FHC repairs evaporative cooling systems on all brands across Coffs Harbour, diagnosing faults with pumps, pads, motors, water distribution systems, float valves, and controls. The most common faults are a failed pump causing the unit to run as a fan only, a failed fan motor preventing the unit from running at all, blocked water distribution lines causing dry pads and reduced cooling output, and float valve failure causing the tank to overflow or run dry.
Evaporative cooler components are generally simpler and less expensive to repair than refrigerated system components. Most faults involve mechanical parts with straightforward replacement procedures. FHC carries common evaporative cooler parts in the service vehicle, including pumps, float valves, and distribution components, and aims to complete most repairs in a single visit. A written quote is provided after diagnosis and before any repair work begins.
For older evaporative coolers, FHC provides honest advice on whether repair or replacement is the better economic decision. If the cabinet is sound and the fan is in good condition, repairing a pump or valve on a ten-year-old unit is generally worthwhile. If the cabinet is rusted through or the motor is failing, FHC can provide a replacement installation quote through the same local contractor.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
This typically means water is not reaching the pads. The most common causes are a failed pump, a blocked water distribution line, or a faulty float valve leaving the tank empty. FHC can identify and fix the cause in most cases on the first visit.
Check the isolator switch on the unit itself, usually a rocker switch on the side of the cabinet, and the circuit breaker or fuse serving the unit at the switchboard. If both are on and the unit still does not respond, the fault is likely a failed control board or motor and requires a technician.
An overflowing tank is almost always caused by a failed float valve that is not shutting off the water supply when the tank is full. This is a straightforward part replacement that FHC can complete on a first visit.
Yes. Cooling pads that have deteriorated and become contaminated with mineral scale, algae, or biological matter can harbour bacteria and distribute particulates through the airstream. Annual pad replacement is recommended for both performance and indoor air quality reasons.
Evaporative coolers are mechanically simpler than refrigerated systems and parts are generally cheaper. If the cabinet and fan are sound, repairing a pump or valve on a ten-year-old unit is usually worthwhile. If the cabinet is rusted through or the motor is failing, FHC can quote for replacement.
In most cases yes, because the key components, including pumps, float valves, and fan motors, are standardised across brands and most are still available. For older or unusual models, FHC will confirm parts availability before committing to a repair.
