Evaporative air conditioners are extremely efficient. On average, they cost around half the price of a central air conditioning system and are able to operate with a quarter of the energy that a central air conditioning system requires.
Evaporative air conditioning is often seen as superior over central air conditioning because they are more efficient to run and easier to maintain. The humidity released by evaporative air conditioning will also dissipate quickly inside your home or place of work whereas the humidity released by central air conditioning can easily become trapped inside your home.
It is recommended an evaporative air conditioner is serviced every 2-3 years, though this can vary depending on the make and model of the system. If you notice any changes in your evaporative air conditioner, such as taking longer to switch on, you should book a service immediately to maintain the quality of your air conditioning.
There are multiple ways to service and maintain an evaporative air conditioner, such as cleaning and sanitising the evaporative pads within the system and cleaning the water basin. When cleaning the water basin, all sediment must be carefully removed. To ensure you maintain the unit in the most efficient and effective way, it is recommended to hire an expert rather than trying to service the unit yourself.
