Sorry dude but a swamp cooler saves a lot of money over an air conditioner, period! I live in central california 110 degrees! Yes, after 92 the swamp cooler does little but push air. But contrary to opinion you can run a portable air conditioner and a swamp at the same time when it hits the 90"s. I have for years. So my portable air conditioner has to dehumidify extra, big deal. With 2 extra portable fans I keep my place at 82 this way and an electric bill around $110-$160 for the month. My daughter has air and keeps her place around 70 degrees. Her electric bill is $400 -$500 a month! I can live with 10 degrees to save a couple hundred a month! Oh, and one trick we do at night is open the windows and trap that morning 70"s 80"s air. Many times we make it until noon or so before we have to turn on the equipment. And if that does not work just hop in your car and go to Low's.
You also forgot to add that it doesn’t expose chemicals into the atmosphere. It is powered natural resources! Such as the evaporation of water into vapor that cools your home.
I wish I could install an attic fan into my house but the swamp cooler is all we can really use because of the way our roof is designed (our roof is not pitched and there's no attic). It's great on my electric bill, too. We also have central AC so we switch to that when it's just too hot for the swamp to do anything (100F and up, depending on humidity). On cool nights I just turn swamp fan on to bring that air in. Our house can get down to the 50's on some nights and that's just the way i like it.
Ugh. Attic fans pull your conditioned air OUT of the house through holes in the walls and top plates. Don't listen to this guy for anything efficiency-related. Come on man, do better.
wow so give up cheap cooling..... you use a swamp cooler on dry days and they work perfectly fine I do agree with the attic fan too but not swapping a cooler for a fan Lmao that's just stupid
mcsew2k yeh i guess thats what he was discussing hes changing a straight swamp setup to a a/c setup still like having a swamper they are alot better on electric
This is the point. The other thing is evaporative coolers need maintenance. People don't/can't/won't maintain things and invariably it leads to issues to where it does not work well if at all. The stain on the roof is an example of this. The float valve to in this unit needed replacing. The pads need to be replaced *every* year. The scale buildup inside the unit needs to be dealt with or the holes get clogged. From the video here it is clear in my mind that no maintenance was done on the unit and it ceased working. Then he got sold a new $3000 AC unit. I agree the temperature thing is baloney. It all relates to humidity and knowing how to properly use (and maintain) the unit. That said, the most cooling that you can expect to get from an evaporative unit is 20 to 25 degrees. On our hot 100 degree days you can get down to 75 degrees and for a lot of people that simply is not enough they want it down to 65 degrees which is like winter to me. In order to do that reliably you probably need to move to an AC unit.
Ummmmmm........WTF!!!??? Instead of having Cold Air Blown down on me, you want a gust of hot air sucked up and out? I'm not very knowledgable about this topic but sucking hot air out of a home with no AC/EC, aren't you constantly sucking hot air if there is no cool air? Leaving the room at its Room Temperture, but wouldn't that depend on the temperture outside?Why wouldn't you just work with the EC and install both instead of competing? Seems like it would be more efficient that way. One blowing in Cold Air to rise the Heat while the other sucks out the hot air.
I have a swamp cooler on my 31 foot tiny house and it cools it faster then ac. Keeps it a nice 74 degrees even when its 100+ outside and i have videos to prove it! This guys full of crap. Hes showing a cooler that probably has never had a hand of service done to it since it was put up there no wonder why its leaking. But i bet you its still cheaper to fix /replace vs then a AC! Not to mention cost to run!
"Get rid of your swamp cooler because we can charge more for an AC!"
This is such bad advice for a desert climate. Shame.

Totally agree!

When it gets over 102 here we begin propping up one of the attic pannels.
have BOTH

I think I heard him say, "When we install AC we remove the EC and vent the attic with a fan."
mcsew2k yeh i guess thats what he was discussing hes changing a straight swamp setup to a a/c setup still like having a swamper they are alot better on electric
This is temperature upper limit is nonsense. Only humidity matters.

if you could hear him it might be helpful
Robert Baka ..... right!!
Useless.
