From your words "Jazakallah in advance for yur time and help", I assume that you are somewhere in Saudi or in some gulf country. Anyhow i have seen in Riyadh, people excessively use desert coolers (with ducts going to every room) just to increase humidity level in their apartments. These prove good in very dry conditions but I doubt in Pakistan they could be so cost effective. In all cases, AC will have to be used.

Allah knows the best.

I am in Lahore , and came from Riyadh. I did try this , but unfortunatly it did not work. The humidity in Lahore is very high , so hardly it works for a couple of months,It suffocates and you may not get any comfort from it from July onwards.. To me it is waste of money. If you are from a dry area like bahawalpur or south punjab it may work for few more weeks.

The name itself answers the question. Desert Cooler is only good in dry 'desert' climate.

My family moved to Islamabad from Riyadh around 8 years ago and we are using big cooler installed outside the window it works very well. Anybody entering our home in summer feels we have ACs working. Though we did not install any AC at all. Cooler once in blue moon does not work well, normally it is OK.
