Evaporative Coolers Regular servicing of Evaporative Coolers is recommended as efficiency and performance can be lost if deposits of windblown dirt & pollen are allowed to clog up the system. It also ensures a healthier environment for your home as the servicing process prevents the accumulation of slimes & moulds. What does our service technician do whilst performing an Evaporative Cooler Service? Opens up unit Cleans out reservoir Cleans water sprinklers Checks operation of floater valve Checks V-Belt tension (If required) Checks operation of fan Checks pads & cleans them if necessary Checks overall appearance of unit Note: Some parts of these systems are non-serviceable such as: Electrical drain valves Solenoids Pumps Controllers Split System Air Conditioners The main servicing requirement of this type of air conditioner is to clean the filters regularly (about every month whilst they are in use.) The good news is most people can do this themselves as it requires no technical knowledge. In the case of Wall Hung split systems, you just need to know how to access the filters on the indoor unit of your particular unit which will be explained in the owner’s manual you received when you purchased your system. If you have mislaid this manual helpful “You Tubes” demonstrating how to clean the filters are available on the internet for most brands. We do offer this service, however, for customers who are unable or do not want to clean their own filters. What does our service technician do whilst performing a Wall Hung Split System Service? Cleans and washes indoor filters Checks heat/cool modes on unit Checks refrigerant gas pressure Checks units' amps Ducted Splits What does our service technician do whilst performing Ducted Splits Service?

For units that present with problems, our repair pricing structure comes in to play which consists of a call out fee and timed charges for labour. Below are some trouble shooting exercises you can try first but, if they fail to fix the problem, please call our friendly office staff and they will explain our charges and organise a repair technician to visit your property and find a solution to your problem. Troubleshooting Before you call us, try these troubleshooting exercises. It may save you some unnecessary expense. All Systems – the golden trouble shooting rule “Have you tried turning it on and off again?” All systems have computer boards and, just like your pc or laptop, can be reset by following the directions in your owners and/or thermostat manual or by turning off the power to the isolation switch into which your appliance is plugged and then turning it back on again. If the system continually needs to be reset, however, then your system has a problem that will need to be addressed by a qualified repair technician. Evaporative Cooling Problem 1: My Evaporative Cooler won’t turn on. Possible Solution 1: Make sure the controller is in manual mode and not auto mode. Split Systems Problem 1: If the refrigerated system (wall hung or ducted) keeps switching itself off. Possible Solution 1: Ensure the filters are clean. If they are blocked, the system will be starved of air and will switch itself off in order to avoid overheating. You might get it going again but it will continue to switch itself off each time until the filters are clean. Ideally, we recommend that you clean the filters every 2 weeks if the systems are in constant use. Problem 2: If there is no power going to the refrigerated system (easy to tell on Wall hung Split Systems as the lights on the indoor unit won't be lit). Problem 3: If water is dripping from the indoor unit of the Split System. Gas Ducted Heaters Problem 1: The unit turns itself off. Possible Solution 1: Ensure the filters are clean. If they are blocked the system will be starved of air and will switch itself off in order to avoid overheating. You might get it going again but it will continue to switch itself off each time until the filters are clean. Ideally, we recommend that you clean the filters every 2 weeks if the systems are in constant use. Problem 2: The unit won't switch on at the controller.
