Advantages of Air Coolers over Air Conditioning
Air cooler units are less expensive to purchase than comparable air conditioning units.
Air cooler units use significantly less electricity compared to air conditioners.
Air cooler units are portable and can be easily moved around to cool limited areas, allowing you to use less electricity to stay cool and comfortable. Even small A/C units need to be set up to cool a whole room.
Air cooler units don't have the annoying installation troubles of air conditioners.
But as you've probably already guessed, air coolers are not "perfect" and there are some potential disadvantages to them for you to consider before you get one. The potential disadvantages are:
Air coolers aren't as effective at decreasing the discomforts of high humidity as air conditioners are. Air coolers are designed to diminish the discomforting effects of hot temperatures.
Air coolers tend to be high maintenance compared to A/C.
Air coolers need a continual new water supply, which especially means that they might not be as effective as a continually running A/C during a hot, humid night.
Some people with respiratory ailments may find that air coolers exacerbate their problems.
Balanced Solution
Many people are going to fidn that their best solution to saving money while keeping cool and comfortable home interiors during hot months is to use a mixture of air coolers and air conditioning. Simply put, air coolers should be used predominantly and only when their benefits become minor should the more expensive air conditioning units be installed and turned on. However, people who live in smaller homes or in areas of lower humidity, and people who just don't feel overly discomforted by humid conditions, may be able to do away with A/C altogether, replacing it entirely with air cooler units.
Whichever solution is the right one for you, the use of air cooler units will save you money and put less of a burden on our aging electrical grid infrastructure.
