EVAPORATIVE COOLING
AFFORDABLE, BREEZY COOL COMFORT FOR YOUR ENITRE HOME
NATURAL ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOLING FOR SUMMER
Evaporative cooling is a whole-home cooling system that uses fresh outside air and water to naturally cool your home. Warm air is drawn through water-soaked filter pads, cooled through evaporation, and then distributed through ceiling vents throughout your home.
At less than half the running cost of refrigerated air conditioning, evaporative cooling is a very cost effective alternative to cool your entire home.
WHEN USING YOUR
EVAPORATIVE COOLING
OPEN A WINDOW SLIGHTLY
Evaporative cooling works by bringing fresh air into your home — and that air needs somewhere to escape.
Leaving a window slightly open allows warm air to flow out, keeps cool air circulating properly, and helps your system run at its best. Even a small opening makes a big difference.
LOW RUNNING COSTS
Evaporative cooling uses significantly less electricity than refrigerated air conditioning
IDEAL FOR DRY HEAT
This type of cooling system performs exceptionally well in hot, dry climates like Central Victoria
CARBON FOOTPRINT
Lower energy consumption means lower carbon impact, making it better for the environment
FAN ONLY MODE
An evaporative cooler also has a ‘fan only’ mode which allows you to distribute fresh air throughout your home without cooling it
WHOLE HOME COOLING
Cooling can be distributed through ceiling vents throughout your home
IS YOUR EVAP COOLER DUE FOR A SERVICE?
After being used for a long hot summer, and then switched off for the winter months, there's a few key reasons why your evaporative cooler needs a little TLC before you get it going again.
EVAPORATIVE COOLING FAQ
-
Evaporative cooling is a whole-home cooling system that draws warm outside air through water-soaked filter pads. As the air passes through the pads, it cools naturally before being distributed through ceiling vents into your home. It works best in dry climates like Bendigo, where low humidity allows the cooling process to be highly effective.
-
Yes — evaporative cooling performs particularly well in Bendigo’s dry summer conditions. Because the system relies on evaporation, it works most efficiently in low-humidity environments, delivering fresh, cool air throughout the home while keeping windows slightly open for airflow.
-
Installation costs vary depending on your home size, roof access, number of outlets and system capacity. Evaporative cooling is often more affordable to install than refrigerated ducted systems, making it a popular option for whole-home cooling across regional Victoria. We provide tailored quotes based on your home’s layout.
-
Evaporative cooling is less effective in humid conditions and does not provide heating. It also requires windows or doors to be slightly open to allow airflow. While it’s ideal for dry climates like Bendigo, homes needing year-round temperature control may prefer a reverse cycle system.
-
Generally, yes. Evaporative cooling systems use less electricity than refrigerated (reverse cycle) systems because they rely on a fan and water pump rather than a compressor. Running costs are typically lower, particularly during long, hot Bendigo summers.
