Evaporative air conditioners, like this Bonaire model, cool the home using the fresh air system. Warm air is drawn from outside through a water moistened filter that cools and cleans the air then circulates it, forcing stale air out through open doors and windows. The cooling process is completely natural, making it ideal for sufferers of hayfever and asthma. Whole-of-home ducted evaporative air conditioners have low running and installation costs, reasonable purchase price, little noise and low greenhouse gas emissions.
