Hey, anyone in CO use swamp coolers for house cooling? I hear mixed results, but do see them heavily offered at places like Lowes and Big R. Trying to see if they're worth it. I fully understand that AC is superior, but a whole house AC unit is financially out of my range right now, and the portable units we have fried an outlet last year from overuse.

They work pretty good in non humid environments.

will they take the edge off a 100 day?

I have seen them used in Tx, which isnt the best place for them. Yes it will even take the edge off here but the humidity is just to great here. Your plug didnt fry just because of the air conditioner though, something else was at play.

Yes, you're right. I had it daisy chained to a 10 gauge extension cord
