And in that part of hte world, if far enough out of the city, AND with
adequate access to water, evap coolers work REALLY well at lower cost than
14-19 seer AC


Most definitely they run at a lower cost than Refrigerated air. However
they do use a lot more water per year which in the desert, can be a real
scarcity. As well, I would not say they work "REALLY" well. They work
but ultimately I have found with mine, the temp will only come down around
15 degrees which makes for a pretty darned hot house at 105 degrees plus.
Humidity plays the biggest role in whether they work well so after a rain,
they don't work worth a darn.
