It wouldn't matter to me which was more efficient. A swamp cooler is a
pretend AC unit. It evaporates water, therefore humidifying the room.
Also a real AC unit can run in reverse and serve as a heat pump for
winter.

In places where a swamp cooler works, a little more humidity isn't a bad
thing.

Why does anyone want humidity? If it's hot, humid air makes it feel
hotter, as your sweat can't evaporate so easily. In cold weather, the
damp cools you down more. So it's never wanted.


Maybe it's not wanted on that swampy island where you live. It's a
different story in arid climates. Do you know what virga is? That's rain
that evaporates before it reaches the ground.

What does it feel like to be in a house that's "too dry"?
