El Paso’s summer monsoon season has been extremely active this year. While much of our area is benefiting from extra rain–replenishing supplies and creating beautiful landscapes–living in a home without refrigerated air is creating an unbearably hot, humid, and sticky mess. Why? Swamp coolers work by evaporating water to cool the air. With swamp coolers, too much humidity outside makes a home feel extremely hot and wet inside.
“When humidity levels hit 35-50%, we know all swamp coolers are going to slow up their capacity for cooling. When you hit that 50% they basically stop working altogether,” says Eric Alvarez, president of Expert HVAC and Refrigeration.
The discomfort caused by excessive humidity in a home with an evaporative or swamp cooler is unbearable. But not just that, humidity can damage the upholstery, woods, and other décor in a house and promote the growth of mold and mildew. Bad odors are enhanced and indoor air quality is at its worse.
Refrigerated air is a homeowner’s best solution for our current conditions, as it maintains indoor humidity levels, comfort and temperature control no matter how hot or humid it is outside.
Expert HVAC and Refrigeration provides free surveys of your current space and cooling system when providing an estimate for converting to refrigerated air. We also consider the design of your home (whether one, two or three levels) and will hear your other comfort needs and desires, like if there are additions and/or back rooms that are consistently too hot or too cold.
If this is the type of comprehensive estimate you want if considering a conversion from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, give us a call.
Converting can be affordable, with financing for low monthly payments. We offer an easy application process with rapid approvals at the time of your estimate.
