How it works

How the Install Runs

Every evaporative install follows the same four steps, and the price is fixed at step three:

  1. 1

    Step 1

    You call and describe the home, the roof and what cooling you have now.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    We check the roof, the cavity and where the ducts and vents will run.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    You get a fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    We install, water-test the unit and hand over with the running routine explained.

Common Evaporative Problems We Fix

Most evaporative faults trace back to water, airflow or a unit left unserviced, and all of them are fixable:

Questions

Evaporative Cooling FAQs

Does an evaporative cooler work with the windows shut?

No, it needs a few windows or vents open so cooled air can push through the house, and a sealed home makes the unit fight itself for no result.

What happens to winter if I go evaporative?

Nothing, because the unit cools only, so winter needs its own answer in reverse cycle or ducted gas heating, and we price the pairing so both seasons are covered before you commit.

What does a pre-summer evaporative service include?

A pre-summer service checks and cleans the pads, water feed and bleed-off lines, clears the mineral scale that builds over a dry season, and water-tests the whole unit before the first hot spell.

Is evaporative cheaper to run than a split system?

Yes, in Adelaide's dry heat a fan and a small water pump cost well less to run than a reverse-cycle ducted setup, though the handful of muggy days each summer cut the cooling effect.

Do you install evaporative units on older Trust-era roofs?

Yes, the single-storey brick and brick-veneer Trust-era homes through this suburb take a roof unit cleanly, and we inspect the roof line and cavity before the price is fixed.
