Benefits of Evaporative Air Conditioning
Evaporative air conditioning works differently than refrigerated air conditioning. Evaporative cooling simply pulls air over water-soaked pads before blowing refreshing breezes to the rooms. Consider the following benefits you'll enjoy with evaporative air conditioning in your home.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Firstly, because of how these systems work, regular maintenance is crucial to prevent mildew and mould buildup in the fans and wet pads. Also, servicing will remove any leaves and debris that can collect in the unit to create a potential fire hazard. With a well-serviced system, though, you're good to go.
Free Flowing Air
Part of feeling comfortable in hot weather is free-flowing air movement against your skin, which is what evaporative air coolers provide. They deliver continual fresh air that flows indoors through the cooler and exits via doors and windows. It feels like a cool breeze you might experience when sitting beside the sea or a lake with the wind blowing across the water. However, you need to keep doors and windows open to prevent moisture buildup. Many people prefer this rather than closing their home to the outdoors on a sunny day in any case.
Energy-Efficient
Evaporative coolers only require power to run a fan and a water pump — thus they consume much less energy than refrigerated air conditioners, saving you money on power bills. This makes them a more eco-friendly option, as by using less energy, they'll release fewer harmful greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, evaporative coolers help to reduce your carbon footprint.
Perfect for Dry Climates
If you live in dryer southern regions of Australia, evaporative coolers are perfect as they work best in dryer rather than humid climates. The reason for this is that as these coolers moisten the air by blowing it across wet pads, the moisture levels might become too high in an already humid outdoors environment.
Purified Indoor Air
Because evaporative coolers blow in fresh air from outside, your home won't be shut up with the same air recirculating, as happens with refrigerated air conditioners. Additionally, filters cleanse the air of dust and allergens before blowing it inside. Thus, the indoor air is not only refreshingly cool and breezy, but it's also purified. Allergy sufferers will be better off so long as you book a regular evaporative air conditioning service to rid the unit of moisture and debris buildup.
Quiet Operation
Evaporative coolers run quietly so they don't disturb the peace — unlike the noisy outdoor units on split system air conditioners that can create neighbour disputes and grievances.
