How Evaporative Cooling Works
Evaporative air conditioning works on a simple natural principle: the cooling power of water evaporation. Warm outside air is drawn through cooling pads kept constantly moist, and the cooled, fresh, filtered air is then circulated through your home via a ducted system.
- Warm outside air is drawn in
- It passes through cooling pads kept wet
- Cool, fresh air flows through your home
Why Go Evaporative?
Up to 75%
lower energy bills than standard split systems
-
Highly Energy Efficient
Uses far less electricity than traditional refrigerated air conditioning.
-
Improved Air Quality
A continuous flow of fresh outside air, filtered through water-saturated pads.
-
Eco-Friendly
No harmful refrigerants or chemicals that can damage the ozone layer.
-
Environmental Benefits
Less electricity means lower greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Easy Maintenance
Regular servicing keeps it efficient and prevents bigger problems later.
-
Increased Air Moisture
A little extra moisture in the air, which can help dry eyes and breathing in dry weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an evaporative cooling service in Adelaide cost?
A standard service is a fixed price we quote upfront; if pads or parts need replacing, we tell you the cost clearly before doing any extra work.
How often should an evaporative cooler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in spring before summer. A yearly service keeps the cooler efficient and hygienic, and catches worn pads or parts before the hot weather arrives.
Do you service Brivis and other brands?
Yes. We service all major evaporative cooling brands, including Brivis, replacing pads and parts to suit your specific make and model, not a generic kit.
Can you get my cooler ready before summer?
Yes, that is the best time to book. A spring service means worn pads, pumps and belts are sorted before the first heatwave, so your cooler is ready to go.
Why does my evaporative cooler smell musty?
That smell usually comes from stagnant water, mould or a dirty tank and pads. A full service drains, cleans and sanitises the system to clear the odour for good.
Is your evaporative cooling service guaranteed?
Yes. Simms Plumbing & Air Conditioning backs every service with a lifetime labour warranty, so if our workmanship falls short, we come back and put it right.
