Swamp Cooler Winterization in Denver
Protect Your Investment and Prepare for a Worry-Free Spring!
Prevent Frozen Pipes with Expert Sprinkler Winterization in Denver
As Denver temperatures are about to drop, it’s critical to properly winterize your home’s evaporative cooler (also known as a swamp cooler). At 5280 Property Inspections, we offer professional Swamp Cooler Winterization services designed to protect your system from costly winter damage and ensure it’s ready for smooth operation next spring.
What’s Included in Our Evaporative Cooler Winterization
Water Shut Off
We safely shut off the water supply to your evaporative cooler and disconnect the water line, ensuring there’s no trapped water that could freeze and cause cracks or leaks.
System Drain and Clean
We completely drain the water storage area and vacuum and clean the interior to prevent mold, mildew, and corrosion during the cold months.
Fan Belt Removal
To avoid accidental system operation during winter (which can be serious motor or belt damage), we carefully remove the fan belt and store it securely inside the unit for easy installation in spring.
Protective Wrapping
As a final step, we wrap your evaporative cooler in a heavy-duty winterization barrier (similar to plastic wrap) to shield it from snow, ice, and harsh weather.
Why Choose Professional Winterization?
Prevent Expensive Repairs: Frozen water lines, cracked housings, and motor damage can cost hundreds (or thousands) to repair.
Extend the Life of Your Cooler: Routine maintenance protects your system’s lifespan and performance.
Be Ready for Spring: Your cooler will be clean, dry, and ready to start up when the weather warms – no delays or costly surprises.
Peace of Mind: We’ll take the right steps to ensure your system is safely prepped for winter season.
Note: Our Winterization Service is a standalone offering – perfect for homeowners who recently purchased a property with an existing swamp cooler.
This service is not an add-on to a home inspection and should be scheduled separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Winterizing prevents trapped water from freezing, expanding, and causing damage to the coolers internal parts. It also protects your motor, fan belt, and water lines from costly repairs or early replacement.
Ideally, you should schedule before the first major freeze – typically in late September to early November in the Denver area. Early scheduling ensures your system is protected before cold weather hits.
While turning off the system helps, a full professional winterization includes draining, cleaning, disassembling key parts, and wrapping the unit for maximum protection. DIY shutdowns often miss steps that lead to hidden damage.
Yes! Our winterization process ensures that your swamp cooler will be clean, dry, and in great shape for a fast and easy spring startup.
Absolutely! Many clients bundle swamp cooler winterization with sprinkler blowouts, sewer scope inspections, chimney inspections, and radon testing for added savings and convenience. When you schedule 3 or more services you get a $75 discount!
