Default Re: Evaporative cooling vs reverse cycle. Thoughts?

I'm going through this dilema at the moment myself. So this is interesting reading. We had an evap in our old house (melbourne) and it worked a treat. we had a split in the main living area for those extra hopt days and used it twice in two years.

A 15 degree drop over oputside seems the norm. And whilst 25 inside is getting a bit sticky, by the evening when its 32 outside, inside the evap has brought it back to a cool 17 so a good nights sleep is possible.
