What Is a Swamp Cooler, and How Does It Work?

Evaporative coolers, more commonly known as swamp coolers in the United States, are excellent air conditioning appliances for areas that are hot with low levels of humidity as they use evaporation instead of refrigerants. This system uses one of the oldest air conditioning methods in the world. In fact, the ancient Egyptians were the first to use evaporation to cool their homes by employing windcatchers, which were essentially wet blankets hung on walls and doors that would “catch” the wind and naturally cool the air. Similarly, they would fan air over jugs of water to achieve the same end.

Today, swamp coolers combine those two ancient processes by drawing clean outside air over damp pads which then cool the air naturally through evaporation. At Blue Sky Plumbing & Heating, we recommend the installation of these appliances because they are effective and efficient air conditioners. Our technicians are experienced with these unique air conditioners and are prepared to perform expert Denver swamp cooler services, from installations and replacements to repairs and maintenance.

Reliable Swamp Cooler Repairs

If your swamp cooler stops working correctly, you need a professional who can quickly get to the bottom of whatever is wrong. Our technicians are well-prepared to perform proper evaporative cooler inspections, problem diagnosis, troubleshooting, and dependable repairs that will fix your unit and keep it running efficiently.

When you request our Denver swamp cooler services, we will first listen to you describe the problem. Once we have determined the nature of the issue, we’ll know what we need to do to fix it for you. After explaining our recommended solution and providing an upfront estimate, we will work fast and won’t stop until you have the cooling capacity you need.

Our certified swamp cooler repair technicians at Blue Sky are committed to providing the best and most affordable repair services to our customers. We have four generations of HVAC experience behind our belts, so we know how to handle almost every swamp cooler repair request you could make.

We are prepared to handle just about any swamp cooler problem, including:

• Malfunctioning fans. The fan is one of the most important parts of an evaporative cooler. If it stops spinning, no cool air will blow out from the pads, keeping the water stagnant and encouraging mold and mildew growth as well as foul odors. We can fit a new fan belt, replace the motor, or repair or replace the fan itself if it is damaged or rusted.
• Leaks. Hard water build-up in the reservoir, worn-out pads, and faulty float valve installations can all cause a swamp cooler leak. Our team of specialists can pinpoint the issue with ease and patch it up in no time.
• Mineral buildups. Over time, the water used in a swamp cooler can leave behind mineral deposits which affect the efficiency of the cooling pads and can lead to a reduction in cooling performance. Regular maintenance and cleaning can prevent this issue.
• Incorrect sizing. If your swamp cooler is too small for the space it needs to cool, it will not function effectively and may wear out more rapidly from overuse. Conversely, a cooler that is too large for the space can lead to excessive humidity and discomfort.

• Unusual noises. Strange sounds emanating from your swamp cooler can be indicative of motor issues or a damaged fan belt. A quick response to these symptoms can prevent more serious problems down the line.
