An evaporative cooler is one of the most cost-effective ways to cool a whole home through summer, drawing fresh air through water-soaked pads and pushing it out cool and clean through your ceiling vents. When it’s running well, the whole house stays comfortable for very little. When the pads are worn, the pump has failed, or it’s blowing warm air, summer gets uncomfortable fast. Whether yours needs a service before the heat arrives, has stopped cooling, or you’re planning a new install, QuickAir has a licensed technician who can be there fast and get it sorted.

National Evaporative Cooling Experts | Licensed and Fully Insured
Regular servicing is the single cheapest thing you can do to protect your system. An air conditioner’s compressor, filters, coils and electrical components all need routine maintenance to keep working efficiently and performance drops off quietly when they don’t. On average, 90% of units that skip preventative maintenance go on to report ongoing issues.
Most evaporative work in Australia goes to a local operator who may or may not turn up. We work differently, because we were built differently. Our start was in enterprise, keeping the heating and cooling running for a major national telco and two of the country’s biggest insurers, the kind of clients who count every late arrival and every job that has to be done twice. That’s the standard your service is held to. Today we’re one of only a handful of genuinely national providers, with licensed techs based in your city and ready to climb up and sort your cooler out.

What a QuickAir Evaporative Service Covers
A service is a thorough, professional tune-up of your evaporative cooling system carried out by a licensed QuickAir technician. The goal is to have it clean, filled and ready before the first hot day, rather than finding a problem on the day you need it most. A well-maintained evaporative cooler uses very little power, keeps the air fresh, and lasts longer, which saves you replacing pads and pumps before their time. Here's what a service covers.
Pads & Water System
We inspect the cooling pads and replace them if they're worn or clogged, then check the pump and water distribution lines so water is spreading evenly across the pads and the air comes through cool.
Water Level & Drainage
We check and adjust the float valve and water level, and clear and test the drain and bleed-off system, the parts that quietly cause overflow, scale and odour problems when they're left unchecked.
Fan &
Motor
We check the fan, bearings and motor, and adjust the belt on belt-driven units, so the system moves the air it should without straining or getting noisy.
Full System
Check
We flush and sanitise the water tank, inspect the electrical components and controller, check the ducting and vents, and go over the general condition of the roof-mounted unit before we leave.

How does an evaporative air conditioner work?
An evaporative cooler sits on your roof and draws warm outside air through pads that are kept wet by a small water pump. As the air passes through the wet pads it cools down, and a fan pushes that cool, fresh air through ducts and out of vents in your ceilings. Because it brings in fresh air rather than recirculating the same air, you can run it with doors and windows open, and it works best in Australia’s drier climates.
How often should I service my evaporative cooler?
We recommend a service once a year, ideally just before summer so it’s clean, filled and ready for the first hot day. Evaporative units sit outside in the weather all year, so pads wear, tanks collect scale and dust, and pumps can seize if the system has been sitting through winter. An annual service keeps the air fresh, the running costs low, and the unit lasting longer.
My evaporative cooler is blowing warm air. Can you come out today?
In most cases, yes. We can get a licensed technician to you the same day or first thing the next morning. Warm air usually means worn or dry pads, a pump that isn’t circulating water, or a water level problem, and the technician will diagnose it on-site and explain what’s needed. Because our technicians carry major spare parts, they can often fix it in the same visit. Nothing beyond the booked service happens without your approval first.
Do my cooling pads need replacing, or can they be cleaned?
It depends on their condition, and the technician will tell you honestly. Pads that are just dusty can often be cleaned as part of a service. Pads that are clogged with scale, breaking down, or no longer letting water through evenly are better replaced, because worn pads mean weaker cooling and a musty smell. If a repair or replacement is worth doing, we’ll say so, and if the whole unit is near the end of its life we’ll let you know that too, with no pressure either way.
How much does an evaporative service or new system cost?
An evaporative service is a fixed $259 for new customers, or $249 if you’ve booked with us before. If you’re after a new or replacement system, an on-site installation quote is $149, and that fee is credited back if you go ahead with the install. Every price is fixed and known upfront, with no call-out fees and no surprises. Interest-free finance is available on new installs.
