I'm gonna put on my faraday suit on for this... I'll go against the grain of most of you here fellas. lol
I love our evap unit. If you're proactive with it and get the flow right, it's awesome. If we anticipate a humid day. You run it early. If you let the house warm up and then try and fight the heat, you've lost the battle already. Can run it all day and night using minimal juice and wake up without dry throat, nose and cough unlike most reverse and fridge units...

Wimps! We only use a fan. But to be fair, we are close enough to the coast to get the afternoon sea breeze.
I think there are pro's and cons with both to be honest. The 'dongas' on site are fitted with refrigerant systems. They are necessary 24/7 to be honest, be it of hellish heat or sub zero winters, however the drawback is absolutely minimal fresh air integration and dehydration of that recirc air, ie, dry throat. I run a couple of cups of water in cups to try and balance the RH, however the smell from stale air drives me spare after a few days - but to exchange that air, I have to lose the tempered environment - catch 22. We dont have evap on site as the water is too hard and blocks everything up, plus RH swings from 5 - 95%, sometimes in a couple of days, so these dont work too well.
I think evap were the flavour in the 1970's when the melb weather was a lot hotter and drier, however its moderated to almost a northern NSW climate at times, much high RH. I will be installing a ducted refrigerant split system in the new house, hands down, and just persist with the cups of water in the bedroom for sleeping. Refrig a/c costs have come way down and their fitment is pretty simple as well.
I'm with you Hodge.
I bit of planning and they work well. Its not uncommon for us to have it running for days on end. Turn it down at bedtime and crack it up in the morning.
Don't think they're making to last tho. My folks had one installed over 40 years ago and have only replaced the pads. Does require someone to go up empty, clean and refill the tank once a year, but still works very well.
The previous owner here installed a large evaporative system and a large split system. Obviously we're using the split now, it's nice and cold in the living area, but that's it.

Never thought I'd say this. But decades long reigning champ of the most incompetent circus of a company, Telstra, has been de-throned by none other, then their own circus act partner NBN. Coming from a customer point of view, and as a someone who works with their maintenance blokes (whom i deeply feel sorry for).
I'm unsure whos worse. Their fresh off the boat, trained at a local milk bar installers or the back office toadstools pretending they know how to organise stuff.
Has got to be the most dysfunctional company in a long sad history of bad companies. Other than privatisation horror show in the 90s, NBN has got to be Australias worst corporate disaster, by far and large.
True story. The day I had NBN connected I was using the internet when the NBN delivery driver turned up. He goes and does his thing then when he said he was done I checked and had no connection. That's a problem at your end he says, I just connected you. I said WHEN YOU GOT HERE I HAD INTERNET AND NOW I DONT. YOU DONT LEAVE THIS PLACE TIL I'VE GOT INTERNET AGAIN. He fluffed around for maybe another hour and eventually got me back online but he was real flustered because he was now behind his daily quota for "connections". Goddam muppets.
I am disappointed and angry. La nina is a spanish word meaning “ the girl “ . We cannot have this kind of gender association. It must now be called La Non Binary Questioning weather pattern.
Also the referral to the Indian Ocean is very offending. Please refer to it as the “south east asian subcontinental ocean” in future. 😂😂😂
Haha, yep when we had to be connected in our current residence the NBN guys had to dig a trench and no less than 300mm deep for around sixty meters. It took two of them all day using to what it looked to be a toy sized jack hammer. As our soil here is hardened clay which aint fun. I asked them why they did not use a trench digger, their response was the cost of the hire is not worth it.
The following weekend I was cleaning up there mess in the driveway and something told me to check the depth of this trench. Well. I got as far as the second knuckle (sound like my first experience lol) and I hit the conduit. So after a few photos and a message to NBNco's FB page the same guys were back out the following week to dig it all up and re dig the trench at the required depth. Took them another two days to do it.
Once they had done and I was to inspect it and make sure it was all done and right, my final words were I bet you wish you hired a trench digger. I did not receive the warming response I was hoping for. Lol.
