Evaporative Coolers
Evaporative Coolers work by bringing in continuous fresh air from the outside in over watered pads. Unlike Air Conditioners that re-circulate the same air. Evaporative Coolers cost half as much to install and operate compared to Central Air Conditioners. Even though they save on monthly bills they require more maintenance and work most efficiently in dry climates. Some general maintenance tips are:

• Drain and clean your cooler at least yearly. Keep in mind that Coolers may need a routine maintenance several times during the cooling season.
• Check the pads, filters, reservoir, and pump regularly. Replace the pads at least twice during the cooling season.
• Some paper and synthetic cooler pads can be cleaned with soap and water but please refer to your manufacturer's instructions. Filters should be cleaned as often as the pads are changed or cleaned.
