everything you need to know about evaporative cooling:
Evaporative air conditioning (otherwise known as evaporative cooling) delivers a natural, exceptionally healthy cooling experience in your home.
Evaporative coolers use evaporation to help cool the air. Based on the principles of evaporation, hot and dry outside air is pumped through water-infused cooling pads. As the air is pushed through the cooling pads, the water evaporates and the heat in the air absorbed, which lowers the air temperature. A fan then pushes the cool air throughout the home via a network of ducts.
Evaporative coolers provide a natural, whole of home and energy-efficient way to keep cool. Breezair, Braemar and Coolair offer a range of solutions to suit everyone!
Benefits of Evaporative Cooling
Huge power savings
As energy costs climb, evaporative cooling has become a smart, cost-effective option for homes in hot, dry regions such as Perth. Using significantly less electricity than conventional air conditioners, it can reduce your cooling energy use by as much as 85%, making it an efficient way to stay comfortable without the high power bills.
reduce your carbon footprint
Evaporative coolers rely on water, a natural, renewable resource, to provide cooling, making them a more eco-conscious alternative to traditional systems. Compared to ducted reverse cycle air conditioners, they can produce up to 85% fewer CO₂ emissions, helping to lower your environmental footprint. This energy-saving, environmentally friendly design makes evaporative cooling a smart and sustainable choice for keeping your home comfortable.
indoor air quality
Australians typically spend 80 to 100% of their time inside, whether at home or work, making Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) a crucial factor in overall health, focus, energy, and productivity. Prolonged exposure to polluted or poorly ventilated indoor air can contribute to serious health issues over time. While proper ventilation and air quality are key requirements in commercial buildings under the building code, they’re just as important in the home to ensure the comfort and well-being of your family.
