There’s no point as a swamp cooler does not have heat to reject. A heat pump in a traditional AC works by making one side hot (outside) and one side cool (inside). A swamp cooler decreases temps by evaporating water, which absorbs energy.
Also, swamp coolers are only effective in very dry environments. Unless you’re in the desert it’s going to make it feel warmer by raising humidity significantly. A large part of why AC makes it feel nicer is reducing humidity, which allows sweat to work better.
I wonder if using a swamp cooler at the same time as AC would increase the efficiency 🤔
No, AC reduces humidity while swamp coolers increase humidity. They would directly conflict and just waste electricity

In my use case I often don’t really need to change the humidity at all, I just want to cool down.
Usually when thats the case though there’s enough of a breeze that I can just open the windows and that’s definitely more efficient than running active cooling 😅
