Cost-Effective Cooling for Dry Summer Heat
Evaporative cooling installation and service for homes throughout Grand Junction, Colorado.
You want to cool your Grand Junction home during summer without the high energy costs that come with running central air conditioning through July and August. Evaporative coolers, also called swamp coolers, work well in Western Colorado's dry climate by pulling outside air through water-saturated pads, which cools the air before it enters your home through ductwork or direct vents.
Monarch Heating and Air Conditioning installs and services evaporative cooling systems across Grand Junction, helping homeowners maintain comfortable indoor temperatures with lower energy use compared to refrigerated air. Installation includes mounting the cooler unit on the roof or exterior wall, connecting water supply lines, and routing cooled air into the home. Evaporative systems are effective when outdoor humidity is low, which is typical during Grand Valley summers, but they are less effective during monsoon moisture increases.
If you are considering evaporative cooling for your Grand Junction home or need service on an existing swamp cooler, reach out to Monarch Heating and Air Conditioning to discuss installation and maintenance options.
Cooling that works with Western Colorado's dry air
Your evaporative cooler installation in Grand Junction involves positioning the unit where it can draw fresh air, connecting it to your home's water supply, and ensuring drainage for bleed-off water that prevents mineral buildup inside the system. Monarch Heating and Air Conditioning installs cooler pads, adjusts water distribution, and tests the blower motor to verify air is moving through your home at the proper volume. Coolers can be ducted into existing ductwork or blow directly into living spaces through ceiling or wall vents.
Once the system is running, you will notice cooler air entering your home within minutes, and indoor temperatures dropping as the blower circulates air through open windows or vents. Evaporative cooling works best when you allow some airflow to exit the home, which prevents humidity buildup and keeps the cooling effect steady throughout the day.
Maintenance includes replacing cooler pads before each cooling season, cleaning the water reservoir, and checking the pump and float valve to prevent dry running or overflow. Service does not include ductwork installation unless discussed separately. Evaporative coolers use significantly less electricity than air conditioners but require a steady water supply and perform poorly when outdoor humidity rises above normal Grand Valley levels.
Clearing up how swamp coolers work before you commit
Homeowners in Grand Junction often have practical questions about how evaporative coolers perform, when they should be used, and what kind of upkeep they require to work reliably through summer.
Monarch Heating and Air Conditioning provides evaporative cooling installation and service throughout the Grand Valley, with guidance available for homeowners comparing cooling options. If you want a cost-effective way to cool your home during dry summer months, contact us to discuss evaporative systems and schedule an installation or service visit.

Monarch over the past 2 years we have been with have always responded readily to our service needs. From the individual Sherry that answers the phone and schedules the calls to the technicians has always been a positive experience. We just had a significant issue with one of our AC units. The technician, Nathan Libby, was one of if not the most professional conscientious techs we have encountered. He kept us constantly updated, was so thorough, and had a great personality to go with it all. Extremely satisfied with the job he performed!!! , thank you

Ron W.
The service call on May 23 was very much appreciated. The service technician was on time and very polite and very knowledgeable about what we had scheduled him for and explained what he had accomplished while he was here. I would recommend Monarch HVAC to anyone looking for service on AC & furnace equipment.
Mike B.
I have used Monarch for close to 10 years for all of my HVAC needs. I have come to know their staff and they are exceptional people with integrity, honesty and great work ethic. When they are done with a job, you can count on it being correct and them standing behind their work if something ends up not working the way it should. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
Russell F.
We had a swamp cooler and needed to get an AC system that would work for our house and be energy efficient. We shopped pricing and service from several HVAC contractors. Natalie from Monarch came a did an in depth review of our house and provided pricing and pros and cons for several different systems. She took the time to answer all of our questions and provide a detailed estimate. Once we choose a system, Jon managed the installation and kept us informed of the progress and made sure we were happy with the installation. The project was done on budget and two weeks ahead of the schedule Monarch gave us. It was a pleasure working with Monarch and I would highly recommend them!
Amy B.
