About evaporative cooling servicing

What is evaporative cooling and how does it work?
Evaporative cooling systems use natural evaporation to cool air, drawing warm outside air through water-saturated cooling pads. In Melbourne's dry summer climate, these systems can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 15 degrees while using significantly less energy than refrigerated air conditioning.

The cooled air is then distributed throughout the home via ceiling ducts. These systems work best in low-humidity conditions and provide constant fresh air circulation, making them ideal for many Australian homes. They're particularly effective during hot, dry weather conditions.
What maintenance does an evaporative cooling system need?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning or replacing cooling pads, checking water distribution, cleaning the water tank, and inspecting electrical components. Annual servicing before summer ensures optimal performance and extends system life.

Professional servicing includes comprehensive system checks, water quality testing, motor and fan inspection, and ductwork assessment. Technicians also check control systems and ensure all safety features are functioning correctly.
How often should evaporative cooling pads be replaced?
Cooling pads typically need replacement every 3-5 years, depending on water quality, usage patterns, and environmental conditions. Regular inspection can identify early signs of pad deterioration or mineral build-up.

Professional technicians assess pad condition during routine maintenance and can recommend optimal replacement timing. They ensure replacement pads meet manufacturer specifications and are correctly installed for maximum efficiency.
Can evaporative cooling be used year-round?
While primarily designed for summer cooling, these systems can provide ventilation benefits throughout the year. During cooler months, fans can be operated without water for fresh air circulation.

Professional installers can advise on system operation strategies for different seasons and weather conditions. They may recommend additional features like winter seals or automatic dampers for improved year-round comfort.
What size system do I need for my home?
System sizing depends on factors including home size, ceiling height, insulation levels, and local climate conditions. Professional assessment considers room layout, window orientation, and specific cooling requirements.

Licensed installers conduct detailed load calculations to recommend appropriate system capacity. They consider future needs and potential home modifications when sizing systems to ensure long-term satisfaction.
How energy efficient are evaporative cooling systems?
Evaporative systems typically use 80% less electricity than equivalent refrigerated air conditioning. Operating costs are significantly lower, though water consumption needs consideration in overall efficiency calculations.

Professional installers can provide detailed energy consumption estimates and compare running costs with alternative cooling methods. They advise on optimal operation patterns to maximise efficiency while maintaining comfort levels.
What happens during professional servicing?
Professional servicing includes comprehensive system cleaning, component inspection, water quality testing, and performance optimization. Technicians check all mechanical and electrical components, including motors, fans, and control systems.

Service procedures include ductwork inspection, filter cleaning or replacement, water distribution system cleaning, and testing of all operational modes. Technicians provide detailed service reports and recommend any necessary repairs or upgrades.
How long do evaporative cooling systems last?
Well-maintained evaporative cooling systems typically last 15-20 years. Longevity depends on factors including water quality, usage patterns, maintenance regularity, and installation quality.

Professional installation and regular servicing significantly extend system life. Technicians can provide advice on maximising system lifespan and identify early warning signs of potential issues requiring attention.
What warranty coverage is provided?
New systems typically include manufacturer warranties ranging from 5-7 years on major components. Installation workmanship warranties provide additional protection against installation-related issues.

Professional installers provide detailed warranty documentation and explain maintenance requirements to maintain coverage. They register warranties with manufacturers and maintain comprehensive installation records for future reference.

What people say about After Hours Plumbing

I am very happy with Nathan’s quality work and his service. He was incredibly prompt, arriving shortly after I reached out about a pipe leakage issue in my house. His customer service was top-notch, he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the process and ensuring I understood what needed to be done.Not only did he fix the pipe leakage with diligence and great attention to quality, but he also helped me with my kitchen tap while he was here and resolved it on the spot! Additionally, he provided me with a reasonable quote for replacing my aging hot water system, which I’ll definitely consider in the near future.I highly recommend Nathan for anyone looking for professional, reliable, reasonable and efficient plumbing services.Great work Nathan!
We have no hesitation in recommending Nathan. His work was thorough, professional and meticulous. He clearly takes great pride in his work. Our 24 year old hot water service died and Nathan was able to replace it the next day. He arranged purchase and delivery of the new heater and removal of the old hot water service. He is an excellent communicator and kept us in the loop re: arrival time etc.Thanks Nathan, Peter and Yvonne.
