An evaporative cooler is a home cooling product that is an alternative to central or window air conditioners.

How does it Work?

Evaporative coolers are usually mounted on the side of the house or roof. The cooler is made of an air handler and a wet pad. A water line is connected to the cooler to keep the pad wet. The air handler draws outside air into the cabinet through the pad, and as the air passes through, water evaporates and draws heat out of the air. This cooled air is then directed into the home. Windows must be opened in the home to operate this product.
