My air conditioner just died, so I am without this coming Summer season. Looking at swamp coolers, high power floor fans etc to keep my home cool when it gets hot starting next month.

Swamp coolers don't work well when the humidity goes over about 35%. They are wonderful in the high desert though. I loved the one we had in our house in western CO, way cheaper to run than an ac, but I don't think it would help cool off a house in high humidity. Good luck staying cool.
