Air Conditioning Repair in Goonellabah, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Air Conditioning Repair
- We start by asking what the unit is doing, then check the filter, the remote settings and the breaker.
- We take off the indoor panel and look at the coil for ice, dust or a blocked drain pan.
- We check the condensate drain line, because a blocked drain is a common reason for leaks and shutdowns.
- We take pressure readings at the outdoor unit to see whether the refrigerant charge is low or leaking.
- We test the capacitor, contactor and fan motor, which are parts that often stop an outdoor unit starting.
- We test the thermostat sensor and the control board if the unit starts and stops in an odd pattern.
- We replace the faulty part, such as a capacitor, thermostat or compressor, once you have agreed to it.
- We run the unit again, check the air is cold and the drain is clear, then clean up.

How the job runs
Warm air does not always mean low gas
Tell us what it is doing
Tell us what you see and hear: warm air, ice on the pipes, water inside, a clicking outdoor unit or an error light. Say if the breaker has tripped. Have the make and model ready from the rating plate if you can reach it. Switch the unit off if it is leaking water.
Finding the fault and your options
We test the unit part by part, indoors and out. The cause is sometimes only visible once the panel is off. Then we explain what failed and what it means. For an older unit we lay out repair against replacement, and nothing is replaced or opened up further until you say yes.
Repair, test and handover
We fit the part, clean the filter, coil or drain if they contributed, and run the unit through a full cooling cycle. We check the air at the vent, listen to the outdoor fan and watch the drain run. Before we leave, we tell you what we changed and what to watch for.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which refrigeration and air conditioning jobs do you take on?
We install, repair and maintain air conditioners, fridges, freezers, ice machines and walk-in freezers, and we repair heating on ducted, split system and reverse cycle units. The service pages list what each job involves.
Do you work on both homes and businesses?
Yes. The work ranges from household fridges and split systems to cool rooms, display fridges, ice machines and walk-in freezers in cafes, restaurants and shops. The faults are often similar, but a commercial unit has stock inside it, so we plan around that.
What types of air conditioner do you install?
We install split, multi-split and ducted systems. Where the right choice is not clear, we look at the room or building, how it is used and where the outdoor unit can sit, and explain the options.
Can you look at a walk-in freezer or cool room?
Yes. We repair walk-in freezers and cool rooms, including temperature that will not hold, compressor and fan motor faults, defrost problems and worn door seals. We also install new commercial refrigeration.
What should I have ready when I call?
The make and model of the unit if you can read it off the rating plate, and a short description of the problem. Not cooling, making a loud noise and leaking water are all useful starting points.
When is the phone answered?
The phone on 0415 245 105 is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a freezer or cool room has stopped out of hours, call and describe what it is doing.
Which towns do you cover?
We work in Goonellabah, Lismore, Alstonville, Wollongbar, Ballina, Lennox Head, Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Ocean Shores. If you are close to those, call and ask.
Do you offer regular maintenance?
Yes, for air conditioners, refrigeration units and cool rooms. Cleaning filters, coils and drain lines before they cause a fault is the main reason a unit runs well for longer. Tell us what you have and how hard it works and we will talk through how often it needs a visit.
Is it worth repairing an old fridge or should I replace it?
It depends on what has failed. A worn door seal, a faulty thermostat or a dead fan motor is usually a straightforward repair. A fault in the sealed system on an old unit is a different question. We explain what we found and the options before any work starts.
My fridge is running but not cold. What can I check first?
Check the door is closing fully and the seal is not torn or dirty. Make sure nothing is blocking the vents inside and that there is some space behind and above the fridge for air to move. If it still will not cool, switch it off, keep the door shut and call.
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air or leaking water?
Common causes include a clogged filter, a dirty coil, a blocked drain line and a low refrigerant charge. Some of those are quick to put right and some need a technician to find. Switch it off if water is running onto a wall or floor, and call us.
What should I do if a freezer or cool room stops working out of hours?
Keep the door shut so the cold stays in, and note what the temperature display is reading. Do not try to chip ice or open the unit up. Call and tell us the make and model and what you have seen, and we will talk through what to do next.
