The first recorded use of a modern swamp cooler can be traced back to the early 20th century. In 1906, a patent was granted to a Brazilian engineer named João Luiz Pascoal de Figueiredo Filho for an invention described as an “artificial breeze machine.”
Well, we’ve come a long way since then!
For the past three decades, swamp coolers, also known as evaporative coolers, have been a staple cooling solution for residents here in Rio Rancho and Albuquerque. As technology advanced and environmental concerns grew, the efficiency of evaporative coolers have undergone significant changes. Let’s take a journey through time and see how Affordable Service HVAC, serving the Rio Rancho area since 1986, were part of these transformations firsthand.
Thirty years ago, swamp coolers were prevalent in homes across Rio Rancho, offering a cost-effective and relatively efficient way to combat the scorching heat. However, they had their limitations. Affordable Service HVAC, having been in business since that time, has seen firsthand the challenges homeowners faced with these systems, from inconsistent cooling to high maintenance requirements.
Improvements in Swamp Coolers
Over the years, Affordable Service HVAC witnessed the evolution of swamp cooler technology. Advances such as variable-speed motors, high-efficiency pads, and digital controls have revolutionized the efficiency and performance of these cooling units. Swamp coolers will cool the inside of the home but they have limited cooling capacity compared to refrigerated air systems. With each improvement, swamp coolers became more reliable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
As Affordable Service HVAC continued to serve the Rio Rancho community, they adapted to the changing landscape of cooling solutions. While swamp coolers remained a popular choice, especially in our drier climate, Affordable Service recognized the growing demand for air conditioning systems.
