How Do I Know If My Air Conditioning Needs Repairs?
There are several warning signs that your air conditioner may need professional attention:
Reduced or weak airflow
You may notice that air isn’t circulating as strongly through your vents as it used to.
Blowing warm air
Even when set to cooling mode, the system may blow out warm or room-temperature air.
Moisture or dampness on walls
Nearby walls may feel damp, indicating possible condensation or drainage issues.
Water leaks
Water dripping from the indoor unit usually means a blocked or damaged drain pipe.
Unusual noises
Rattling, whistling, hissing, buzzing, gurgling, or grinding sounds can point to loose parts or internal damage.
Bad odours
A musty or burning smell from the vents could be a sign of mould growth or electrical issues.
Unexpectedly high energy bills
A sudden spike in your electricity usage, despite normal operation, may indicate your system is overworking.
Frequent cycling
If your unit constantly turns on and off, it could be struggling to maintain the set temperature, possibly due to thermostat or sensor problems.
How do I Know If My Refrigerator Needs Repairs?
Excessive Ice Build-Up
If ice is forming in the freezer or around the evaporator coils and not defrosting, it could indicate a faulty defrost heater, thermostat, or defrost timer.
Freezer Cold but Fridge Warm
This often means there's restricted airflow between the freezer and fridge compartments, possibly due to a malfunctioning evaporator fan, blocked vents, or a failing damper control.
Unusual Noises
Loud or strange sounds like buzzing, clicking, or knocking may suggest issues with the compressor, evaporator fan motor, or condenser fan motor.
Water leaks
Water pooling under or inside your fridge could point to a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a broken water line (if it has an ice maker or water dispenser), or issues with the drain pan.

Commercial Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
Repairs & Maintenance FAQs
How often should my commercial air conditioning or refrigeration system be serviced?
To maintain efficiency and prevent breakdowns, it's recommended that your system be serviced at least twice a year. Businesses that rely on these systems year-round, such as restaurants and offices, may need more frequent servicing.
What’s included in a commercial service?
Depending on what’s required, a full service may involve:
- Cleaning filters and coils
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Testing controls and electrical systems
- Inspecting ducts, drains, and pipes
- Ensuring the system meets safety standards and energy efficiency
How long do commercial air conditioning and refrigeration systems last?
With regular maintenance, most systems last between 10 and 20 years. Coastal environments like Batemans Bay can shorten this lifespan due to salt exposure, so more frequent servicing may be required.
Should I repair or replace my commercial system?
If your system is more than 10 to 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or is inefficient, upgrading to a newer model might be more cost-effective in the long run.
Can I perform maintenance on my system myself?
Some basic maintenance, such as cleaning accessible filters or monitoring airflow, can be done in-house. However, for internal components, refrigerant handling, and electrical work, you should always rely on qualified professionals.
Do you offer priority service for commercial clients?
Yes. We offer fast, reliable service for businesses in Batemans Bay and Canberra, understanding that air conditioning and refrigeration are critical to your operations. We can provide quick response times and emergency repairs when needed.
