Re: Evaporate cooler
Evap energy consumption isn't that much cheaper. (Try and find out the power consumption of a evap system ie check manufactures websites ect they wont provide you with a figure).
Our Evap system is connected to the entire house consumes the a little higher than a small split system which is in the bedroom area of the house.
The split system can cool the entire bedroom area easily ie half the house. IE easily reduce the temperature under 23 deg on a 40 deg day.
Where as the evap cooling system the discharge temperature on a 40 deg day is close to 30 deg.
The power consumption of the split system and the evap are roughly the same I cant remember the exact figures but the evap uses more power. (I only found out the electrical power consumption when I had to rebuild the evap system new fan motor ect. To get the firght size motor I had to found out the power consumption of the motor)
Two split systems (a bit less than double the electrical power consumption) could cool our entire house quickly and wouldn't need to run constantly. I would estimate if you set the thermostat to 28 deg the split systems duty cycle would be lower and would probably cost about the same as the evap.
It comes down to what you would rather have, cooler less humid more comfortable house and slightly more energy consumption or warmer humid less comftable house with potentially slightly lower energy bill.
20-30 years ago ducted evap cooling was a truck load cheaper the main incentive of evap cooling. Where as today split systems with inverter technology is much more energy efficient. If I was building a new house I would install 2 split systems as it would be cheaper to purchase and install.

Re: Evaporate cooler
This is why I was saying with your evaporative cooler highly unlikely your able to set a temperature all your doing is getting a themo read

Re: Evaporate cooler
Two options either marketing bull to think you have a product with more capability/options.
Or has the option for a ducted heating system and the same control panel controls both.
Evap cooling are either on or off. ie fan blowing or not and cooling is when the water is pumping.

You cannot control the temp.
