Evaporative Cooler

Evaporative Coolers in Sacramento, CA

There’s more than one way to provide cooling for a home. The refrigerant-based air conditioner is the one most people think of, and the one most homes rely on. Although the standard central air conditioner is the most effective way of providing comfortable temperatures, there are alternatives that—in the right homes—can help lower energy costs significantly. We install and service are evaporative coolers, which you may also know as a swamp cooler.

Is an evaporative cooler a good choice for cooling your house in Sacramento, CA? If you’re interested in having one installed, or you already have one and it’s in need of maintenance or repairs, Crystal Blue Plumbing, Heating & Air is the contractor to call. We don’t just want to be the contractor you look to for repairs here and there, but a partner in your long-term home comfort.

What Makes a Swamp Cooler Different from a Standard AC?

What exactly does a swamp cooler do? The simple explanation is that it uses water to cool down the air entering a home. The standard central air conditioning system uses refrigerant as its means for cooling the air: a compressor puts the refrigerant under pressure, causing it to circulate through a process of evaporation that removes heat from the household air and condensation to release the heat outdoors.

There’s no chemical refrigerant in an evaporative cooler. Instead, the system uses damp pads that are kept wet through the action of pumps. A fan pulls in outside air, and as the hot air moves over the pads, it loses heat to the water. This is the same effect you feel when air blows across a body of water and feels cooler against your skin.

The Advantages of Using This Type of Cooling System

The main reason people often want to have a swamp cooler installed is to reduce the costs of air conditioning. Running an evaporative cooler only requires powering the fans and the pumps, and this consumes less electricity than running the compressor in an air conditioner. If an evaporative cooler is a good match for a house, it can substitute for an AC on many days and lower energy bills.

Evaporative coolers are also helpful combating dry conditions. The moisture from the pads enters the air, raising its humidity level. We often experience dry summer weather in the Sacramento area, and an evaporative cooler can work well at creating humidity balance.
