Frequently Asked Questions

Does a swamp cooler work in the High Desert?

Yes - HD is one of the best climates in the US for evap. Our summer relative humidity averages 18-32 percent. Swamp coolers cool by evaporating water; the drier the air, the bigger the cooling effect. On a 95-degree HD day a tuned unit drops supply air to 70-75 degrees. Above 100-105 outside, evap runs out of headroom and central AC becomes the better tool.

How much does it cost to run a swamp cooler vs central AC?

About 1/4 to 1/8 the electricity for equivalent cooling effect, plus 3-10 gallons of water per hour. On SCE TOU-D-PRIME peak rates, a swamp cooler running 8 hours costs roughly $0.80-$1.50 per day; equivalent central AC runs $4-$8. The trade-off is evap loses cooling above 100 degrees while central AC keeps working.

How often do swamp cooler pads need replacing?

Aspen pads: every spring (annually). Munters / rigid media pads: every 3-5 years depending on water hardness. HD's hard water shortens pad life vs softer-water regions. We swap pads as part of pre-summer startup service.

Can JC Energy Solutions convert my swamp cooler to central AC?

Yes. Full conversion runs $5,800-$12,000 depending on home size and whether existing ductwork can be reused. We remove the swamp cooler, patch the roof or wall penetration, install a new condenser + air handler + thermostat + new refrigerant lines, and commission the system. Permit pulled, inspection coordinated. Pairs with our AC installation service.

Should I just upgrade to AC or keep my swamp cooler?

Depends on three factors. Square footage: under 1,500 sq ft + HD location, evap usually wins on running cost. Peak afternoon temps: if you regularly hit 100+ degrees indoor with evap running, AC is the right tool. Operating budget: evap is cheaper to run but more annual maintenance touch. We will walk both numbers on a free consultation.
