Evaporative cooling uses water evaporation to lower air temperature. A roof-mounted unit draws in warm air, passing it through water-soaked pads, and cooling it down as it evaporates. This cool air is then distributed throughout your home with fans within the system.

Great fast service and very friendly guys who installed our new aircon in 40 degree + weather a big thank you
Had an amazing experience with the plumber Phil, his customer service was excellent, he was friendly and proffessional and he is skilled in his field.
I highly recommend Phil from Your Local Tradesman for any plumbing needs. I had a stubborn clogged drain and a significant blockage on the main line that ultimately required coordination with SA Water.

Phil had to visit three separate times to diagnose and manage the situation, and he was perfectly on time for every single appointment. His communication was excellent; he clearly explained the root cause, potential complications, and the exact steps needed to resolve it.

What really stood out was his transparency—the pricing was quoted upfront with absolutely no surprise fees, despite the complexity of the job. He also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the work was done. Highly recommend Phil for your plumbing needs.

Benefits of Evaporative Cooling

Smart, sustainable, and perfectly suited to our dry climate evaporative cooling keeps your whole home comfortable without blowing out your power bill.

  • Whole-Home Cooling Using Fresh Air: Cools every room with a constant flow of fresh air, not recycled or stale air.
  • Energy-Efficient & Eco-Friendly: Consumes far less electricity than refrigerated air conditioning systems.
  • Perfect for Dry Adelaide Summers: Delivers the best results in hot, low-humidity conditions, making it ideal for Adelaide.
  • Windows & Doors Can Stay Open: Enjoy fresh ventilation and natural comfort without needing to seal up your home.
  • Low Maintenance, Long Lifespan: Simple servicing, fewer moving parts, and reduced chance of breakdowns.
  • Cost-Effective Install & Running Costs: Lower upfront investment with some of the cheapest running costs on the market.

Cost of Evaporative Cooling Systems

Running a traditional ducted air conditioning system can be costly and take a toll on the environment. Cooling even a small 20 square metre space can cost over 75 cents an hour and contribute around two tonnes of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

Evaporative cooling provides a smarter, eco-friendly alternative. These systems use significantly less electricity and produce far lower emissions, making them a more sustainable choice. For Adelaide homeowners looking for an efficient and affordable way to stay comfortable during hot summers, evaporative cooling is the ideal solution.

What is an evaporative cooler?

An evaporative cooler is a cooling system that works by drawing warm air through water-moistened pads, causing the water to evaporate and cool the air. The cooled air is then circulated throughout your home, providing a fresh and energy-efficient cooling solution.

How does an evaporative cooler differ from an air conditioner?

Unlike air conditioners, which use refrigerants and compressors to cool the air, evaporative coolers use the natural process of evaporation. This makes them more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, but they work best in hot, dry climates where humidity is low.

What maintenance does an evaporative cooler require?

Evaporative coolers require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. This includes cleaning or replacing the cooling pads, checking the water pump and fans, and inspecting the water level. It’s recommended to service your cooler at the beginning and end of each cooling season.

How much water does an evaporative cooler use?

Water consumption varies depending on the size of the cooler, outdoor temperature, and humidity levels. On average, evaporative coolers use between 3-15 litres of water per hour.

Can an evaporative cooler help improve indoor air quality?

Evaporative coolers can improve air quality by circulating fresh, filtered air throughout your home. The cooling pads act as filters, trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. This makes evaporative cooling a great option for people with allergies or respiratory concerns.

How long do evaporative cooler pads last?

Cooling pads typically last 2-3 years, depending on usage and water quality. Mineral deposits and dirt can shorten the lifespan of the pads, so regular cleaning or replacement is necessary to maintain efficiency.
