Evaporative Cooler Cleaning: Essential Maintenance for Optimal Performance

Evaporative coolers, also known as swamp coolers, are a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to cool homes and commercial spaces in dry climates. To maintain their efficiency and ensure they provide clean, cool air, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential.

Enhanced Cooling Efficiency: Over time, dust, dirt, and mineral deposits can accumulate on the cooler’s pads, fan, and water distribution system. Regular cleaning ensures these components operate at peak efficiency, providing optimal cooling performance.
Improved Air Quality: Dirty pads and components can harbor mold, mildew, and bacteria, which can be dispersed into the air. Cleaning the cooler helps maintain good indoor air quality, reducing the risk of respiratory issues.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: Routine maintenance prevents the buildup of debris and mineral deposits that can cause wear and tear on the cooler’s components. This extends the lifespan of the unit and reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements.
Energy Savings: A well-maintained evaporative cooler operates more efficiently, using less energy to achieve the desired cooling effect. This leads to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact.

Choosing a Professional Evaporative Cleaning Service

Clean air ducts contribute to a healthier work environment, reducing the spread of airborne illnesses and enhancing overall employee well-being.

Choose a company with experienced technicians who are knowledgeable about evaporative coolers and their maintenance requirements.

Shutting Down the System: Before vent cleaning, the cooler is turned off and disconnected from the power source to ensure safety.
Removing and Cleaning the Pads: The cooler’s pads are removed and inspected for damage. They are then cleaned or replaced if necessary. Duct cleaning can involve rinsing with water or using a mild detergent to remove dirt and mineral deposits.
Cleaning the Water Tank: The water tank or reservoir is drained and cleaned to remove sediment and mineral buildup. A mixture of water and vinegar or a specialized cleaner can be used to dissolve stubborn deposits.
Inspecting and Cleaning the Fan and Motor: The fan and motor are inspected for dust and debris. These components are cleaned to ensure smooth operation. Lubrication of the motor bearings may also be performed if needed.
Checking the Water Distribution System: The water distribution system, including the pump and hoses, is inspected for blockages and cleaned to ensure even water flow over the pads.
Reassembling and Testing: After cleaning, the cooler is reassembled, refilled with fresh water, and tested to ensure it is operating correctly. This includes checking for proper airflow and cooling performance.

Just had James finish cleaning our Cooling ducts and we could not be happier with his work. He has a pride and passion to do a great job.

Emily, Greensborough

I’m not one to give reviews but rely heavily on them for a good experience. I called another company but they were just too expensive and thought i would get the ducts cleaned first. From the get go Robert helped me book it in quickly and efficiently. James came and did such a fantastic job. 12years without a clean and it was definitely needed. James even did a Carbon Monoxide as part of the service which was great. Very professional and reliable company.
