Three Signs it is Time to Replace your Swamp Cooler

A swamp cooler or evaporative cooler is an option for air conditioning your home. However, many El Paso homeowners who have swamp coolers are making the choice to get rid of them. They are opting to install refrigerated air systems instead. If you have a swamp cooler and you are finding yourself thinking about making a change we have tips. There are a few signs that could point towards changing to refrigerated air as the logical solution.  If you do decide to make the change, Mechanical Technologies will be here to get the job done right for you.

Signs It is Time for A Switch to Refrigerated Air

There are many reasons why you may want to go to a refrigerated air system rather than a swamp cooler. Three big reasons people make the switch include convenience; safety; and effectiveness. Swamp coolers are not very convenient. You have to open and close doors and windows and take other steps to adjust humidity levels. Compare this to a refrigerated air system where you just set the thermostat and forget it. Safety is an issue because leaving doors and windows open can make you vulnerable to break-ins. Finally, swamp coolers are not always effective and you may not be able to cool your house down comfortably on some of the hottest and most humid days.

If you Keep Your Swamp Cooler

While these signs can point towards a switch to refrigerated air, some El Paso homeowners do decide they want to keep their swamp cooler. Maybe you want to keep your evaporative cooler because you don’t want to spend the money to switch to refrigerated air or simply because you like the way it works. Whatever your reason, Mechanical Technologies can also help to keep your evaporative cooling system in good working order.
