Cooling System Maintenance in Goonellabah, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Cooling System Maintenance
- We start with what you have noticed: odd noises, long running times, ice, water on the floor or warm spots.
- We check the filters and air intake, and clean them if dust or grease has clogged them.
- We clean the evaporator and condenser coils, where dirt makes the unit work harder for the same cooling.
- We clear the drain line and pan so water leaves the unit and does not back up.
- We check refrigerant levels with gauges and look at joints and fittings for oil stains that point to a leak.
- We check the thermostat settings and sensor, and adjust the controls so the unit starts and stops when it should.
- We lubricate fan motors and other moving parts, then test electrical connections and the safety cut-outs.
- We run the unit, explain what we found and any repairs we would recommend, and leave the area tidy.

How the job runs
Dirty coils make a unit work harder
What to have ready
Tell us which units you want looked at: air conditioners, a cool room, a display fridge or a mix. Mention anything odd, like noise, ice or longer running times. Make sure we can reach the indoor and outdoor units, or the back of the refrigeration unit. A note of the make and model helps.
What we find while servicing
Cleaning shows us a lot. A coil caked in dust, a drain with sludge in it or a fan motor running rough tells us where the unit is wearing. We explain each finding in plain words. If a part is near the end of its life, we say so and explain the repair, but nothing is done without your say.
Cleaning, testing and handover
We clean the filters, coils and drain, lubricate the moving parts and check the electrical connections and safety features. Then we run the unit and watch the temperatures, the sound and the water flow settle. Before we go, we explain what we found and any recommended repairs, and tidy the area.
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.
