Evaporative Cooling

We know the advantages of Evaporative Cooling. It is the ideal system for the Australian conditions, because the hotter it gets outside, the more effectively it cools the indoors.

During the summer months, everyone wants their living area cool throughout the day and their bedrooms cool at night. Ducted evaporative cooling comprises a central cooling unit, which is connected to a series of outlets. Positioned strategically throughout the house, these outlets, or ducts, are installed in the ceiling while the cooling unit is installed on top of the roof. Cool fresh air flows through these outlets into every room of your home. Unlike other forms of cooling which requires you to keep doors and windows closed to maintain a cooler temperature, evaporative cooling requires you to leave your doors and windows open. This is great news if you have children who are constantly running in and out of the house!

The cooling unit fan draws in fresh air from outside your house (The hotter the air is to begin with, the better the cooling effect). As it passes through moistened pads, the air is cooled and filtered before flowing through outlets in your rooms - just like a cool, refreshing sea breeze.

Evaporative cooling is based on a totally natural process of air cooled by water which means it won't dry out the air, irritate your skin, throat or eyes, or affect the environment. Evaporative cooling is also up to 50% cheaper to install and three times cheaper to run than refrigerated cooling.

Evaporative cooling is the healthiest way to cool your home because it replaces stale old air with clean fresh air many times an hour - remember, you keep your doors and windows open. The air inside your home is never re-circulated which means smells and airborne germs are expelled.

Benefits of Evaporative Vs Refrigerated
Evaporative Refrigerated
Natural fresh clean filtered air Recirculates stale air
The worlds most efficient and economical ducted evaporative air conditioning system Refrigerative systems have much higher running costs for cooling
Installation cost lower, with minimal
seasonal maintenance
Installation costs higher in ducted refrigeration
CO2 emissions many times less than refrigerated CO2 Emissions many times more
Ideal for kids, asthma sufferers, elderly -
non drying fresh air
Dries the eyes, skin and household plants
Window / Doors left open - fresh, clean air pushing stale air outside Windows and doors have to be shut to operate effectively. Stale air recirculated.
