We are working while everyone else is on holiday
The Christmas to Australia Day period is peak heatwave season, and it is when many trades close for weeks. If your cooler fails on Boxing Day, you need someone who is actually open.
We run a holiday roster every year, with technicians available on public holidays for repairs and emergencies. Better still, book a pre-holiday service in early December and avoid a breakdown altogether.
Plan ahead for the holidays:
- Book a pre-holiday service in late November or early December
- Test your cooler before guests arrive
- Check the water supply is turned on and not leaking
- Listen for new noises from the roof unit
- Save our number in your phone
- Know where the cooler's water isolation valve is

Why coolers fail over the holidays
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
Call or book online
Tell us the brand and what the cooler is doing. We give you an arrival window, usually the same day.
On-site diagnosis
A licensed technician tests the pump, motor, float valve, pads and controls to find the real cause.
Fixed price, your approval
You get a fixed price before any work starts. No call-out surprises and no pressure to proceed.
Repair, test & tidy up
We fix it with quality parts, run a full cooling test and leave the roof and ceiling area clean.

Public Holiday Cooler Repair: common questions
Are you open on Christmas Day?
Yes. We roster technicians on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Australia Day and other public holidays for repairs and emergencies.
Do public holiday repairs cost more?
A public holiday call-out rate applies. We confirm the cost when you call, and parts are priced the same as any other day.
When should I book a pre-holiday service?
Late November to mid-December. Bookings fill quickly as the holidays approach.
Can you check my cooler before I go away?
Yes. We can check it, fit or test the water isolation valve, and advise on leaving the cooler safely while the home is empty.
What if my cooler leaks while I am on holiday?
Ask a neighbour to turn off the cooler's water supply and call us. We can arrange access and repair it before you return.
