Beat the Heat with the Right Evaporative Cooler

An evaporative cooler, also called a swamp cooler, lowers the air temperature by passing the air over water-saturated pads, which causes evaporation and makes the air cooler. They are an energy-efficient option that is ideal for areas with low humidity. If you’re looking to invest in an evaporative cooler, browse our selection, which includes:

Portable Evaporative Coolers

If you want an evaporative cooler that can easily be moved from room to room or to different areas of your home, portable evaporative coolers are a good option. These coolers are usually smaller than other types and are often on wheels for simple movement. If you’re looking for a portable evaporative cooler with variable speeds or a remote-controllable design, you can find options in our selection. We also provide models that are UV-, weather- and corrosion-resistant for added durability.

Window Evaporative Coolers

If you’re looking for an evaporative cooler that can cool down a single room, opt for a window model. Similar to some air conditioners, window evaporative coolers are installed into a window and help decrease the temperature. We have options for rooms of different sizes, including 600, 1,100, 1,400 and 1,600 square feet. Many have two speeds for versatility and remote controls for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions about Evaporative Coolers

Why are evaporative coolers not ideal for use in humid areas?

Evaporative coolers are not ideal for humid areas because the air there is already saturated with moisture. Since evaporative coolers work by passing air through pads that create evaporation, air that is already moisturized can’t absorb much more water, leading to less evaporation and therefore less cooling.

Do evaporative coolers need a constant water source?

Yes, evaporative coolers need a constant supply of water to work properly, since more water is needed to replace the water that evaporates from the unit to cool the air. Therefore, evaporative coolers may not be ideal for use in areas with droughts or water restrictions.

How do you prevent odor from forming in your evaporative cooler?

If the pads and filters aren’t changed routinely in your evaporative cooler, it can lead to a swampy odor. To prevent this from happening, you should schedule maintenance for your cooler once or twice a year where you change the pads and filters.
