As your local evaporative air conditioner specialists, there’s one question we’ve been asked time and time again: does evaporative cooling actually work here in Perth? Keeping our families cool during the scorching Perth summers is something we’re passionate about, so we thought we’d go ahead and crunch the numbers and put that Perth catchphrase – “at least it’s a dry heat!” – to the test.

Looking online, nobody can seem to come to a real conclusion, and asking your friends and family often results in anecdotal arguments and no clear answer. This is further complicated by evaporative air conditioners not having as vigorous energy standards as other refrigerated systems – but that doesn’t mean the research hasn’t been done. Join us as we walk through the processes behind evaporative aircon effectiveness by collating the research and crunching the numbers for Perth and surrounds, so you don’t have to.
