Evap Ducting Disaster? Don’t Blow Your Money Away!

Most homeowners assume ducted evaporative cooling is a “set and forget” system. That’s true—only if it’s professionally maintained and serviced annually for performance and safety.

Industry research shows that 60% of evaporative air conditioners aren’t operating properly. This inefficiency will blow out energy bills and, most importantly, reduce cooling efficiency. Worse, neglected systems often fail and break down on the hottest days when you need them the most.

The image above shows ducting found by our technician during an evaporative cooler service when the owner questioned the unit’s cooling capacity. Ducting has a 10-15 year lifespan, but tape failures can occur at any time. Intense summer heat makes ducting brittle, leading to splits, damage, and holes.

Is Your Evap System Wasting Cool Air?

Common Warning Signs – Blowing Cool Air into Your Ceiling Space is Dollars Into Thin Air:

• Air capacity to the whole home is low or abnormal
• No air in a particular room or area
• Bad smells, odours, or a dusty feeling in rooms
• Ceiling or roof whooshing noises

Is Your Evap Duct Performing to Its Expected Standards?

If your evaporative cooling isn’t delivering fresh, cool air, something’s wrong. Ducts deteriorate over time, and ceiling spaces can reach over 50°C in summer, speeding up wear and tear.
