What Is a Swamp Cooler?
If you’re tired of high cooling bills and you’re looking for a more efficient way to cool your home this summer, you may want to consider investing in an evaporative cooler, more commonly known as a swamp cooler.
If you’ve ever tested the direction of the wind by holding a wet finger in the air, you’ve experienced the basic principle of how a swamp cooler works. When hot, dry air passes over water, the air is cooled. A swamp cooler works by drawing warm air inside the unit where it passes over pads that have been moistened with water.
This process cools the air by up to 20 degrees, and the cooled air is then circulated throughout your space. The cooled air is constantly circulating, creating a comfortable breeze that can make your home feel an additional four to six degrees cooler.
Is an Evaporative Cooler Right for Your Utah Home?
Despite the somewhat misleading name, swamp coolers work best in hot, dry environments. Since the humidity in the Salt Lake City area is fairly low, evaporative cooling systems work well here. If you’re looking for a cooling system that requires a smaller upfront investment and costs less to operate in the long run, a swamp cooler may be a good choice.
There are several benefits to installing an evaporative cooler in your home:
- Running a swamp cooler costs up to 50% less than running a traditional air conditioning system, and they use roughly 90% less energy.
- Using less energy also means that swamp coolers have less impact on the environment.
- Fresh air is constantly pulled into your home, eliminating stuffy, stale indoor air.
- They’re also smaller and more portable, making them ideal for those with minimal floor space.
- Swamp coolers work best in areas where the humidity is low, making them a perfect choice for Salt Lake City residents.
They’re simple to set up, and they can be moved with ease. Are you getting excited? We don’t blame you.
