Why Consider Swamp Cooler Conversion
In some parts of the country, and indeed around the world, temperatures get so warm at certain times of the year that peoples’ homes become simply unbearable unless some form of cooling system is employed to lower indoor temperatures. In drier areas, a popular form of cooling makes use of what are known as swamp coolers, which lower the temperature by means of the evaporation of water. While this can be an effective form of cooling, it also uses relatively large amounts of water, persuading some people who currently run swamp coolers in their homes to consider swamp cooler conversion to air conditioning systems. Such cooling air conversion can be fairly easily done by an air conditioning specialist, but there are important considerations that should be fully taken into account before you make a decision.
The most important consideration will likely be the amount of water used by swamp coolers as compared to the higher electricity consumption of air conditioning units. Most swamp coolers make use of cooling pads over which water is run continuously to allow for more efficient evaporation and thus better cooling capabilities. Keeping this constant flow of running water can be extremely expensive, however, particularly in dry areas and many people also consider it an enormous waste of water.
Converting from swamp coolers to air conditioning can be a costly venture, but this must be balanced against the cost of keeping a swamp cooler constantly supplied with running water, not to mention the benefit to the environment of saving all that water. The use of evaporation to cool your home does, however, provide an environment that is pleasantly humid, a great benefit in drier areas.
One of the main advantages of air conditioning over swamp coolers is the degree of control that air conditioners provide over the temperature in your home. Whereas swamp coolers merely lower the temperature in your home by about 10 degrees, air conditioning systems will lower the temperature to one that you specify. In areas where the temperature is fairly constant, swamp coolers are adequate for your cooling needs. But in areas where the temperature can go from the merely warm to downright baking, then the precise control afforded by air conditioning systems is certainly more desirable.
Converting your swamp cooler system to a full air conditioning system is not as difficult as it sounds, as there are experienced companies that deal with cooling systems and are practiced at carrying out such conversions.
Your main concern when locating a company to provide the necessary services for your swamp cooler conversion to an air conditioning system is whether or not the company is reliable. This means looking for a company that has a large amount of experience in the area of cooling air conversion, and one that is able to provide comprehensive customer reviews and testimonials as proof of its experience and trustworthiness. This is extremely important because a poorly installed air conditioning system will almost undoubtedly turn out to be more trouble than it is worth.
