Air conditioning and refrigeration technician in Capalaba, QLD

Split systems, ducted air conditioning and commercial air conditioning, plus heating. On the refrigeration side we cover commercial fridges and freezers, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, ice machines and household fridges and freezers. We install, repair and service all the major brands.

A split system cools one room or one open area, and is the usual choice for a bedroom, a lounge or a small shop. Ducted cooling runs air through ceiling vents to many rooms from one unit, so it suits a whole house when the roof space allows it. What is above your ceiling and how many rooms you want cooled usually decide it.

It depends on what has failed and how old the unit is. A fan motor, a drain, a sensor or a small leak is usually worth repairing. A failed compressor on an old system can cost more than the unit is worth, and we will say so when that is the case.

Yes. Our commercial clients include retail, hospitality, healthcare, schools and industrial sites. That covers rooftop and ceiling units, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, display fridges and ice machines.

The most common cause is a blocked condensate drain. A system pulls moisture out of Brisbane's humid air, and when the drain line clogs with grime the water backs up and spills from the indoor unit. A dirty filter or a cracked drain tray can do the same, so it is worth switching the unit off and having it looked at before the water reaches the ceiling.

Ice on the indoor unit or the pipes usually means too little air is moving across the coil, or the refrigerant is low. A clogged filter, a dirty coil or a failing fan restricts the air, and a leak lets the charge drop. Switch it off and let it thaw, and have it checked before running it again.

Common causes are a worn door seal, a condenser coil clogged with dust, a failed evaporator fan, a defrost fault or a problem in the refrigerant circuit. A cabinet pushed too close to a wall or sitting in a hot kitchen also struggles to hold temperature. If you can tell us how warm it is and what you can hear, we can say which is likely.

Keep the door shut so the cold stays in, and move what you can to another working fridge or freezer. Whether food is still safe depends on how warm it got and for how long, which we cannot judge from here. Call us so the fault can be found while the stock is still cold.

Brisbane runs cooling for much of the year, so a system works longer than it would in a milder city. A regular visit to clean filters and coils, clear the drain and check pressures and airflow catches wear before it stops the system. We offer scheduled maintenance for businesses, so the visits come at set intervals.

Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs. The Service Areas page lists Rochedale, Springwood, Redland Bay, South Brisbane, Sunnybank, Brisbane CBD, Eight Mile Plains, Underwood, Logan, Capalaba, Mount Gravatt and Ipswich. That list is where the work goes most often, not a boundary, so ask if your suburb is not on it.

The type of system, the brand if you can see it on the label, and what it is doing. Note when it started, whether it shows an error code, and whether the switch at the board has tripped. For a fridge or freezer, a temperature reading and whether there is stock inside help.

Yes. Ice machines, cool rooms and walk-in freezers are part of the commercial refrigeration work. Common faults include a machine that stops making ice, a room that will not hold temperature, a door seal that has failed and a fan or defrost fault.
