Turn this summer into a cooling season with your evaporative cooler efficiently cooling your house. Beat the dry climate, and cut down on your energy costs by servicing your cooling pads and having an efficient cooling system.
Below are a few basic steps to ensure your evaporative cooler is operating correctly, before the really hot weather hits.
- Clean the filter pads. Evaporative air conditioner filter pads that are not cleaned will cause your system to not cool. Here’s why:
- Dirty evaporative cooler wet pads that aren’t wet through are unable to increase the moisture level in the air, this is how evaporative coolers keep you cool.
- The ductwork that has lost its cover, its insulation, or its plastic sleeve allows for a lot of the heat in the roof space to transfer into the air in the ducts causing the cooler to operate less efficiently. End result: you will be hot!
- Ensure a window or door is open. When operating your evaporative air conditioner it is essential that you have a partially open window or door to allow the hot air to escape and cool air to circulate.
- Clean the Pump. Evaporative coolers need the water pump cleaned. If the pump of your evaporative cooling system is not maintained, water will not wet the pads allowing the cooler to do its job.
- Maintain the Fan. If the fan in your evaporate cooler makes a noise, or the fan does not work, the fan requires maintenance – repair or replacement.
- Maintain the Collector. The collector within your evaporative cooler also needs to be tested and tightened regularly otherwise your evaporative cooler will stop working.
- Check the Power. Evaporative coolers need the power to operate. If your evaporative cooler is not working, check if someone has unplugged the power supply!
- Maintain Drainage. If drainage is not maintained, your evaporative cooler may leak water into your house. If your evaporative cooler is leaking, turn it off immediately, then check for:
- broken or loose tiles.
- any damage or block in the drain.
