AC or Cooler. Which is better? Why?

First off all.. 

We will talk about the advantages of aircooler. 

Yes, air coolers are worth buying. Evaporative air coolers use a fan to draw in warm stale air, where it passes over water-moistened pads. This immediately cools the air. Then evaporative coolers release this cool moisturized air into space. ​It's similar to the feeling of feeling a chill when you get out of a pool even on a warm day.

1. Cost-Effective and Small Carbon Footprint
Compared to air conditioners that use compressors and refrigerants, swamp coolers use only water, a fan, and pump to saturate the cooling media and cool your space.
2. Humidifies Air
The evaporative cooling process naturally humidifies dry air - reducing dry air symptoms such as itchy eyes, throat, or skin in dry climates.
3. Doubles as a Commercial-Grade Fan
Don't add water and use your evaporative cooler as a heavy-duty fan indoors or outside.
4. Additional Benefits
Evaporative coolers are also easily portable to different locations and even help keep bugs away when used outdoors.
5. Uses no gases or substances that have a negative impact on the environment
6. Can operate without stabilizers
7. Simple mechanism. Maintenance is easy and can be done by anyone, Spare parts are easily and cheaply available
8. Doesn't have any special insulation requirements in the rooms
Depends on the local weather conditions. If you live in a region where humidity usually remains high, then air-conditioning is the only option. However, in dry weather conditions, air coolers are very effective.
Considering the electricity cost comparison between AC and air cooler, AC consumes almost 8 times more energy than and air cooler.

Now in the other side

Air coolers are known economical medium to beat the summers, but did you ever thought if it can be harmful to your health. When it’s too hot, it makes you uncomfortable but when it’s hot and humid it's dangerous. Humidity is water vapors present in the atmosphere. Air helps our body to cool down when we perspire by evaporating sweat on the body. But when it's humid, this moisture stays on your skin making us feel even hotter. This is known as heat index which is apparent temperature measuring of how hot it feels when factoring of relative humidity done with actual air temperature. It varies from 80 to 137 with temperature ranging from 80F to 110F and 40% to 100% humidity level. With an increase in the heat index, it becomes more dangerous.

First and foremost, the impact of humidity is discomfort, but results can be more hazardous if it’s hot. Some adverse effect on a human body are -

• Fatigue and dehydration when heat index varies from 80-91

• Muscle cramp when heat index varies from 91-106

• Fainting when heat index varies from 107-127

• Heat/Sunstroke when heat index varies from 127-137

Apart from this, it increases airborne infection and irritation in skin and eye.

To get out of this trouble, you need a properly ventilated room. Your air cooler should be placed near a window or door to get maximum ventilation. It reduces humidity and enhances cooling experience. 

So in my words for good health and good sleep AC is better. If you live in a humid atmosphere go for Air conditioner. If not go for Air cooler. Air coolers are fairy cheap than Air conditioner and consume less electricity. But if you are living in a humid atmosphere Air coolers will not serve the purpose. Perspiration will increase.
