Why Evaporative Cooling, Ideal for Heat Awareness

Evaporative cooling systems use the natural process of water evaporation to cool air, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option, especially in dry climates.

• Energy Efficiency: Evaporative coolers use significantly less energy than traditional AC units. Making them an ideal option to save you money and energy use.

  
  

• Eco-Friendly: Unlike conventional air conditioners, evaporative coolers don’t rely on harmful refrigerants or chemicals.

  
  

• Improved Air Quality: Evaporative cooling media is literally a filter. Evaporative cooling units help to minimize dust and allergens ultimately providing fresher air and a healthier environment.

  
  

• Cost Savings: We recognize install costs may vary depending on unit choice and application, however, the long-term energy savings make evaporative cooling a budget-friendly choice.

  
  

• Versatility: Evaporative coolers are ideal for large spaces like warehouses, retail premises, or industrial settings, hospitals, you name it. They’re also effective for residential use in dryer climates.

Tips to Maximize Your Evaporative Cooling System

• Regular Maintenance:

  Maintain your evaporative cooling system with regular cleaning and maintenance checks. For evaporative cooling media we recommend regular cleaning and replacement checks.

Media Maintenance Tips

• Ventilation:

  Be sure to keep windows or doors slightly open to allow air exchange, as closed spaces reduce cooling effectiveness and may cause moisture buildup inside.

  
  

• Upgrade to high efficiency models:

  The technology of evaporative cooling is ever growing and new more efficient units are coming out all the time. Be sure to shop around and find the right unit for your size and application.
