Evaporative Cooling Melbourne
Fresh-air, roof-mounted evaporative cooling for whole-home summer comfort — supplied, installed and serviced by Cold Bear.
An evaporative cooler draws hot outside air through water-soaked pads on the roof and pushes cooled, fresh air through ducts to each room. It suits Melbourne’s dry summer heat and costs little to run compared with refrigerated cooling.
We install and service Breezair and Braemar evaporative systems, and service most other brands.

Evaporative cooling questions
Evaporative or refrigerated cooling?
Evaporative is cheaper to run and brings in fresh air, but works best in dry heat and doesn’t heat. Refrigerated (split or ducted reverse-cycle) cools on humid days too and also heats. We’ll compare both for your home.
How often should an evaporative cooler be serviced?
At least once a year, ideally before summer — pads, water distribution, pump, tank and drain valve.
Can I have evaporative cooling with gas ducted heating?
Many Melbourne homes combine the two. Depending on your layout they may share or use separate ducts — we assess this on site.
Do you repair evaporative coolers?
Yes — we diagnose and repair common faults such as pump, motor and water-supply problems.
