We have problems with our evaporative air conditioner. Are you able to repair this or do we need an air-con technician? Joel - Hyde Park

Hi Joel,

Great Question.

We certainly can assist in the servicing of evaporative air conditioners.

The most common problems with evaporative air conditioners come from leaks. There is a ball float which controls the amount of water in the reservoir. If this is faulty the reservoir can overflow causing a leak. The surrounding area is also prone to roof leaks. If you have water around your air-conditioner it is usually one of these 2 things.

Regular servicing of you unit is essential for the most efficient operation. In particular the pads of the unit should be cleaned regularly. The unit should also be drained and isolated during winter time and checked over before using in the summer time.

To discuss the specific requirements of your job please contact my office. We would be more than happy to help
