Swamp Cooler Repair El Paso, Texas
Swamp coolers are an efficient and cost friendly alternative to your run of the mill air conditioner. The appliance uses a fan to draw warm outside air through a set of wet pads which proceeds to cool the air through evaporation. This simple but effective method reduces the air temperature entering your home by at least 15 degrees. A swamp cooler also adds moisture into the air which makes it a great choice for regions where the climate is considered dry. Like any appliance in your home, your swamp cooler needs a routine maintenance plan to assure that you will not have to make frequent calls to a swamp cooler repair company. Listed below are 4 maintenance tips that will keep your appliance working at its top efficiency level.
- Cleaning the units exterior is a simple but necessary step for ensuring your swamp cooler performs with the utmost proficiency. Before wiping down the appliance with a damp cloth, make sure it is turned off. Using harsh chemicals to clean the outside of the appliance is unnecessary and can potentially damage the swamp coolers exterior.
- The cooling pads in the unit need to be checked on a regular basis. If the pads appear cracked or worn, you will need to replace them. In most cases, the pads should be changed at the beginning of the cooling season and midway through the season.
- Managing the unit’s fan belt is a critical step in your appliance's maintenance plan. You should inspect the belt for tension and signs of deterioration. The fan belt will need to be replaced f there are cracks in it or you notice it is sagging.
- Keeping a close eye on the swamp cooler's water level is a must. For the appliance to operate correctly, the water level should be checked frequently, so it does not become low.
