Signs your evaporative cooler needs attention
Weak airflow or reduced cooling
Persistent musty or unpleasant smells
Water leaking from the unit or ceiling vents
The water reservoir failing to fill or overflowing
Unusual rattling, squealing or grinding
Unreliable operation or unexpected shutdowns
These symptoms can have several causes. We assess the cooler before recommending work. Avoid accessing the roof or opening the unit yourself.
What we check during a service
Checks depend on your cooler's model, condition and manufacturer's requirements.
Electrical repairs must be completed by an appropriately licensed tradesperson. We'll explain how any electrical work will be handled.
Cooling pads
Inspect for dirt, scale and deterioration, and advise whether cleaning or replacement is needed.
Water supply and float valve
Check water delivery, connections and level controls for leaks or overflow problems.
Water distribution
Assess whether water is reaching the cooling pads evenly.
Reservoir and drainage
Clean accessible build-up and check that the drainage system operates correctly.
System operation
Check cooling performance and airflow, and identify faults requiring further attention.
Service, repair or replacement?
Reduced cooling does not always mean you need a new unit. Cleaning, maintenance or replacement parts may restore performance if the cooler is otherwise in good condition.
We assess its condition, parts availability and repair costs, then explain whether further work offers good value.
Got ducted gas heating as well? We service that too, so it's ready before winter.
Upfront servicing and repair prices
The cost depends on the cooler's condition, roof access, service requirements and any replacement parts.
We confirm servicing or investigation charges before starting. Additional repairs and parts are quoted for your approval before proceeding.
Our business-hours call-out fee is $50, waived if you proceed. After-hours fees are confirmed when you call.

Evaporative Cooler Questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
How often should my evaporative cooler be serviced?
Follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedule. Booking before summer helps prepare your cooler for hot weather. Dusty conditions or heavy use may require more frequent attention.
Why is my cooler blowing warm air?
Possible causes include restricted airflow, dirty pads or a problem with the water supply or pump. Evaporative cooling also becomes less effective in humid weather. We'll assess the system and explain what needs attention.
Why does my cooler smell musty?
Dirty pads, accumulated debris or stagnant water can cause unpleasant smells. We check the pads, reservoir and drainage to identify the cause and recommend suitable cleaning or repairs.
What should I do if my cooler is leaking?
Stop using it and call us, particularly if water is entering your ceiling or coming through a vent. If safe and accessible, close its water supply valve. Do not climb onto the roof or touch wet electrical equipment.
Does my cooler need winter maintenance?
Winter shutdown requirements vary by model. Some systems drain automatically, while others need additional maintenance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and only fit a cover if recommended. We can advise on a suitable shutdown service.
