Swamp Coolers And Why People Are Switching

What are swamp coolers and why should I use them? Can they really help me save energy on my cooling bill?

Doing a bit of homework prior to purchasing a Swamp Cooler for your home can result in your buying the right device. There are many to choose from that are installed differently, cover different amounts of space and that have different components inside the unit so a bit of legwork prior to your purchase is a good idea. A swamp cooler is both a residential as well as a commercial cooling device and buying the right unit for your purposes will ensure that you get the most that this technology has to offer.

Why should you consider a swamp cooler?

A swamp cooler is easy to install and although it requires some maintenance, you do not have to have be extremely handy or have a degree in mechanics to be able to perform the simple maintenance it needs by yourself. A swamp cooler also costs considerably less to operate than an Air Conditioner. You can save as much as 75% off your electric bill which can translate to a huge return on your investment. They are not very expensive either. They range from under $100 to several thousand depending on: what square footage you want to cover, whether you want portable, window or roof mounted systems and on what the internal components are. This is also a germ and pollutant reduction tool due to the natural way they operate in a way that's cleansing to the atmosphere. And, if you want to use one for your whole home, you can use your existing duct system to deliver the cool air.

How do you know if swamp coolers are right for you?

If you work or live in a hot, dry location, an evaporative air cooler cools your room through the process of evaporation. The result is a fresh, clean and moist atmosphere. If you live in a very humid area, this might not be the right cooling device. Many people even use their swamp coolers in the winter time so that they can have humidity in the dry air. This works especially well when you have very dry electric heat.

Evaporative air coolers can also be portable units that allow you to move it from one area to another in your home. Most portable units create a cooling area of about a dozen feet in front of the unit. This can help you in stifling heat to get a good night's rest by putting your cooler beside your bed or in your family room while you're relaxing.

Portable Evaporative Cooler/Swamp Cooler?

I am thinking about getting a portable swamp cooler for my house in SO CAL. I want a portable one so I can move it to the bedroom at night and the kitchen/living room durring the day. If you have had experiance with these, please let me know how you like it, and if you recomend it. BTW it is usuialy low humidity here.

i have had both portable swamp coolers and portable a/c's the only diffrence i saw was that the ac worked a bit better but used a heck of a lot more electricty and had more features. either one works fine though.
