Evaporative Cooling Installation Melbourne
Our evaporative cooling installation Melbourne is the perfect choice to keep you cool during the hot and dry months of summer. Whilst regular air conditioning systems will cool you, evaporative coolers prevail being an eco-friendly and cost effective long term option. As the name suggests evaporative cooling uses evaporation to facilitate the cooling process but we'll tell you all about it below. We're ready to keep your family cool that's why we offer a reliable evaporative cooler installation for Melbourne homes.
Why Choose Evaporative Cooling for Melbourne Homes?
How does evaporative cooling work?
Evaporation is the name of the game. hot/dry outside air is pushed through cooling pads that are throughly soaked in water. When the air is directed through the pads the water will start to evaporate causing the heat in the air to be absorbed. This lowers the temperature, whereby a large fan circulates that cool air through ducts inside your home causing the beautiful cool breeze. Besides the obvious cooling benefits here are some of the lesser known advantages to installing an evaporative cooler:
- Low Running Costs: You could spend as low as 0.14c/hour depending on the size and capacity which is tremendously cheaper than any other system. Over time the savings will add up.
- Eco-Friendly Cooling: Not powered by gas and uses far less electricity than other cooling systems, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
- Improved Air Quality: Fresh air is constantly being circulated with these evaporative coolers, on the other hand regular air conditioning will recycle your indoor air.
- Effective in Dry Climates: Melbourne has some of the best climate for evaporative cooling. We have moderate humidity which suits these coolers. When the relative humidity reaches 70% and over evaporative coolers can function poorly.
- Quiet Operation: The operation is quiet, so you can enjoy a peaceful home.
