Evaporative cooling is an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution ideal for Melbourne’s dry climate. This system draws fresh air through moistened pads, cooling it before distributing it throughout your home or business. Our HVAC experience ensures correct sizing, pad selection, and airflow for reliable performance.

Why Choose Evaporative Cooling?

  • Energy Efficiency: Uses up to 90% less energy than traditional air conditioners.
  • Healthier Air: Circulates 100% fresh air, reducing allergens and improving indoor air quality.
  • Eco-Friendly: Minimal environmental impact due to lower energy consumption.
  • Cost Savings: Lower installation and operational costs compared to refrigerated systems. Professional HVAC setup maximises efficiency and longevity.

Is Evaporative right for you?

Evaporative air conditioners perform best when doors and windows stay open, allowing proper ventilation as cool air replaces warm air. This system depends on a steady water supply and suits Melbourne’s hot, dry climate. Our qualified team specialises in air conditioning  services and handles repairs for all types of evaporative systems in Eltham and surrounding areas. Expert HVAC guidance helps assess property layout, ventilation, and water supply needs.

These systems use a central cooling unit on your roof with duct outlets around your home. The unit draws in fresh outdoor air, moving it through moistened pads where water evaporation cools the air. The cooled and filtered air then circulates, giving your home a fresh breeze.

Why choose Evaporative Air Conditioning?

Cost-Effective:

Evaporative air conditioning is a more economical choice when compared to refrigerated systems. Its design allows for significantly lower power consumption per hour, leading to substantial savings on utility bills. Installation costs are up to 50% cheaper than equivalent capacity refrigerated systems, and operational expenses are approximately seven times lower.

Eco-Friendly:

In addition to its cost efficiency, evaporative air conditioning is environmentally friendly. Unlike refrigerated systems, it does not utilize CFCs, which are known to harm the ozone layer. Moreover, evaporative coolers consume less electricity, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller ecological footprint.

Provides Cool, Moist Air

Traditional air conditioning systems can potentially dehydrate your skin, as the circulating air devoid of humidity can be aggravating. An evaporative air conditioner, however, operates on a completely natural principle of cooling air through water evaporation. So not only does it cool the air but adds moisture to it, creating a comfortable indoor environment. This is especially beneficial for residents in Eltham and other parts of Melbourne.

The moist air produced by an evaporative air conditioner can be beneficial for people who suffer from respiratory health issues, especially individuals prone to allergies or asthma. The gentle, moisturizing effect can help soothe irritated airways and alleviate symptoms such as coughing and congestion. Targeted HVAC controls can fine-tune airflow to balance cooling with comfort.

FAQ – Evaporative Air Conditioning

If your evaporative cooler isn’t performing well, it could be due to clogged or worn-out cooling pads, a faulty water pump, blocked ducts, or insufficient water supply. Regular maintenance—such as cleaning or replacing pads and checking water lines—can restore cooling efficiency. If issues persist, a professional technician can diagnose and repair deeper faults for you.

Installation costs typically range from $3,000 to $6,000 for a standard home, depending on the system size, number of outlets, and complexity of ductwork required. Evaporative systems are generally more affordable to install and run than refrigerated air conditioning, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious households.

No—evaporative cooling relies on a continuous flow of fresh air. For the system to work effectively, you need to keep some doors or windows open. This allows the cool, moist air to push out warm air and maintain proper ventilation throughout your home. Running the system with everything closed can lead to poor cooling and excess humidity.

Yes, evaporative cooling is ideal for Melbourne’s typically hot and dry summers. These systems work best in low-humidity conditions, providing fresh, filtered air and adding moisture to the environment. However, on very humid days, the cooling effect may be less noticeable compared to refrigerated systems.

Professional installation includes assessing your home for optimal unit and duct placement, preparing access points, installing the rooftop cooling unit and ductwork, connecting water and electrical supplies, and testing the system for safe, efficient operation. Most installations are completed within a day, though larger or more complex homes may take longer.
