When is a ducted evaporative air conditioner the right choice?

Ducted air conditioner based on evaporative cooling can be ideal options for homes looking to reduce their energy bills with more energy efficient air conditioning systems, while also benefiting from clean and fresh air rather than air that has been recycled.

How Evaporative Cooling Works

Unlike refrigerated systems, evaporative cooling uses the natural process of water evaporation combined with a practical air-moving system.
This system draws in fresh outdoor air and circulates it indoors using a blower that consumes significantly less electricity.
Cooling pads, made of wood shavings or absorptive materials, hold moisture without the risk of developing mildew.
Water is automatically replenished through a float valve, keeping the pads moist for consistent and efficient cooling.

How to Choose an Air Conditioner

Ducted evaporative air conditioning is a highly cost-effective option for many Adelaide homeowners.
However, your property’s size and layout may require a different type of system for optimal results.
Refrigerated cooling delivers faster results and may be better suited for larger or multi-room environments like offices.
For compact spaces, window-mounted or portable air conditioners could be an efficient and economical solution.
