Swamp Cooler vs. Refrigerated Air
A swamp cooler has a water line that feeds water into porous pads lining the walls of the cooler. Then a fan inside the cooler draws outside air through the pads. As the outside air passes through the wet pads, evaporation cools this air which is then circulated through the home. Refrigerated air is described below. If there is any rust or corrosion, if it’s just not cooling enough, or it’s feeling its age, we can install a new system in a flash.
Refrigerated Cooling
A refrigerated cooling system uses a chemical that, as it changes from a liquid to a gas and back again, chills air that is then circulated through your home. We can inspect, repair or replace that system, too. It’s very smart to have your refrigerated system cleaned and inspected at the beginning of our hot-weather season.

Swamp Cooler Repair Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my swamp cooler last?
A swamp cooler can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years depending on how well it is cared for. To help extend the lifespan of your swamp cooler, it’s important to inspect it and clean it annually by removing any debris such as leaves, dirt or feathers. Additionally, make sure to change your cooler pads at least once a year when you do a seasonal air conversion. In the winter, you need to ensure that you winterize your swamp cooler to protect it from damage in freezing temperatures. If you live in a region with hard water, you should also be sure to check your pump strainer frequently so that sediment buildup doesn’t block the flow of water. Taking these preventive measures will help ensure that your swamp cooler has the maximum possible lifespan. But if this sounds like a lot of work, you can always rely on our expert technicians to take care of it for you instead. Call Rocketman Plumbing at 505-243-1227 and we’ll get you on a maintenance schedule to keep your swamp cooler in top shape all year round.
Will a swamp cooler be cheaper?
When you’re considering whether to use a swamp cooler or an air conditioner to cool your home, it’s important to look at overall cost of installations and long-term usage. Generally, swamp coolers are going to be cheaper to install than central air conditioners, since they take up less space and use simpler technology. However, when it comes to running a swamp cooler or a central air conditioner, the rates will vary depending on where you live and how much you need to use the appliance. While swamp coolers require less electricity than an air conditioner, they do use up water and they are less efficient in hot, humid areas. In order to make the best decision for your home, we’d recommend weighing the pros and cons of using a swamp cooler versus using refrigerated air. And if you need help deciding which home climate control system is best for your needs, give Rocketman Plumbing a call at 505-243-1227. We’d be happy to discuss your options with you so that you and your family can stay comfortable all year long.
How often should swamp cooler pads be replaced?
Swamp coolers, or evaporative coolers, are a good way to keep your home cool and comfortable during the hot, dry summer months. But swamp coolers need to be maintained for proper operation, and one of the most important parts of maintenance is routinely replacing the cooler pads. Swamp cooler pads hold onto water. Air passes over the water and into your home, which is how your swamp cooler lowers the temperature in your house. These pads can get dirty and clogged with contaminates like dust, leaves, and dirt, which can reduce their efficiency and create an unpleasant smell. You should replace them at least once per season to ensure that they remain in good condition. If you aren’t able to take care of that on your own, you can always call Rocketman Plumbing. Our technicians can handle your swamp cooler’s routine maintenance, including changing the cooler pads, to ensure your appliance runs smoothly all summer long. We can also take care of the winterization process to protect your swamp cooler from freezing temperatures and extend its lifespan.

Eventually, your swamp cooler will need parts fixed or replaced over time. If you’re worried about the cost of repairing your swamp cooler, you’ll be happy to know that it’s generally not super expensive.
