Air coolers are green. Let us compare evaporative air coolers with air conditioners to find out what makes them green.
Energy-efficient
Air coolers consume up to 10 times less energy than ACs. They consume less electricity and can also work in low voltage areas. Monthly electricity / power bills are significantly lower.
Low Maintenance
Air coolers require low maintenance; you rarely need to summon a mechanic for maintenance or troubleshooting as in the case of ACs.
Environment Friendly
Air coolers present significant environmental benefits with no harmful Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) emissions and very low power consumption.
Air coolers use fresh, clean air from the environment. They also allow you to keep windows open for better air circulation whereas ACs circulate stale air inside a sealed room.
