I have a swamp cooler… except it is not a swamp cooler.
I have a swamp cooler… except it is not a swamp cooler.     East Wenatchee Home Inspections


This is a Swamp Cooler


Well the cooling season is now upon us on the Eastern Flanks of the Cascade mountains. With that I have to get back into my Air Conditioner/Heat Pump testing mode.
 
So on this recent home inspection I get inside the home and go to the thermostat and switch into cooling mode so I can run the AC for a while as I perform other aspects of the home inspection.



HVAC Components


After a good 1-½ or more of testing the AC I go check some registers to see what temperatures I am getting to prepare to take a cooling split reading. This is a temperature difference between the return air and the closest register to the air handler.
 
Then I go open the Air Handler to see what is going on in there and this is when I find that the air handler is actually a swamp cooler. The AC evaporator coil condensate drip pan has water running over it. This is most likely a blocked condensate line but the pan is also rusted which is not helping.
