When your cooling systems fail, every minute counts. Our same-day cooler repair service in Melbourne is designed to minimise downtime for commercial clients and homeowners alike. We cover the Melbourne CBD, inner suburbs, and most of Greater Melbourne, with technicians strategically dispatched to reduce travel time and speed up on-site diagnostics for all types of refrigeration equipment and HVACR assets.
We operate as a responsive service company, aiming to restore temperature control rapidly so that stock remains safe and operations continue. Our refrigeration technician teams are equipped for commercial repair calls across brands such as True Refrigerators, Traulsen, Turbo Air, Randell, Continental, Delfield Co., Victory, Kelvinator, Everest Refrigeration, Norlake, Arctic Air, and American Panel walk-ins.
Common Cooler Problems We Fix Fast: Fridges, Freezers, and AC Units
Refrigerators, Freezers, and Walk-Ins
- Warm cabinet or fluctuating temperatures: Often linked to dirty condenser coils, iced-up evaporator coils, faulty thermostats, or failed door gaskets and sealed doors. We handle comprehensive refrigerator repair and cooler repair, including walk-in cooler defrost issues.
- Water leaks and clogged drains: Blocked condensate lines commonly cause interior leaks and odours; clearing clogged drains restores proper drainage and prevents icing.
- Ice buildup and short cycling: From airflow restrictions to sensor malfunction, we correct settings, perform coil cleaning, and verify defrost heaters.
- Component failures: Worn fan blades and motors, faulty condenser fans, damaged evaporator fans, and relay or control board failures are common in commercial refrigeration environments.
Air Conditioning and HVAC Support
For AC units serving kitchens, dining areas, and offices, we offer air conditioning repair and AC repair to stabilise heating and cooling loads. Whether split systems or packaged rooftop units, our HVAC expertise complements our refrigeration services, ensuring the entire site’s cooling systems operate reliably and efficiently.
How the Repair Works: Rapid Diagnosis, On-Site Parts
Rapid Triage and On-Site Testing
- Intake and triage: On booking, we capture symptoms, equipment model numbers, and site access details to dispatch the right refrigeration technician and parts.
- Diagnostics: Technicians arrive with digital gauges, leak detection tools, thermography, and electrical testing gear to isolate the malfunction quickly. We assess condenser and evaporator performance, airflow, and control logic to ensure a thorough HVACR diagnosis.
First-Visit Fixes with Stocked Vans
We aim for first-visit resolutions on most cooler repair calls. Service vehicles carry common spares—fans, contactors, thermostats, defrost timers, gaskets, sensors—and consumables for coil cleaning and sanitation. We maintain parts coverage for leading manufacturers, including True Refrigerators, Traulsen, Turbo Air, Continental, Delfield Co., Randell, Victory, Kelvinator, Everest Refrigeration, Norlake, Arctic Air, and American Panel walk-in cooler components.
Pricing and Booking Made Easy: Transparent Quotes, Call-Outs, and After-Hours Support
We keep pricing straightforward so you can make fast decisions.
- Call-out and diagnosis: Clear call-out rates with a capped diagnostic fee. You receive an itemised quote before we proceed with any repair services.
- Flat, fair labour blocks: Predictable labour increments for coil cleaning, filter cleaning, gasket replacement, and control calibration, whether it’s a deli case repair, ice machine repair, or comprehensive commercial refrigeration fix.
- After-hours coverage: Premium rates apply for after-hours and public holidays, but the same transparent quoting process applies for emergency repair work in Melbourne.
- Easy booking: Phone, email, or online portal. We provide ETA updates, technician tracking, and digital invoices. As a service company focused on commercial clients, we also offer account terms for multi-site groups and facility managers. Visit Professionair for further details.
Keep Your Coolers Running: Maintenance Tips and Energy Savings
Practical Maintenance Tips for Busy Sites
- Keep coils clean: Quarterly coil cleaning for both condenser and evaporator assemblies improves system capacity and reduces compressor strain.
- Replace or wash filters: Regular filter cleaning on ice machines and AC units preserves airflow and reduces icing and high-pressure faults.
- Inspect gaskets and hinges: Sealed doors prevent warm air infiltration and moisture that leads to icing and compressor overwork.
- Clear drains: Check condensate trays and lines for clogged drains to stop leaks and mould.
- Verify airflow: Inspect fan blades and shrouds; correct obstructions that cause hot spots and product loss.
- Calibrate controls: Confirm setpoints and sensor placement for stable temperature control in walk-in cooler spaces, deli cases, and prep tables.
Improve Energy Efficiency and Reduce Costs
Optimising cooling equipment yields immediate energy savings:
- Maintain door discipline and install strip curtains on high-traffic walk-in cooler entries.
- Balance defrost schedules and confirm evaporator drainage to prevent frost accumulation.
- Ensure condensers have proper ventilation clearance; overheating cuts efficiency and lifespan.
- For HVAC, balance heating and cooling setpoints seasonally and verify economiser functions where applicable.
