We are a family-owned business with ten years operating and a full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence, working these streets most weeks of the year.
How Evaporative Cooling Works in Our Dry Climate
The system is simple, which is part of why it runs so cheap. It has no refrigerant, no compressor doing heavy work, and one fan moving air through water-soaked pads.

Which Valley View Homes Suit Evaporative
The housing stock here shapes the answer. Most homes date to the mid-1960s through the 1970s, single-storey brick veneer on standard blocks, and that layout suits evaporative well.

Where It Falls Short
Cooling Costs Through the Hot Months
Running cost is where evaporative earns its place, because a heatwave run of consecutive days over 40 is exactly when refrigerated systems cost the most per hour.
Steady through a heatwave.
The honest caveat.

Questions
Evaporative Cooling Questions, Answered
Do evaporative coolers work on humid days?
They lose effectiveness on the handful of humid days each Adelaide summer, and we tell you honestly at the quote, because a household that cannot accept that is better served by refrigerated cooling instead.
Do I really need to open windows while it runs?
Yes, the unit pushes outside air through wet pads and straight out again, so a few windows or vents open partway are what let it cool the house at all.
How often do the pads need replacing?
Most pads last a few seasons with yearly cleaning, and homes near the Dry Creek corridor and busy roads tend to need them done sooner because the incoming air carries more dust.
What should we do about winter if we install evaporative?
An evaporative unit does not heat at all, so winter needs its own plan, and we size any heating system alongside it at the quote.
Is the 10% pensioner discount available on evaporative work?
Yes, the 10% pensioner discount applies, and new customers get $50 off first service, with the fixed quote approved before any work starts.
