Swamp Coolers

Added: Jun 5th, 2008
Also known as evaporative coolers, these clever devices work especially well in dry climates. Just like ours. Last year we recorded a 4% humidity here in Reno, and that is almost unheard of outside of laboratories. Swamp coolers will save you a ****load on your power bill. Our swamp cooler last year measured a 25 degree drop in ambient temperature. From 95 to 70. And it didn't cost an arm and a leg. You can put a small unit into one of your windows, and hook it up to a simple timer to turn it on in the early morning for hot days. It will help to keep you from using your expensive AC unit quite so often. It is a great supplemental device for both homes and business to efficiently cool.
