How Evaporative Coolers (Swamp Coolers) Condition a Home’s Air

Evaporative coolers work by harnessing the natural process of water evaporation to cool the air. The system pulls warm outdoor air through water-saturated cooling pads, where the heat is absorbed and the air is cooled. A fan then distributes this cooled air throughout your home via a duct system or through open windows.

Unlike traditional air conditioning, which uses refrigerant and compressors, evaporative coolers rely on simple, natural airflow and moisture to lower indoor temperatures. This makes them particularly effective in dry climates like Fresno and Madera, where humidity levels are typically low. When properly sized and installed, these systems can reduce indoor temperatures by 15 to 30°F while using far less energy than central AC systems.

The Benefits of Evaporative Coolers

Evaporative coolers offer a range of advantages for homeowners in the Central Valley:

  • Lower energy consumption and utility costs
  • Eco-friendly operation without refrigerants
  • Fresh, filtered air that increases indoor humidity in dry climates
  • Easy maintenance and fewer mechanical parts
  • Affordable upfront installation costs
  • Operates effectively with open windows for natural ventilation

These benefits make swamp coolers a smart option for homeowners seeking comfort, efficiency, and improved indoor air quality. Whether you need a new installation or a system upgrade, Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning can guide you through every step with trusted expertise.
