Re: Evaporative Cooling - Melbourne 10Jan 07, 2011 7:28 pm They all use air and water to cool and in principle will all work provided they are sized correctly. Bearing in mind they are evaporative "coolers" not air "conditioners" so precise temperature control cannot necessarily be achieved. Value for money whole of home cooling! Most have similar options - they just go about it a different way or may have it as an extra whilst some will come with all the bells and whistles Do pay attention to the various warranties on structural / parts and labour. Usually a good indication of quality. Get out to a showroom/s and have a look at the units. Most dealers will deal with perhaps 2 brands usually one of a higher quality (and cost) and a more budget conscious brand. In saying that even each brand has various levels of features Good luck and any questions, feel free to ask You get what you pay for! Re: Evaporative Cooling - Melbourne 11Jan 13, 2011 4:34 pm Today I have revised all my quotes and went to a showroom today. The gentleman advise the Brivis Contour L53 x 7 outlets would be the best model for our home. It's very quiet fan, it has a better winterseal compare the others and also a good pump system. The price i was quoted was $4150.00. Please advise you comments. Re: Evaporative Cooling - Melbourne 12Jan 14, 2011 10:20 am Turri, Seems to be an adequate system based on your other quotes. That model is the top end of the Brivis range. Now you know what model and number of outlets you want - shop it! Given our lack of summer (in Melbourne) I know there are dealers out there willing to buy business as they rely on summer to generate most of their income. Seems a good price but no harm in getting a few "apples for apples" quotes Good luck You get what you pay for! Re: Evaporative Cooling - Melbourne 13Jan 14, 2011 1:09 pm had a brivis contour for over 5 years - it was quiet and very reliable - never broke down once. If I had to put an evap cooler in my new place it would be the brivis contour. DC Re: Evaporative Cooling - Melbourne 14Jan 17, 2011 9:53 am Hello. New to this forum but would love some advice too on evap in Melbourne.

Re: Evaporative Cooling - Melbourne 15Jan 17, 2011 5:00 pm cassigirl, It is Turri who has been getting the quotes - perhaps ask them which companies they had quote. You get what you pay for!
