In the dry, arid climate of Spokane and Northern Idaho, swamp coolers — also known as evaporative coolers — offer an efficient and affordable way to keep your home cool without breaking the bank. Unlike traditional air conditioning systems, swamp coolers use moisture to naturally cool the air, making them a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners and budget-minded families alike.
At Mainstream, we specialize in swamp cooler installation, repair, and maintenance. Our technicians are not only licensed and highly trained, but they’re also your neighbors — dedicated to treating your home with the same care and respect they’d show their own. Whether your current unit is underperforming or you’re interested in upgrading to a more efficient cooling solution, we’re here to help with honest recommendations and five-star service every step of the way.
Why Choose a Swamp Cooler?
Swamp coolers are ideal for homes in the Inland Northwest because they thrive in hot, dry conditions — just like our local climate. These systems:
-
Use up to 75% less energy than traditional central air conditioning
-
Circulate fresh, filtered air rather than recirculating the same indoor air
-
Add a bit of moisture to your home’s atmosphere, which can help prevent dryness and irritation during the summer
If you’re looking for a cost-effective and eco-friendly cooling system, swamp coolers are a solid solution — and Mainstream is the team you can trust to install, maintain, and repair them with precision and care.
Common Swamp Cooler Issues We Fix
When your swamp cooler isn’t working as it should, it can be frustrating — especially during the peak of summer. Our experts can quickly diagnose and resolve common issues like:
-
Insufficient airflow or poor cooling performance
-
Water leaks or dry pads
-
Electrical or thermostat malfunctions
-
Excess humidity or mold odors

Unusual noises or fan issues
We don’t just provide quick fixes — we get to the root of the problem to make sure your system runs efficiently and reliably all season long. If you suspect your cooler is underperforming, schedule a cooling system tune-up with Mainstream today.

Stay Ahead with Preventive Maintenance
Just like any other home system, swamp coolers need routine maintenance to run their best.

We’ll also make sure your unit is properly winterized to avoid damage when the temperatures drop.
