How to Make an Evaporative Cooler More Comfortable and Effective

When you have a cooling system in Melbourne, as you likely do, it’s important for it to run properly throughout the year. Particularly in the summer, you want the evaporative cooler to run as effectively as possible so you remain comfortable. While this kind of unit is going to use only about a quarter of the energy that a traditional cooling unit will use, there are various things that can be done.

The air flow needs to be adjusted so that air is flowing out of your home just as it is being pumped in. Without having the necessary ducts, you will begin to experience a lot of humidity within the home. The ducts not only have to be installed, but it’s also important to have them cleaned periodically. If the ducts are no longer able to have air flow through them, problems can arise.

Evaporative coolers in Melbourne need maintenance. Some kind of regularly scheduled maintenance can be performed so the life and the efficiency of the unit is better. Old pads should be removed periodically and any scale that is on the cooler should be brushed away. You’re dealing with water inside of the unit and therefore there can be problems of mould, mildew, bacteria, and other things if you are not careful about cleaning the unit with regularity.

An evaporative cooler service inMelbourne is also going to be able to inspect the wiring and ensure that the connections and insulation are at the level they need to be. Any parts that are showing cracks or wear should be replaced.

Since an evaporative cooling system works with water, the distribution system should be cleaned periodically. This includes draining and flushing the reservoir and then cleaning the pump and pump impeller.

If you have had a central air conditioning unit in the past and now you have an evaporative cooler, you want to familiarize yourself with the subtle differences in terms of the maintenance. This will ensure that you remain comfortable during the warmer months and that your unit is running as efficiently as it can. Cracking a window with an evaporative cooler can help with overall humidity whereas it is not necessary with central air.
