Evaporative coolers have two major advantages over traditional air conditioners: energy efficiency and sustainability. Both are due to the fact that evaporative coolers use far less electricity to operate; in fact, a standard air conditioner can use up to seven times as many watts of electricity. This is because, in general, evaporative coolers only need to run the fan that draws airflow over the cooling pad. Standard air conditioning systems, on the other hand, rely on a compressor to press liquid refrigerant into a smaller space and then move it across a heat exchanger to pull heat out of the air. This process requires a great deal of electricity to accomplish, in addition to the fan that send cold air out into the room.
Using less electricity with an evaporative cooler means lowering your carbon footprint as well as paying less on your utility bills. It should also be noted that evaporative coolers use only water and no chemical refrigerants, which are harmful to the ozone layer.
