Evaporative air conditioning for suitable Melbourne homes.
A fan draws outdoor air through wet cooling pads and supplies it to the home through ducts. The air is cooled by evaporation and must have a path back outside. Suitable ventilation openings are part of normal operation, rather than simply an optional way to use the system.
Direct evaporative cooling generally works best in hot, dry conditions. Its cooling effect reduces as outdoor humidity rises, and it adds moisture to the incoming air. A controller does not guarantee the same room temperature control as refrigerated air conditioning.
It provides cooling, not reverse cycle heating. Compare it with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning if you need heating and cooling from one system. See Seeley International’s explanation of evaporative operation.
A direct evaporative cooler supplies cooled outdoor air rather than recirculating indoor air. Adequate exhaust openings are needed to maintain airflow; the required openings depend on the system and layout.
Electricity use can be lower than refrigerated cooling in suitable conditions, but there is no universal percentage saving. Compare the selected model, operating conditions, electricity use, water use and maintenance requirements.
Fan speed, equipment selection, duct design and mounting affect noise. Compare the manufacturer’s sound information and consider bedrooms, neighbouring properties and outdoor unit location.
Cooling pads, water components and the cabinet need maintenance in line with the owner’s manual. Arrange servicing and seasonal shutdown or start-up work as required for the selected system.
Outlet placement and ventilation paths determine how cooled air moves through the home. The system needs to be sized and designed for the rooms served and the conditions in which it will operate.

Evaporative cooling is not suitable for every Melbourne home or every weather condition. We assess your layout, cooling needs, available duct space, ventilation openings and the practicality of a water supply and drainage arrangement.
If you want more precise temperature control or one system for heating and cooling, we also discuss suitable refrigerated alternatives.
Each of these can influence what is most appropriate for your home.
Our team look beyond your budget, taking each of these considerations into account.
We’ll also consider the presence of existing systems.
We help Melbourne homeowners compare evaporative cooling with refrigerated options based on the property and expected use. Choose a system with a clear understanding of its humidity limitations, ventilation requirements and ongoing water and maintenance needs.
Our Melbourne air conditioning installation guide explains the wider system choices and installation process.
