Save on Power, Not on Comfort

One of the biggest advantages of evaporative cooling is how efficiently it runs. These systems can use up to 75% less electricity than standard air conditioners, making them a smart choice for budget-conscious households and commercial properties alike. They're also better for indoor air quality, constantly pushing out old air and replacing it with fresh, filtered air from outside—no recycled air, no dryness, no headaches.


Unger Air offers full installation, maintenance and repair services for all major evaporative cooling brands. Whether you’re installing a system in a new build, upgrading an old one or booking a seasonal clean and check, we’ve got you covered. Our team will make sure your system is operating efficiently, with clean pads, strong airflow and no hidden issues that could reduce performance.


Simple to run, cost-effective to maintain and ideal for South Tamworth’s dry climate—evaporative cooling just makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is evaporative cooling and how does it work?

    Evaporative cooling is a natural and energy-efficient method of cooling indoor spaces. It works by drawing warm, dry outside air through water-soaked filter pads inside a unit. As the air passes through these pads, the water evaporates, removing heat from the air and lowering its temperature. This freshly cooled air is then circulated throughout the home or building using a fan system.


    Unlike refrigerated air conditioning, which recycles the same indoor air, evaporative cooling constantly brings in fresh air from outside, creating a steady flow and improving ventilation. It works best in hot, dry climates where humidity is low, as the evaporation process is most effective when the air has a low moisture content. Because it relies on natural processes and uses less energy, evaporative cooling is often cheaper to run than traditional systems.

  • What are the benefits of evaporative cooling?

    Evaporative cooling offers several key benefits, especially in dry, hot climates:


    • Lower running costs – These systems use significantly less electricity than traditional air conditioners, as they rely on water evaporation rather than refrigeration.
    • Fresh air circulation – Instead of recycling indoor air, evaporative coolers bring in a constant flow of fresh air, improving indoor air quality.
    • Eco-friendly operation – Because they use less energy and natural processes, evaporative coolers have a smaller carbon footprint.
    • Humidity control – They add a small amount of moisture to the air, which can help reduce dryness in skin, eyes and airways.
    • Simple maintenance – Basic cleaning and pad replacement are usually all that’s required to keep the system in good shape.

    These benefits make evaporative cooling a popular choice for homes, businesses and schools in regions with dry, hot weather.

  • Does evaporative cooling use a lot of water?

    Evaporative coolers do use water as part of their cooling process, but not excessively. On average, a household unit might use 15 to 25 litres of water per hour, depending on the system size, temperature and humidity levels. While this is more water than traditional refrigerated systems, it’s important to weigh that against the significantly lower electricity consumption of evaporative cooling.


    To manage water usage, most modern units have water-saving features like automatic shutoff when not in use, water level controls and efficient drainage systems. Regular maintenance also helps reduce unnecessary water waste, ensuring the system only uses what it needs.
