Quoted Mon, installed Fri
Took the old gas Rinnai out, dropped in a Reclaim heat pump, sorted the VEU rebate so I paid less than $400 out of pocket. Bloke on the phone is the bloke on the tools, refreshing.

Evaporative cooler service
A pre-summer service on a roof-mounted evaporative cooler. Pads, water tray, pump and float all get checked and cleaned, because the first 38-degree day is a bad time to discover the pump seized over winter — and it's the day everyone else rings too.

Is it right for you
Where evaporative cooler service works, and where it doesn’t.
We’d rather you read this and ring someone else than have us fit the wrong thing and both regret it.
The right call when
- Any roof-mounted evap going into summer after a winter sitting idle
- Units blowing warm, smelling stale, or dripping
- September and October, before the queue forms
- Homes where the cooler is the only summer system, so it has to work
Think twice if
- Pads have a life. If they've gone brittle or scaled up they get replaced, and that's a parts cost on top of the service
- A seized pump or a failed motor is a repair, not a service — we'll quote it separately rather than bury it
- Roof access in the wet is a safety call. If it's not safe on the day we'll rebook rather than push it
How we do it
What happens, start to finish.
- 01
Book the visit — one call, no menu
Call and book with the person you'll see — Chaz or Jake picks up, quotes the service fee, and books a window that suits you. No press-1 hold music, no third-party dispatcher.
- 02
We arrive with the parts
Common consumables — capacitors, thermistors, PCB relays, refrigerant, filters — live on the truck. Most service jobs are one-visit fixes because we're not driving back for a $12 part.
- 03
Service on the day
Filter clean, coil chemical clean (indoor + outdoor), refrigerant pressure check, capacitor + fan motor test, drain flush, thermistor calibration. Written service report before we leave.
- 04
Diagnose + written quote for any repair
If a component needs replacing we quote it in writing before we touch it. Fixed pricing, no hourly creep. Fee is waived if you accept the repair the same day.
- 05
Service record lodged with the manufacturer
We upload the service report direct to Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu etc so your warranty record stays clean and any future claim goes through without a fight.
- 06
12-month reminder
We drop you a text 11 months later so the annual is booked before the heatwave. Skip it if you don't want it — it's a one-line opt-out.

Family business, feels it
Answered the phone myself, quoted the job, showed up to install the job. That trail of trust doesn't exist with most of the bigger mobs anymore.

Actually got up in the roof
Had three quotes for a ducted system. These guys were the only ones who actually crawled into the roof. Middle of the pack on price but installed cleaner than the others would have.

Weighing up the alternatives
Step 1 of 4 · 25% complete
When should I service my evaporative cooler?
Early spring — September or October. Leave it to the first hot day and you're in a queue with everyone else in the south-east.
How often do the pads need replacing?
Typically every three to five years depending on your water and how hard the unit runs. We check them every service and tell you when they're getting close rather than replacing them early.
Why is it blowing warm air?
Usually the pump isn't wetting the pads — a seized pump, a blocked distributor or a water supply that got turned off. All of it is checked in a service.
