Evaporative Air Conditioning
Evaporative air conditioning harnesses a simple, natural process to cool your home.
A rooftop unit draws warm, dry outside air through wet filter pads—as the water evaporates, it absorbs heat, lowering the air temperature. This cooled, fresh air then travels through ductwork to every room and exits via open windows or vents, creating continuous airflow.
Evaporative coolers are particularly suited to Adelaide’s dry climate and have very low running costs because they use just a fan and a small water pump.
At Paterson Air Conditioning, we supply and install a range of evaporative systems and design duct layouts to suit your home’s roof structure and room arrangement.
Proper installation is crucial for efficient operation.
Our technicians position the rooftop unit securely, connect water lines, and run insulated ducts to each outlet.
Routine maintenance is essential as it keeps evaporative coolers effective and hygienic.
We replace or clean pads, inspect pumps and fans, clean sumps and water distribution components, and flush mineral deposits.
We can also prepare your unit for winter shutdown and restart it in spring.
If your evaporative cooler stops pumping, produces hot air, or leaks, our service team will promptly diagnose the issue and arrange a suitable repair or recommend upgrades.
With honest pricing, flexible payment options, and our lifetime labour guarantee, we offer natural, energy-saving cooling you can trust.
