So what is Evaporative cooling and how does it work?

11.10.2019

An Evaporative Cooling system is an efficient solution for cooling your entire house, it works on the simple principles of evaporation.

Evaporative cooling involves an external unit that sits on the roof and is connected by ductwork to a series of outlets providing fresh air all throughout your house. how dows evaporative cooling works

Here we will demonstrate how it works in 4 simple steps:

Warm outside air is drawn into the evaporative cooler through wet filter pads by the ventilation fan

The warm air passing through the wet filter pads makes the water evaporate. The heat needed to cause the evaporation is expelled, creating cooler air

The ventilation fan then directs the cool air through the ductwork into the rooms through the vents

Windows should be opened sufficiently so that air flows steadily out to maintain a suitable balance and ensure the system functions at peak efficiency

Why and when Evaporative cooler needs servicing?

You may not be aware but evaporative coolers collect a lot of dust and pollen. This build-up of dirt and grime clogs up the unit and blocks the filter pads, causing possible problems with the water pump and other components, and blockages within the water distribution and drain system. As a result - less cooling efficiency throughout the house.

The general recommendations to ensure maximum efficiency may range from checks on an annual basis to having the cooling system checked every 2-3 years, depending on the brand and model. The best is to refer to the owner’s manual. Also, it might be worth checking the system after the first year it was installed, just to ensure everything has been set correctly.

Maintenance is recommended to be performed before the summer season to keep cool and comfortable through the summer months.

REVIEWS

Sergey came on time and serviced our brivis heater. He found hair line cracks in the heat exchanger and took photos for us. He advised us to get it replace bc of the risk of carbon dioxide escaping into the house. We then called up brivis and they came replaced it under warranty. Found Sergey to be very polite and professional. Definitely would recommend him for your ducted heater service.

Have my evaporative cooling system cleaned and checked, very competitive price and good service. Sergey is a very honest guy that will provide options for the repair.

Natalie Nat
Fantastic and reliable service !!! Sergey's honesty and professionalism are highly appreciated.We had an issue with ducted heating that in the end had to be replaced. Sergey organized everything and within less than 24 hours we had a new heater installed.Also he suggested to us to move the wall controller to the different spot and as a result of that for the first time ,since moving into our house 16 years ago, we have the same temperature in all our rooms.Couldn't be more happier. I highly recommend AirWaterGas Plumbing!!!

Serge was excellent. Quick response and lots of communication when I had to change the time agreed. The repair was an old unit and he showed me everything he was doing all the way through - and fixed what I thought was going to be a replacement job!

Thelma Concepcion
When my tenant reported that the cooling unit is not working, the first company came and quoted $3,200 to replace the entire system. I sought Serge's advice on the unit and sent him out for a second opinion. I was very pleasantly surprised that the unit was repairable and the total bill was $259.50 - a massive saving indeed! Highly recommended.

6 Steps How to increase the Efficiency of Evaporative Cooler :

Whenever possible start the cooler early to prevent the build-up of heat within the house
It is essential to provide the required amount of ventilation by opening external windows and doors when operating the cooler
Use blackout curtains or blinds to reduce the impact of direct hot sunlight shining on windows
On days of high humidity, your evaporative cooler works best with the fan ON high and perhaps the pump turned OFF
Service your cooler regular, the system relies on the flow of air through the filter pads, so the cleaner they are the better the airflow
If moisture is building up on tiled or hard surface areas, ensure that airflow from the outlets is directed across the ceiling rather than down towards the floor
