Evaporative Changeover in Melbourne
A good eco-friendly home cooling system is one that consumes minimal energy and produces limited emissions in order to provide you and your family with peak comfort and superior temperature regulation capabilities during seasonal extremes. This is what makes ducted refrigerated cooling systems a highly popular option for many Melbourne homes and businesses. Get in touch with Jacob Refrigeration to upgrade evaporative cooling to refrigerated and have an evaporative changeover!
We will call you back to discuss your requirements.
What is evaporative cooling?
Evaporative cooling is as the name suggests. The system cools the air by evaporating water. It draws air from the surrounding fresh air on the outside and then blasts this cool air. Often, evaporative cooling uses much less power and therefore is a more efficient and eco-friendly option. Evaporative cooling also uses fresh air, rather than recycled air, so often people with allergies or asthma also prefer evaporative cooling.
How many windows do you need open for evaporative cooling?
Evaporative cooling utilises fresh air, which means that windows and/ or doors must be open. There is no hard and fast rule, but it is recommended to open the windows furthest away from the A/C’s vents and ducts. It is often recommended to have an opening that is twice the size of the vent opening. However, for refrigerated cooling, windows do not need to be open to cool the home. In fact, it is even recommended that windows are not opened to cool the home.
Can you change evaporative cooling to refrigerated cooling?
Yes, we certainly can perform an evaporative changeover for you. However, the same evaporative cooling ducts cannot be used for the refrigerated cooling ducts as these ducts are very different. It is also not possible to use the existing outlets. Nevertheless, changing from an evaporative cooling system to a refrigerated cooling system is simple for us to do and can be converted any time.
