Why get an evaporative cooler?
The benefits of an evap cooler versus a refrigerated air conditioning system are energy efficiency and fresh, clean air. An evap system blows in fresh clean air the air is filtered as it is sucked in from outside. The filter system prevents dust particles making it a more hygienic and safe air conditioner.
Energy efficient
Evap coolers tend to be more energy efficient as they only use electricity for the fan and water pump. This means less power is needed to keep your home cool and of course, this means less expensive power bills. Cool your home cheaper with evaporative cooling.
Eco-friendly
Energy efficiency means eco-friendly. Evap cooling is better for the environment as it uses less power and emits less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Leave a lower carbon footprint with an evap cooler than a refrigerated air conditioner. The water used to cool the air is recirculated until is no longer clean enough, so water use is sustainable and eco-friendly.
How does evap cooling work?
Unlike a split system air conditioner, you do not have to shut every window and door in your home. This means you still get to enjoy the beautiful fresh air and not be shut in from the outside.
An evap cooler uses the outside air to cool your home, the air is drawn from your roof unit and through wet pads which in effect creates a cool coastal breeze into your home. Ducts in your home then distribute the cool air throughout your home.

Evaporative Cooler FAQS
When do I need to service my air con?
We recommend at least every 2 years and do so before the heat of summer. Regular maintenance extends the life of your system and makes sure it’s working at top efficiency saving you money in the long run.
The air coming out from the air-con smells.
New air-con pads have a mild smell at the start but this fades. If your system is older a smell may indicate it needs service and cleaning. As the filters may be clogged.
Do I need windows open for the evap cooler to work?
Evap cooling uses airflow to work properly. The manual will let you know the manufacturer’s recommendations and we can on install advise the right spot to crack the window. If you are not sure we advise having at least one window open.
How much water does my evaporative cooler use?
The water use is dictated by the evaporation rate of the pads. Hotter days will see more water being used with the cooler refilling perhaps every 30 minutes.
Why is my floor wet with condensation?
This may be because you do not have enough or any windows open for the right airflow ratio. Also, check if the vents are in the direction of the floor and move them upwards if they are. Another reason could be the filters are too dirty.
Why is water coming out of the Evap Cooler?
Newer evaporative coolers should not leak water as they are designed with an auto drain valve. This means every 20 or so cycles they will flush the water. Older evaps have what is called a bleed system which empties water via a continuous flow from the drain outlet when the pump is on.
Evaporative Cooling Tip!
It is most efficient to open (approximately halfway) the window in the rooms that you are cooling that are farthest from the vent. The open window is acting as an exhaust for the cooled air.
