Evaporative cooling
New evaporative coolers installed, old ones replaced, and existing systems serviced and repaired, for homes across Berwick and South-East Melbourne.
Fresh, low-cost cooling for the whole house
Evaporative cooling is one of the cheapest ways to cool a whole home in Melbourne's dry summer heat. It pulls in fresh air through wet pads and pushes it through your ducts, using a fraction of the power of refrigerated air conditioning.
We install new systems, replace old roof units, and service and repair existing coolers across South-East Melbourne.
What we do
- New installs: evaporative cooling for homes that do not have it yet
- Replacements: swapping a worn-out roof unit for a new one, often using the existing ducts
- Servicing: cleaning the pads, water tank and pump, and checking the water flow and drain
- Repairs: pumps, motors, float valves, leaks and controls
Time for a service?
- The air is not as cool as it used to be
- Musty or stale smells when it starts
- Water leaking or overflowing on the roof
- It has not been serviced since last summer
What customers say about us
“Sam and his son installed a new evaporative air conditioning system in my home. They were very efficient and reliable and the price was very good. Highly recommended.”
“The guys came out to replace our broken evap cooler with a new one, they arrived 20 minutes early and had the job done within an hour! Super friendly, reliable and did an amazing job!”
“I left a message and got a call 5 minutes later. Sam organised a time to come out, on a Sunday, arrived early, fixed the problem promptly and didn't charge the earth for a Sunday call out.”
Common questions
How often should an evaporative cooler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in spring before the hot weather starts. A service keeps the pads and water clean and the system running efficiently.
Evaporative or refrigerated cooling: which is better?
Evaporative cooling is cheap to run and brings in fresh air, and it works best in dry heat. Refrigerated systems such as split systems cool well in humid weather and can also heat. We can explain the trade-offs for your home.
Can you replace my old cooler with a new one?
Yes. We regularly replace old roof units, and in many cases the new cooler can connect to your existing ducts.
Which brands do you install?
We install Bonaire and other leading evaporative cooling brands. Ask us for a recommendation for your home.
