Machine Maintenance in Goonellabah, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Machine Maintenance
- We start with the filters and the drain line, since those are what block first and cause water damage.
- We clean the evaporator and condenser coils, brushing out the dust, grease and leaf litter that choke the airflow.
- We check the fan motors and bearings for noise or heat and lubricate the moving parts that need it.
- We look over the belts for cracks and wear, and adjust the tension where the unit has them.
- We tighten the electrical connections and look for burnt marks, loose wires and swollen capacitors.
- We test the thermostat and controls, and check that the unit switches on and off when it should.
- We read the operating pressures and temperatures and compare them with what the unit should show.
- We run the unit through a full cycle, tell you what we found, and note what will need attention soon.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Machine Maintenance?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every machine maintenance job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your machine maintenance is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local refrigeration and air conditioning technicians, not a call centre
A refrigeration and air conditioning technician answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Maintenance is mostly the part you never see
The call, what to have ready
Tell us which machines you want looked at: air conditioners, fridges, cool rooms, ice machines. List what has been playing up, even small things like a noisy fan or a drip. Have the make and model of each unit handy, and tell us where each one is so we can reach it.
What we find, what it means
As we clean and check, we are looking for wear that has not yet turned into a breakdown, such as a tired bearing, a weeping joint or a coil caked in grime. Some of it is easy to fix on the spot. Anything bigger we explain first, with the options laid out, and nothing happens without your say.
The work, the test, the handover
We carry out the cleaning, lubrication and adjustments, then run each machine and check pressures, temperatures and controls. We put every panel back and clean up after ourselves. Before we leave, we tell you what we found and what we would keep an eye on next.
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.
