Also known as a “swamp cooler”, evaporative coolers are designed to thrive in dry climates. Unlike standard air conditioners that rely on refrigerants, evaporative coolers work by pulling hot, dry air through water-saturated pads, cooling it naturally. This process not only drops the temperature but also adds a touch of moisture to the air — a game-changer for our arid Colorado summers.
Best of all, they’re cost-effective and energy-efficient. With the right system in place, you can enjoy clean, cool, naturally humidified air throughout your whole home (all without the sticker shock on your utility bill).
Here’s why swamp coolers are so popular in Colorado:

Very effective! Our dry climate is perfect for evaporative cooling. While swamp coolers don’t work well in humid environments, the low humidity in Colorado Springs allows them to drop indoor temps by 15–25°F on hot days — without the energy draw of central AC.
Great question. Air conditioners recycle indoor air and use refrigerants to cool it, which is more energy-intensive and can dry out the air. Swamp coolers pull in fresh outdoor air, cool it with water evaporation, and circulate that air through your home. It’s quieter, greener, and often cheaper to run.
Sizing is based on CFM (cubic feet per minute). We calculate the volume of your home and recommend a system that can move enough air efficiently. For example, a 1,500 sq ft home usually needs a unit that moves about 4,500 CFM. Our techs handle this for you as part of our estimate.
Yes — especially in dry heat. Swamp coolers can lower temps effectively up to around 100°F if the humidity stays low.
We recommend annual spring tune-ups and fall winterization. Maintenance typically includes:
With proper maintenance, a quality evaporative cooler can last 10–20 years. Key factors include usage, water quality, and whether the unit is properly shut down in winter.
Not with us. Our evaporative cooler services in Colorado Springs are quick and easy. We keep things efficient, clean, and respectful of your home. Most installations are completed same-day or next-day, depending on system complexity and roof access.
