However, the efficiency of these models has recently been called into question, especially when you are presented with refrigerated air as an alternative. At Mechanical Technologies, we know there are pros and cons to both air conditioning systems. We want our clients to be able to make informed decisions about the type of cooling they have or want installed in their homes. While swamp coolers have their pros, we know of four reasons why you should start considering a switch.

A Swamp Cooler Risks Water Damage

Swamp coolers have to access your water lines. This means you have active water lines tied to your air conditioner, and that could prove disastrous if you do not properly maintain the swamp cooler. Water lines can rupture, water reservoirs can overflow or breakdown. This can leave you with a mess to clean up and moderate to severe water damage to your home.

Limited Accessibility 

Depending on the type of swamp cooler you have, you could have trouble accessing different parts. For example, some water coolers have components installed within walls or the unit itself. This can make simple repairs impossible for you to do alone, costing you more money.

Energy Efficiency

Many older models of swamp coolers are not optimized for energy efficiency. In El Paso, water bills can rocket in the summer as you try to combat the oppressing heat from outside. Your electricity bill will also climb due to the power used to run the motors.

Allergen Reduction

Most refrigerated air units have been known to reduce the allergens in your home. If you have pets, kids, or someone in your home suffers from a respiratory conditions, this can be an enormous help. Considering the windy season in El Paso blows pollen and other allergens everywhere, it can be a deciding factor in your decision.
