Planned maintenance that pays for itself
Most breakdowns we attend in January could have been prevented with a spring service. Scale, algae and worn belts build up slowly, then cause a failure on the hottest day of the year. A maintenance schedule catches these problems early.
We combine a spring start-up service with an optional autumn shutdown, where we drain the tank, protect the pads and close the winter covers. That keeps dust and cold air out of your home over winter and means your cooler is clean and ready for summer.
Maintenance plans suit homes that:
- Rely on the cooler every summer
- Have hard or bore water that causes scale
- Are surrounded by trees that drop leaves
- Are rental properties needing compliance records
- Have an older cooler you want to extend
- Want to avoid peak-season breakdowns

Spring start-up
Full clean, pump and motor test, and cooling check before summer.
Autumn shutdown

What regular maintenance 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

Regular Maintenance & Servicing: common questions
How often should my cooler be maintained?
At least once a year in spring. For heavy use or hard water, we recommend a spring service plus an autumn shutdown visit.
What happens in a winter shutdown?
We drain and dry the tank, disconnect or protect the water supply, check the pads and fit the winter cover so dust and cold air stay out of your home.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Our maintenance schedules are a reminder service, not a lock-in contract. You approve each visit before we book it.
Is maintenance worth it for an older cooler?
Yes. Regular maintenance is the best way to get extra years from an older unit, and we will tell you if any part is close to failing.
Can you provide records for my rental property?
Yes. We provide a written service report after every visit, which landlords and property managers can keep on file.
