HVAC Maintenance in Brisbane, QLD
What is included
What Is Included in Our HVAC Maintenance
- We look over the indoor and outdoor units, the pipework and the controls for wear, leaks and loose fittings.
- Filters come out and get washed or swapped, and coils and fan blades are cleaned of dust and grime.
- We clear the condensate drain so water runs away outside and not down the wall or onto the ceiling.
- We check refrigerant pressures and airflow against what the system should be doing for the day's temperature.
- Electrical connections are tightened and the thermostat and controls are tested, so the system starts and stops when it should.
- Walk-in rooms and display cabinets get the same check, including door seals, evaporator fans and defrost.
- Anything worn or about to fail is pointed out and left for you to decide on before we pack up.
- We tidy the work area, put panels back on and run the system once more before leaving.

Local air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, not a call centre
An air conditioning and refrigeration technician answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Maintenance is a routine, not a repair
Tell us what equipment you run
The first call is about what you have. We ask what systems are on site, how old they are, whether they are air conditioning, refrigeration or both, and what has been playing up lately. A list of makes and where each unit sits helps us plan the visit.
Quote from the equipment list
Maintenance is priced from the equipment, because a small split system and a cool room take very different amounts of work. We work out the time each unit needs and how often it should be visited. Rooftop units and tight plant rooms take longer than easy ground-level units, and that is taken into account.
The visit and the handover
On the day we work through each unit in turn, cleaning first and testing second, so we see the system running clean. Anything worn gets pointed out as we go. When the last unit is done we refit the panels, tidy up and go through what we found with you.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems do you work on?
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.
Should I choose a split system or ducted air conditioning?
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.
Should I repair my air conditioner or replace 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.
Do you do commercial air conditioning and refrigeration?
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.
Why is my air conditioner leaking water inside?
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.
Why has my air conditioner iced up?
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.
Why is my fridge or freezer running warm?
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.
What happens to my stock if a freezer fails?
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.
How often should an air conditioner or fridge be serviced?
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.
Which areas do you cover?
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.
What should I have ready when I call?
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.
Do you repair ice machines and cool rooms?
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.
