Is your air conditioning system working, but the energy bills still rising? Are you considering replacing your current system, but aren’t sure whether a central air system or a swamp cooler (i.e., evaporative cooler) would suit you best? We have good news for you: Denver’s dry, low-moisture climate is a cost advantage for the Denver homeowner, for one reason: the swamp cooler. Swamp coolers are a type of evaporative cooling system (as opposed to condensing systems) that uses evaporation to actually cool the incoming air. They typically reduce a home’s electricity bill by 75% compared to air conditioning, and the units themselves cost 30% less than central air conditioning systems. They add moisture to the air, contribute to the prevention of clothing and furniture deteriorating, and are easier to maintain than a central air conditioning system. At Blue Sky Plumbing and Heating, our Colorado-licensed HVAC technicians have years of experience in repairing, replacing and installing all types of swamp coolers.
Denver Swamp Cooler Repair
Many things can go wrong with a swamp cooler that necessitate repair work, especially if it hasn’t been maintained in a while. The water pads used to facilitate evaporation may not be the most efficient material for your model. The belt on the motor can snap, the motor itself can burn out or run inconsistently, or the water pump can get clogged or even fail. Depending on your particular environment, mold can grow inside the unit, causing a pungent smell. Let our certified HVAC technicians take a comprehensive look at your unit’s problems, and we’ll fully repair it so as to reduce malfunctions and downtime.
Denver Swamp Cooler Replacement
So you’ve been taking advantage of the cost savings of a swamp cooler for some years now, but it’s time to buy a new one and the model you bought has been discontinued. Or, you simply need a new one, but aren’t sure what’s really going to be worth your money. Did you know that there are literally hundreds of brands of evaporative coolers, ranging from one hundred dollars to twelve hundred dollars? Not all brands would be a right fit for your Denver home, yet at the same time the best brands (for example, the Breezair) are not as expensive as you might think. We at Blue Sky Plumbing and Heating will make sure that you get the right cooler for your home, one that is proportionate to your square footage (to ensure adequate cooling), and one that is placed in a convenient location so that you can maintain it as easily as possible.
Denver Swamp Cooler Installation
Any hardware store will sell you a swamp cooler, but what they often won’t tell you is that a general knowledge of duct installation, plumbing, and basic 110 volt electrical knowledge is actually needed to install the unit. There is preparatory duct work involved, measurements, possible multiple outlets (which require configuration), and even the assessment of placing the swamp cooler in the correct location. A Denver swamp cooler is a great savings, but make sure you have a licensed HVAC professional that can ensure that it is installed safely and correctly.
