Cooling is a long term investment. It increases the value of your home whilst providing a more comfortable lifestyle. Before purchasing cooling, it is important to recongnise your future needs as well as your current needs.

Evaporative Cooling

Ducted evaporative cooling can provide whole house cooling through a network of outlets located in the ceiling. Unlike refrigerated cooling which requires you to keep doors and windows closed to maintain a cooler temperature, evaporative cooling requires you to leave your doors and windows open. This is great if you have children or are entertaining and have people constantly coming in and out of the home.

What is it?

Ducted evaporative cooling is comprised of a central cooling unit, which is connected to a series of outlets. Positioned strategically throughout the house, these outlets, or ducts, are installed in the ceiling while the cooling unit is installed on top of the roof. Cool fresh air flows through these outlets into every room of your home that requires cooling.

How Does It Work?

The cooling unit fan draws in fresh air from outside your house. (The hotter the air is to begin with, the better the cooling effect.) As it passes through moistened pads, the air is cooled and filtered before flowing through the ductwork and through ceiling outlets into your rooms.

Evaporative cooling is the healthiest way to cool your home because it constantly replaces stale air with fresh air. The air inside your home is never re-circulated which means smells and airborne germs are expelled.

Questions to ask yourself

Will future lifestyle changes affect my cooling needs?
How many/what rooms of my house do I want to cool at any given time?
