BWAHAHAHA, sorry, but I've never met anyone who didn't know a swamp cooler is. It's basically a refrigerator hanging on the side of you house. It cools water in the tank and blows the air over the cooled water into the home. Definetly try to get yourself a central heating, and air system. World of difference, swamp coolers cause great amounts of humidity.

well dude the thing about el paso is it gets super hot but not humid so if u just have some cool wind then it feels fine and all a swamp cooler is when the air is cooled by water instead of a compresser its also alot cheaper. also make sure its locked up because their alot of thieves around
