Evaporative Cooling
Apartment complexes and rental management groups are no longer limited to one evaporative cooling rebate per program year. However, pre-approval is still required for applications of more than 10 units. Customers are still limited to one rebate per individually metered NM residential account per program year.
Improve Comfort. Save Energy.
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 home.
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 house.
Evaporative cooling is an open system and takes air from outside the house. 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 home to leave open, you can direct the flow of cooled air to areas where cooling is needed.
