mount the cooler to your roof, place it in a window, or attach it to your ductwork. Manufacturers also sell portable devices that cool small areas. These models are cheaper but can’t work as well. That’s why we usually recommend buying a full-size swamp cooler.
Evaporative coolers require simple maintenance to keep the air fresh and clean. Check the fan, cooling pads, pump, and water tank once a month. Replace or clean the pads according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, call us for professional tune-ups to keep your system working well. If there are issues during checks, we at Home Comfort Services can perform expert repairs.
