As Temperatures Rise, So Should Your Cooling Standards
In Pakistan, where scorching summers are the norm and power bills soar with the temperature, finding the right air cooler is more than a luxury; it's a necessity. Whether you live in a humid coastal city or the dry heartlands of Punjab, selecting the best air cooler for summer can dramatically impact your comfort and your wallet.
At Toyo Industries, we understand that every household has unique needs. That’s why we offer two main types of coolers tailored to Pakistani conditions: Full Plastic Air Coolers and Steel/Plastic Hybrid Air Coolers. But how do you know which one is best for you?
Let’s break it down.
Full-Plastic Air Coolers: Lightweight, Low Maintenance, and Rust-Free
If you’re looking for a durable, rust-resistant air cooler that’s perfect for humid climates like Karachi, a full plastic air cooler is a smart choice. These models are designed to withstand moisture without corroding and are typically easier to move and clean.
Advantages:
-
Rust-proof body: Ideal for areas with high humidity.
-
Lightweight: Easy to shift between rooms or floors.
-
Cost-effective: Typically more affordable than hybrids.
-
Simple upkeep: Quick to clean and maintain.
Best for:
Small to medium-sized rooms, apartments, coastal areas, and families seeking a lightweight, budget-friendly solution.
Steel/Plastic Hybrid Air Coolers: Built Tough for Long-Term Performance
Hybrid air coolers combine a steel outer body with plastic water tanks and components, delivering a stronger and more sturdy build, especially for outdoor or semi-permanent setups.
Advantages:
-
Heavy-duty durability: Great for rougher environments or industrial settings.
-
Larger fan capacity: Often supports larger cooling pads and bigger fan blades.
-
Extended cooling: Perfect for large halls or upper floors with high sun exposure.
Potential considerations:
-
Requires more maintenance to prevent rust (especially in humid regions).
-
Heavier than plastic models less mobile.
Best for:
Spacious living rooms, shops, large bedrooms, rooftops, or semi-commercial spaces in dry or mixed climates.
Choosing the Right Model: What to Consider
1. Room Size Matters
Before you invest in any cooler, think about the area you need to cool:
-
Small Room (100–150 sq ft): Go for a compact plastic air cooler (25–35L tank).
-
Medium Room (150–250 sq ft): Mid-sized plastic or hybrid model (35–50L).
-
Large Room (250+ sq ft): Hybrid air cooler with a high-powered fan and 50L+ water tank.
Pro Tip: A bigger cooler in a small room may cause excessive humidity. Always match size to space.
2. Water Tank Size & Consumption
Water is essential for evaporative cooling. While larger tanks mean longer cooling without refills, they also consume more water per hour.
Room Size |
Suggested Tank Size |
Avg Water Usage (per hour) |
Small Room |
25–30L |
0.5–1.0L |
Medium Room |
35–50L |
1.0–1.5L |
Large Room/Hall |
50L+ |
1.5–2.5L |
Choose based on local water availability and whether you prefer frequent refilling or long cooling hours.
3. Maintenance Frequency
Regardless of model, air coolers need regular upkeep to perform at their best:
-
Every 2 weeks: Clean cooling pads to prevent dust buildup.
-
Weekly: Flush the water tank to avoid odor or algae.
-
Monthly: Check motor and fan blades for wear or blockage.
Plastic models are easier to clean due to lighter material and simpler interiors. Hybrid models may require extra attention to prevent rusting on metallic parts.
