Swamp-Cooler Repair and Installation in Northern Nevada
How a swamp cooler differs from central air
An evaporative cooler pulls outside air across water-soaked pads. As the water evaporates, the air cools before it is blown into the home. Central air conditioning uses refrigerant and a compressor instead. They are different technologies with different equipment and service needs.
Repair or installation
Repair is for an existing cooler that is not cooling well, is leaking, has a motor or water problem, or will not run. Installation is for adding a cooler or replacing one that has reached the end of its life.
If you are deciding between a swamp cooler and central air, you can ask about air-conditioning replacement and installation as well.
Seasonal timing
Swamp coolers are typically started up in late spring and shut down in fall. Requesting repair before the hottest weeks makes scheduling easier.
