A complete service, not a quick hose-out
Over winter, dust, leaves and minerals build up in your cooler's tank and pads. Without a service, the first hot day often brings weak cooling, a stale smell or a pump that will not start. A full service fixes these issues before they become breakdowns.
Each service follows a set checklist. We drain and clean the tank, inspect and rinse the pads, test the pump and motor, check the float valve and drain system, and confirm the cooler is cooling correctly. You get a short report on anything that will need attention soon.
A service is due if:
- It has been more than 12 months since the last service
- The cooler sat unused all winter
- Cooling feels weaker than last summer
- You notice a damp or musty smell
- Water marks or scale are visible on the pads
- You are moving into a home with an existing cooler

Problems a regular service prevents
How your evaporative cooler works
Evaporative cooling uses water and fresh outside air instead of refrigerant. Understanding the four main parts makes it easy to see why a single failed component stops the whole system cooling.
Tank & pump
Water collects in the tank and the pump lifts it to the top of the pads.
Cooling pads
Water soaks the pads. As hot air passes through, evaporation cools it by up to 10–15°C.
Fan & motor
The fan draws air through the wet pads and pushes it down into the ducts.
Ducts & outlets
Ducts carry the cool air to each room. Open a window or door so warm air can escape.
Simple, transparent and on time

Evaporative Cooler Service: common questions
How often should an evaporative cooler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in spring before summer starts. Homes with hard water, heavy use or lots of nearby trees benefit from a second check mid-season.
How long does a service take?
Most residential services take 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the unit and how much scale has built up.
Do you replace the pads during a service?
Only if they need it. We rinse and inspect the pads during every service and give you a price for replacement if they are blocked, scaled or breaking down.
What is the best time of year to book a service?
September to November. Booking before the first heatwave avoids waiting lists and means any worn parts are replaced before you need the cooler.
Can I service the cooler myself?
You can safely clean the filters and run the cooler regularly. Tank cleaning, electrical checks and roof work should be done by a licensed technician for safety reasons.
