Albuquerque Swamp Cooler Maintenance, Installation and Repair
Evaporative coolers (also known as “swamp coolers”) are a common fixture in homes throughout the Southwest. They are one way of cooling your home in a dry climate like Albuquerque.
Despite their relative prevalence, many people new to the area are not sure exactly what swamp coolers are or what the differences are between swamp coolers and air conditioners. Read on to learn more about swamp coolers and how they differ from central air conditioning units.
Swamp Cooler vs. Air Conditioning
While installing evaporative coolers in Albuquerque is fairly common, more and more people are making the shift to central air conditioning. Central air conditioning requires less maintenance and can achieve greater cooling results faster than swamp coolers.
Evaporative coolers work under the principle that as dry air absorbs moisture through evaporation, heat is absorbed and the air is made cooler. Unlike central air conditioning that require all doors and windows to be closed to keep the inside air cool, swamp coolers need ventilation that allows sufficient air flow in order to work properly.
In addition to the difference in how they work and feel, homeowners don’t have to think about how to winterize an air conditioner in the same way they have to think about how to winterize a swamp cooler. You see, swamp coolers cannot simply be shut off for the winter, they must be properly winterized to sustain the cold weather without being damaged.
