Questions people ask
How much does evaporative cooling cost to run?
A whole-house evaporative cooler uses about as much electricity as a few light bulbs plus a small amount of water. On a hot day it typically costs well under a dollar an hour to run, which is a fraction of a ducted refrigerated system doing the same house.
Does evaporative cooling work on humid days?
It works best on dry heat, which is most of Melbourne's hot days. On the rare humid days it cools less, but still moves a lot of air through the house. If you want cooling that works regardless of humidity, a split system or ducted refrigerated system is the answer.
How long does an evaporative cooling installation take?
A changeover on the roof is usually a day. A new system with ducting and outlets is one to two days depending on roof access.
Do I need to leave windows open?
Yes, slightly. Evaporative cooling pushes cool air into the house and needs somewhere for it to go. Opening a window or two a few centimetres on the far side of the house is enough.
Which brand of evaporative cooler is best?
Braemar, Brivis and Bonaire all make reliable units and we service all three every summer. The right one depends on the roof, the house size and the budget, and we will tell you which one we would put on our own house.
Can you install evaporative cooling and ducted heating together?
Yes. Many homes in the outer east run both, each with its own ducting. If the heater is being replaced at the same time it is worth doing both in one visit.
Heater or cooler playing up?
One call, a straight answer. Or text a photo of the unit.
