Reliable Evaporative Cooling Repairs and Maintenance

A significant amount of strain is placed on your cooling system during peak summer periods. Without regular attention, systems are prone to unexpected breakdowns when you need them most. At Coldflow, we specialise in proactive maintenance and fast repairs to keep your home or business comfortable without the stress of a mid-summer failure.

Our licensed HVAC technicians offer a meticulous evaporative cooling service that guarantees your system is operating at peak efficiency. Beyond just temperature control, a well-maintained unit effectively manages moisture levels and ensures the air circulating through your property is clean and safe.

By choosing Coldflow for your evaporative cooling service, you benefit from unobstructed airflow and the smooth operation of all mechanical parts. We provide scheduled annual inspections that are essential for maintaining your manufacturer's warranty and identifying minor wear and tear before it evolves into a costly emergency.

Ensuring Superior Indoor Air Quality

Regularly servicing your air conditioner significantly increases the lifespan of the unit while protecting the health of your family or employees. Our technicians focus on sanitising and optimising components that directly impact air quality, including:

Removing debris from ductwork:We ensure that dust and allergens are not recirculated through your rooms.
Cleaning or replacing air filters: We prevent dirt buildup from forcing your system to work harder and reducing airflow.
Optimising moisture control: We stop improper cycling that leads to the growth of mould, mildew, and bacteria.

It is recommended that you book an evaporative cooling service at least once every 12 months. This frequency ensures maximum performance and longevity for your investment.

Servicing All Major Brands in Melbourne

With over 50 years of experience, we can service all makes and models of evaporative coolers, ensuring that you see the benefit from proper maintenance. Evaporative coolers operate in a damp environment, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria if left uncleaned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an evaporative cooling service include?

Our comprehensive service includes removing and cleaning louvres and filter pads to clear all debris: such as dust and insects: checking the water pump, drain valve, and float valve for leaks, sanitising the internal water tank, and inspecting all roof flashings and water lines. We conclude every visit with a full system function test.

How often should I service my evaporative cooler and why?

You should service your unit at least once a year. Regular maintenance preserves your manufacturer’s warranty, improves indoor air quality by preventing mould growth, and ensures the system remains energy efficient, which keeps your utility bills lower.

Do you service all evaporative cooler brands and other HVAC systems?

Yes. We are experts in all leading brands: including Brivis, Braemar, and Breezair: and have experience with every system type on the market. Our team also handles gas ducted heating, split systems, and ducted refrigerated air conditioning. We often provide savings when you book multiple services for the same day.

Is there a warranty on evaporative cooling service and repairs?

Yes, evaporative cooling service and repair work carried out by Coldflow includes a three month labour warranty and a twelve month warranty on parts, providing added reassurance after maintenance or repair has been completed.

How do I know if my evaporative cooler needs a repair?

Common signs include unusual smells (musty or damp), strange noises during operation, water leaking from the unit on the roof, or a noticeable drop in cooling performance. If you notice any of these issues, it is best to book a service immediately to prevent further damage.

Will a service help reduce my electricity and water bills?

Absolutely. When your filters are clean and the water distribution system is balanced, the unit doesn't have to work as hard to cool your home. An efficient system uses less power and manages water consumption more effectively, saving you money over time.

The Coldflow Service Advantage

Regular servicing by Coldflow will prolong the lifespan of your Evaporative Cooling by; removing debris and build-up, inspecting moving parts and identifying parts showing early signs of wear to avoid inconvenient, costly breakdowns.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Darren Story was very helpful with the initial site visit, he explained clearly how the installation would run, and gave us the options. Ash and his team did a highly professional job with the installation, and I am thankful that they wore masks as my mum was home recovering from surgery. A brilliant job all round, thank you very much.

I just had my two units installed. Please pass on my thanks to Jared Wates, who provided the quote, and the team that installed the systems today. The installation team worked really hard, double-checked, if not triple-checked, and certainly made sure things were clean when they left. A very professional and courteous team.

Relatively minor problem. Serge took due diligence and checked whole unit. May need a new stop valve in future. He explained how how well our 19yo unit is functioning and gave us thoughts on future possibilities. Obviously a very experienced technician and a real gentleman.

We would have liked to be given the option whether to have the smelly chemicals sprayed in the split systems, as the smell lasted for over a week and we would have opted not to have that. Otherwise we are very happy with the overall service and communication from the technician.

The whole process was smooth from beginning to end. (Brian was Sales Rep). Good communication was provided via phone or txt msgs. The installer (Matt) was punctual, professional, polite, friendly, and a hard worker on a very hot day! A/c unit is effective, quiet and a slimline design. Thank You!

Every step of the process was first class and professional. You did what you said you were going to do, on the days that you promised and the installation was like swiss clockwork.

Very likely, your team arrived on time. They worked quickly and efficiently, plus they were very friendly. They left our house as they found it , clean and tidy. Just one thing they left behind a piece of equipment which I'm sure they can use. It is no use to us, so it would be a shame to throw it out. Many Thanks.

Rang for a service on the existing gas ducted heating system to find the system had died. A quote for a new system was provided on the day and installed the next day. The installation team were excellent, providing great advice and support during the installation. Sincere thank you to all.

TINA M.

The whole installation and mains connection went seamlessly, with only a very small 'mains disconnect' period, which was great as my son is currently WFH and had a very small unavailability time with work. Very happy with the whole process, from quote to installation.

Ray did an excellent job. As it turned out, the error that caused the problem was cleared when the power was off after the storm, but he still made sure the system was working properly by doing a really thorough check of everything. Very helpful, professional and clearly very keen to make sure the job was done properly. Great work!
