WHY WEST VALLEY HOMEOWNERS CONVERT
The Swamp Cooler Problem
Loses effectiveness when outdoor humidity exceeds 20–25% — exactly during monsoon season
Adds moisture to the air, making humid monsoon days feel worse
Requires open windows to work — dust, pollen, and allergens enter freely
Needs water line maintenance, pad replacement, and seasonal startup/shutdown
Can't cool below outdoor temperature — struggles on 115°F days
Doesn't work for heating — separate heating system required
The Refrigerated AC Solution
Works at any outdoor humidity level — including 60% monsoon humidity
Dehumidifies the air — makes 85°F feel more comfortable than 90°F with a swamp cooler
Windows stay closed — no dust, pollen, or allergens
Minimal maintenance — annual tune-up and filter changes
Can cool to any temperature regardless of outdoor heat
Heat pump option provides both heating and cooling in one system
