Ducted evaporative cooling

[Suzque49]

Last Oct I asked about connecting an evaporative cooler to the existing heater ducting in our home. You said to get opinions from HVAC contractors (very good advice)
We heard a lot of opinions from HVAC contractors, (from it can't be done, you won't be happy with it, to sure no problem) We got estimates from 3 contractors and chose one who has been in business for over 35 yrs.
They said our metal ducting was large enough, but we needed to put in 2 more runs. (for a total of 15). We also had them install a new larger cooler.
We have had temps of around 97 here the past couple of days, and it works great. It keeps the house at least 20 degrees cooler inside. All of the rooms are cool, not like before where the living room was cool and the farthest rooms hot.

Hi Susan,


That's great, thanks for update. Yep, those type questions need the answers from those in the area who would do the work.


What I may or may not do could be different for that area.


Glad it worked out for you as I felt it would with right contractor.


Take care and best wishes,
Robert
