Okay, house related rather than garage, but y'know...
I recently bought a house in Denver that had a rooftop evaporative cooler removed by a prior owner. Right under what I think was the downdraft from the cooler (looks like an attic access - haven't taken time to look) are three wall controls, one in the living room, one each in two adjacent bedrooms. The controls barely make a ten-foot triangle. They're mounted in a double plate with the room light switch. They look like rotary switches or maybe rheostats - one clicks and stops, the other two rotate stiffly. (But then, there's a lot of prior-gen broken stuff in this place that I'm slowly cleaning up, so I can't tell which is supposed to be normal operation.)
Would these be controls for the evaporative cooler? Why would there be three, especially so close together? Anyone experienced in whole-house swamp cooling systems care to enlighten me?
