Did you know that evaporative air conditioning systems use less electricity and are less expensive to install and maintain than refrigerated air conditioning? In hot, dry climates evaporative cooling is a cost effective and energy efficient way to cool your business.

An evaporative cooler is essentially a large fan with water-moistened evaporative pads in the air stream. The fan draws warm outside air through the pads and blows the now-cooled air throughout the building.

Evaporative cooling is an open system and takes air from outside the building. For evaporative cooling to work properly, the cooled air must flow freely throughout the area to be cooled. By choosing which doors or windows in your business to leave open, you can direct the flow of cooled air to areas where cooling is needed.

Available only to residential customers in El Paso Electric’s New Mexico service area.
