Maintaining Evaporative Coolers 101

When you invest in an expensive appliance like an evaporative cooler you need to maintain it. Maintaining the evaporative cooler can help it run smoothly for a long time and to run efficiently.

Homes can get warm during the summer and the best way to keep them cool is to let the freeze flow and changing the temperature on the thermostat. During cold nights you can maybe use the fireplace, change the temperature on the thermostat.

This way you can save costs and it can save output of the cooling system. There are many ways you can keep your home the right temperature during any season.

Here are Some Simple Tips That Can Help You Maintain Your Cooler by Yourself.

Clean Those Filters:

There can be a lot of dust and pollen that accumulates and clogs up the cooling system. Your system works harder when the filters are all clogged up and this stress can slowly ruin the evaporative cooling system. You need to replace the air filters at least twice a year to keep the cooler working at full capacity and giving up the best quality air.

Check The Ducted Systems:

These systems are the best when it comes to the weather in Australia. These systems can bring in small leaks and cause heat to slip through. These leaks can just ruin the cool air that keeps coming in and as well as ruin the evaporative cooling system.

Clean Those Vents:

Vents are the main source of airflow from your cooling system into your home. Vents tend to accumulate a lot of dust and other rubble can hinder the air flow. You have to clean those vents regularly for a better functioning evaporative cooler. Cleaned up vents can help the cooling system push out clean air. The dust can get pushed out and into the home which can cause allergies.

Service Calls:

You have to get a licensed professional to come in and service your cooler at least once a year. They can check for any faults and even improve on your cooler for a better cooling machine.

Lastly, do not hesitate to ask your technician for advice on how your system works. It is always better to know more about the cooling system and help it function smoothly. This will increase the shelf life of the cooler by many years.

Clean Those Compressors:

Evaporative coolers rely on compressors. They work best when they don’t have anything obstructing their flow. So when the seasons pass by, check your cooler and clear out the rubble that hinders the flow. This will keep the cooler running smoothly and will be worth the investment.

Thermostats:

The best way to save energy is to work with a programmable thermostat. With these thermostats you can fiddle with the temperature and turn down the heat instead of turning on the cooler.
This way you can turn it up when needed. This way you’re saving energy and cost.
