- How to keep your garage cooler in the summer while you're working on your classic car restoration project with this Hessaire 3100 evaporative cooler, the best garage tool you need this summer!!!!
Here in Phoenix, Arizona USA the summer heat can get up to 120 degrees F in the SHADE, and well over 150 degrees F in direct sunlight. Trying to restore a classic 1967 Pontiac Firebird F-Body or a 1967 Porsche 912 coupe can be deadly if you don't have a way to stay cool!
With this new Hessaire 3100 evaporative cooler will drop the heat of my 500 sq feet garage from 110 to about 85 or lower in a few hours. The best $400.00 USD I have spent in the garage in a long time!!!

Never heard of a swamp cooler until I moved to Nevada in 2000. Best investment I ever made. 👍🏼
This might be obvious, but just for anyone considering buying this, keep in mind it will not work well (if at all) when humidity is too high, and will even increase humidity wherever you put it. That means it's a great product for dry places like Arizona, but if you live in a humid area it will likely be ineffective.
i live in Jamaica where its 60%...is that too high for me to get one for my apartment?
Yes, well said.
I use an artic breeze (aussie) 1500 which tops out at 2800 cfm but I use the lower speeds. I place it on a garage shelf butted up to the exterior wall and curt a hole in the side of my garage for a direct sealed intake air from outside and vent it out a garage door plexiglass window (made a slider) and for higher speeds crack the garage door open a bit to vent out the hot air and keep humidity down. Even though not in the desert (san francisco east bay) humidity can get very low and it works well if you use it correctly. Makes my 2 car garage comfortable even on 110 degree days so I can work on my rolling restoration 1985 mercedes 300sd. GOOD VIDEO
Thanks for the video we just bought one of these bad boys, with side door open about halfway and garage door up about 10 in easily brings down the temp 20° Another idea is to insulate the garage door, just a cheap kit at Home Depot, with west facing garage door lowered the temp another 10°-15, we also get snow every once in awhile and it keeps it pretty toasty in here
Just tried the garage door insulation, but I think I need the thicker panels to make a difference.
I live in goodyear with a west facing garage, im getting this tomorrow. I have a fully insulated garage with our build including all the garage doors. I would suggest you get the kit to insulate them it will make a hell of a difference
Augghhhh west facing door!!! Yes that is on my list to do as well, thank you for the idea. Let me know how the new cooler works out for you!!! Got any sweet rides in there????
Avondale AZ here. This guy sold me on it. Home Depot, here I come.
I bought this 3 months ago. The pump is out. I didn’t remove the old pump or hardwire the new one. I just dropped in a $14 HF 1600 LPM pump cut a little notch in the case for the wire to come over the back and now there’s two plugs on the unit. One for the fan and one for the ultra quick change pump. It’s literally just sitting in there. I know this well water will eat it up. So no sense in hard wiring. I’m in west Texas in a commercial 1200 sf storage/shop space. 14” ceiling. When it’s 100-105 outside it keeps it 85-87 in that big shop with the overhead door cracked 4”. 😅
Thats a great idea of swapping out the pump, thanks for sharing!
@@ArrowheadGarage Thank you for showing me how to get into it. Once I saw inside yours I was like “we’re gonna be able to make this thing run forever.” Thinking about buying a spare motor and a third standby pump just to have. Cause you know it’s gonna fail when it’s 110 outside and you’re in a position where you can’t just quit. So Ima be ready! 😅
Excellent video! Spot on. No BS. I live in Avondale AZ and I was thinking about getting for awhile .You sold me on this one. Thank you Sir.
I'm in Las Vegas, I have the same model. This thing brings the temp down but makes the garage humid af. I think my issue is that I don't have a door leading to the outside other than the garage door. I do have 2 vents ( 2x 10" x 20") at the floor level because the gas water heater is in the garage, but I don't think it's enough to let air out.
Just got one of these last month. I use it in the back of the tandem garage Which is used as a game room. It brings the temp down usually 8-10° or more. Works best if I open the side door along with cracking the bottom of the garage door to get the air moving and cut down on the humidity.
Right on, it's not as great as A/C but it keeps the air moving at least. Thanks for the comment!
Insulate the garage door
Man I'm thinking, go inside have a couple of cold snacks. Go back out there after dark. That would be my plan hahaha God bless
Dude, its Phoenix, its still that hot in the middle of the night.
You're lucky that you aren't in the Deep South with 100% humidity. Hell when I was in Irag 2005, temp was 131 degrees and my nose hairs felt like they were burning off.
Oh man I hear you, glad you back home and thank you for your service :)
I got the smaller one Mc18v model I live in the high desert Temps are 107-110 and this cools maybe 1/2 of my 950 Sq ft apt I think I need another one to cool the whole apt, box saids it cools 500 Sq ft I only turn on during the day I'm hoping to save on electric bill this summer.
This couldnt be more appropriately timed. This whole week has been 117+ in Phoenix. I'm working on my truck outside. Actually I'm not working on my truck at all because of the heat. How would these handle being outside pointing at you, under an EZ UP? I'm doing a lot of welding, I'm concerned about the flash rusting on the bare metal.
Right here with you Ed in Phoenix!!! Yes I have used it a few times to cool me off in the back yard while welding up a shade cover in the garden!!! Turn it on high and go.
swamp coolers like the one shown work perfectly outside and in fact are the only way to cool down an outside area.
insulate your garage door with foamular board. That will also reduce the heat!
Damn Im up in flagstaff and im crying about the heat 🤣 granted its still 102 here today
Another 110 day in Phoenix... thank goodness I. have a pool and cold beer lol thanks for watching.
humidity used to be low here last year in Wichita, but not this year got the same cooler but the humidity to high this year to use it last august 104 for days.
Can anyone tell me, can we just leave the hose connected and running full time?
Yes you can! I don’t like the hose hooked up, so I just refill it ever few hours
Make sure the water resivour Float Valve is set correct. There is operation manual that shows how to set-up and adjust so it doesn't overflow and flood the area the cooler is in
I don’t have a side door in my garage would it still work if the garage door is closed
Gotta keep the garage door open about 12 inches or so. Closing the door all the way won’t allow for air flow.
Hey brother, I just got one 4 days ago. I'm a Bladesmith and work in my garage too. Whig your door closed does the humidity kick up real bad? (I live in Vegas just North of you) it was 115° and my garage door open about 22" the temp. was looking around 89°-94° in different places but it wet are you seeing the same?
Same here man, not sure when the humidity kicks up I just have to shut things down for the day :(
Insulation on your garage door will make a big difference to
That is a great tip, thanks for sharing!
Any moisture problems in your shop? I noticed you had the garage doors still opened a bit' for ventilation.
No moisture issues here in Phoenix Arizona. I tried opening a side door, leaving it closed, and a few other ventilation ideas. Having the side door opened just seems to pull the cooler air thru the garage the best. Thanks for asking, let me know if you have any other questions.
Is not hot to be honest is actually a good temp
Beautiful Car
Thank you, she is my little project! ha
I have a question, are they dangerous? I had someone tell me they can easily catch on fire🤷♀️🤷♀️ if you know please let me know thanks
Not really, unless you were to push it over and some how touch the power cord while standing in the water.. maybe! TOTALLY SAFE!
Not so, completely safe. I worked in the industrial industry for 30 years they have hundreds of them things in the plants, they are awesome. Whoever told you that don't know what the hell they're talking about you should get you one.
Mini splits are so cheap now, combined with the fact they come charged, I don't see a reason for these other than job sites any longer
I might have to go that route next summer, thanks for watching!
Whats that do to your electric bill?
@@sikryd If you add either a evaporative cooler or a mini-split, your bill will increase. The difference between the two will be small. Mini-splits are usually wired in single phase 240, while coolers are single phase 120. This keeps actual wattage down and keeps the measured power between the two very close. My 21 seer 1 ton split unit runs 4 amps and increased my bill 40 dollars per month in the summers. This runs 24hrs per day and maintains the garage temperature as opposed to just switching on a wet cooler when you walk out into a 130 degree garage. I live in the desert, I know humidity and temps play a role in which would be best for you. This is better for me
@@electropentatonic run my swap cooler on two 100 watts souler planal well i going to do so
@@stevencorrea8032 You will find that difficult. Motor inrush current is not solar friendly. You're better off just offsetting normal utility costs with the same solar. This is it's intended purpose, not circuit replacement if any kind
‘It comes in a box’ -really, that’s so awesome. Can you keep the box? Can I hide in it with my cats? I’ll buy this just for the free box.
Insulate the garage door
That was my next project and it does make a difference! Thanks for watching.
I live in Sun City Arizona. And this thing is useless for the garage,. It's only good for already cooled down areas. What's the point in buying something to cool if it only works when it's in an already cool place? Just blows hot air on ya'. My $25.00 fan did the same thing. This is nothing more than an expensive Humidifier. And no where to insert ice blocks if you wanted. Completely useless. Waste of money. Don't buy.
Why so negative? It does what it’s intended to do. If you want air conditioning performance then go buy an air conditioner.
