Braemar is one of Australia's most established cooling brands, made by Seeley International and designed, made and owned here since 1938. Its evaporative range covers both homes and businesses: the residential Evolution, SuperStealth and Paradigm coolers, and a full commercial line-up from small shops right up to the RPXL for factories and large warehouses. At BM Heating & Cooling we supply, install and replace the Braemar evaporative range across Melbourne, size the cooler to your home or building, set up the ducting and controls, and hand it over tested by our licensed installers.

Braemar Evaporative Cooling, Australian Made by Seeley


Braemar has been making coolers for Australian conditions since 1938 and is part of Seeley International, an Australian owned manufacturer, so you get an evaporative cooler engineered for our summers with a national parts and service network behind it.

Evaporative cooling is one of the most natural and cost-effective ways to cool a building. A Braemar cooler sits on the roof, draws warm outside air through wet cooling pads, and a fan pushes the cooled, fresh, filtered air through ducts to vents in every room. Because it constantly brings in fresh air from outside, you leave some windows or doors open so the air can flow through and out, which keeps the space feeling fresh rather than stuffy.

  • Australian made: designed, made and owned by Seeley International since 1938.
  • Residential and commercial: Evolution, SuperStealth and Paradigm for homes, plus the full RP commercial range.
  • Fresh, filtered air: cools with fresh outside air, not recirculated air.

How Braemar Evaporative Cooling Works


Braemar evaporative cooling uses water and a fan rather than a refrigerant compressor, which is what makes it fresh, natural and low-cost to run. Here is what happens.

  • Rooftop cooler: the Braemar cooler sits on the roof where it can draw in plenty of fresh outside air.
  • Cooling pads: warm air is drawn through moist cooling pads, which cool the air as it passes through.
  • SuperStealth fan: Braemar's SuperStealth axial fan pushes the cooled air down into the building quietly and with strong airflow.
  • InvertaCool motor: the inverter motor on the Evolution and SuperStealth models adjusts fan speed to match the conditions for quieter, more efficient running.
  • AutoWinterseal: automatically closes off the ducts when the cooler is off, to stop winter draughts coming back down through the vents.
  • Windows open: you open some windows or doors so the fresh air can flow through and out, cooling the rooms you are using.

The Braemar Residential Evaporative Range


Braemar makes three residential evaporative coolers, each stepping up in fan technology and water management. Here is how they compare.

Braemar Commercial Evaporative Cooling


Braemar also makes a full commercial evaporative range for shops, warehouses, factories, schools and other large spaces. Evaporative cooling suits big open buildings because it cools with fresh outside air at a low running cost, even with doors open. The commercial range scales from small units up to very high-airflow models.

Why Choose Braemar Evaporative Cooling


Australian Made Since 1938

Designed, made and owned in Australia by Seeley International, so you get an evaporative cooler built for Australian summers with national parts and service behind it.

SuperStealth Quiet Fan

Braemar's patented SuperStealth fan moves large volumes of air quietly, so you get strong cooling without the noise.

InvertaCool Efficiency

The InvertaCool inverter motor adjusts fan speed to match conditions, for quieter, more efficient running on the Evolution and SuperStealth.

Fresh, Filtered Air

Cools with fresh outside air rather than recirculating the same air, so the home or workplace feels fresh, not stuffy.

Homes & Business

A residential range for homes and a full commercial range up to 17,300 litres per second for factories and large warehouses.

Low Running Cost

Uses just water and a fan instead of a refrigerant compressor, so it generally costs less to run than refrigerated cooling.

Evaporative Cooling and Fresh Air


Evaporative cooling cools with fresh outside air, works best on the warm, dry summer days Melbourne regularly gets, and generally costs less to run than refrigerated air conditioning because it uses water and a fan. It also suits large open spaces and buildings where doors are often open, which is why the Braemar commercial range is popular for warehouses, factories and workshops. Refrigerated cooling recirculates air and holds a set temperature in any weather, so it suits different spaces. We assess your home or building, climate and how you use each space, and give you honest advice on whether a Braemar evaporative cooler or refrigerated cooling is the better fit.

Backed by Braemar Warranty

Braemar evaporative coolers are backed by a Braemar manufacturer warranty, and our own workmanship guarantee covers the installation. We confirm the exact warranty for the model you choose as part of your quote, and we service Braemar systems to keep that cover valid.

Registering your product and keeping to the recommended annual service, ideally before summer, keeps the cooler running efficiently and protects your warranty.

Our Braemar Installation & Replacement Process


1. Free onsite assessment: we visit your home or site, check the roof, layout and existing ducting, and work out the right Braemar cooler, size and outlet positions.

2. Model recommendation & quote: we recommend a Braemar residential or commercial model to suit the space and airflow you need, plan the ducts and controls, and give you a clear, itemised quote.

3. Licensed installation: our installers fit the Braemar cooler on the roof, run the ducts and outlets, connect the water and power safely and set up the controls, often in a day for a straightforward residential replacement.

4. Testing & handover: we commission the system, check the airflow and water system, and show you how to run the cooler before we leave.

Braemar Evaporative Cooling FAQs


Braemar is made by Seeley International, an Australian owned manufacturer that has been designing coolers here since 1938. Braemar makes both a residential evaporative range, the Evolution, SuperStealth and Paradigm, and a full commercial range, so there is a Braemar evaporative cooler to suit most Melbourne homes and businesses.

A Braemar evaporative cooler sits on the roof and draws warm outside air through wet cooling pads. As the air passes through the moist pads it is cooled, then a fan pushes the cool, fresh, filtered air through ducts to vents in each room. Because it constantly brings in fresh air, you leave some windows or doors open so the air can flow through and out.

They are the three models in the Braemar residential evaporative range. The Evolution uses an InvertaCool inverter motor and a SuperStealth axial fan and cools up to 13.2kW with airflow up to 2,850 litres per second. The SuperStealth uses a patented ultra-quiet SuperStealth fan with a high-performance inverter axial and adds WaterManager water-quality monitoring, cooling up to 14.3kW with airflow up to 3,070 litres per second. The Paradigm is built from premium materials with a premium water management system, cooling up to 14.1kW with airflow up to 2,810 litres per second.

AutoWinterseal is a Braemar feature that automatically closes off the air conditioner ducts when the cooler is not in use. This helps stop draughts coming down through the ducts in winter, keeping the home more comfortable and reducing heat loss.

Yes. Braemar has a full commercial evaporative range, from the EA and RPSI series for shops and light industrial spaces, up through the RPS, RPM and RPL series, to the RPXL series for factories and large warehouses, which delivers supply air up to 17,300 litres per second. Single and three-phase models are available.

Evaporative cooling works with water and a fan rather than a refrigerant compressor, so it generally uses less electricity to run than refrigerated air conditioning. It also brings in fresh outside air rather than recirculating the same air. We can talk through running costs for your home or business at your quote.

Yes. Evaporative cooling constantly pushes fresh cooled air into the building, so you leave some windows or doors open to let the air flow through and out. Opening different windows lets you direct the cool air to the rooms you are using.

Evaporative cooling works best on the warm, dry summer days that Melbourne regularly gets, delivering fresh cool air at a low running cost. We assess your home or business, climate and how you use each space to recommend whether evaporative cooling or refrigerated cooling is the better fit.

A Braemar evaporative cooler should be serviced about once a year, ideally before summer, so the cooling pads, water system and pump are checked and cleaned. Regular servicing keeps it cooling efficiently and helps it last longer.
