Here we had an older house with a Brivis evaporative air conditioner which was pushing 20 years old. The motor had seized which in turn had taken out the control board. Due to the age of the Brivis there was no point in trying to repair as it would be too costly. Swapping it out with a new Coolair CPQ850 which comes with a 5 year warranty and also a timer which the old one was lacking.
