What are the advantages and disadvantages of evaporative cooling?

There are two key things to look for when considering any cooling or heating system The first thing is square footage. How big is the space you are trying cool or heat? The second is BTUs (British Thermal Units). These determine the unit size needed to efficiently cool or heat the desired space.


Once you know those two things, you can narrow your options and be more selective about what features you want.


This article aims to distinguish and answer any questions you may have when comparing an A/C unit to an Evaporative Cooler. Decide which option is best for you.

Purchasing an evaporative cooler is much cheaper than installing an air conditioning unit. A swamp cooler unit costs roughly 50% less than a traditional window-type air conditioner and 70% - 90% less than an inverter-type air conditioner.


How? No installation costs are necessary, they use a significantly less amount of energy consumption to run, and minimal service and maintenance is needed.


Note: Air conditioning units require an expert to come on-site and install the system (costs of an A/C unit slowly add up).
