Add-OnCoolers
Coolers come in a,,vide arrayof sizes,horsepower, and
capacities suitable for patio, garage, guestroom, mid so

cooling effectivenessof theentire system. Owners of
refrigerated air conditioning have found that the addition
of an evaporativecooler rosily reduces theirelectric bills.

house insulation will prevent heat from seeping in and will
improve cooling comfort.

reducing the amount of cooled air blown into your home.
Two-speed motors allowyou to use higher speeds during
the honest part of the day, lower speeds for milder
temperatures.

should be installed as instructed in this manual.
Attic V ents
