Evaporative Cooling Safety Check & Test

It's Time?

Is your evap air summer ready, and performing to it’s standards?

In Adelaide’s extreme summer heat, roof space temperatures can regularly exceed 50°C. This intense heat puts immense pressure on your cooling system, causing joining tape to deteriorate and ducting to become brittle or split. Without regular maintenance, minor issues like blocked pads or faulty valves can lead to expensive water damage or even fire hazards.

At Sharpe Trade Services, our accredited air conditioning technicians provide a comprehensive 20+ Point Safety Service to ensure your system is efficient, hygienic, and safe for the season ahead.

You should book your service if:

• Your Water Bill Has Gone Up Recently: This often indicates a faulty float valve, water feeder, or a continuous leak.
• The System is Not Cooling Enough: Often caused by collapsed filter pads or a drop in airflow.
• You Smell Musty Odours: This can indicate bacteria, algae, or fungi growth within the filter pads or reservoir.
• You Haven’t Serviced Since Last Year: 75% of services reveal hidden water distribution problems or leaks that can cause thousands in structural damage.
• You See Damp Spots on Ceilings: This is a critical sign of a leaking unit or failed drainage.

Seasonal Care: Opening & Closing Services

To significantly increase the lifespan of your unit and enhance its effectiveness, we recommend two key seasonal services:

• Evap Opening Service: Conducted mid-spring as the weather heats up. This ensures your unit is clean and fully operational before the first major heatwave arrives.
• Evap Close Service: Conducted closer to winter. This seals the system against windy and wet weather, preventing heat loss from your home and protecting the unit’s internal components.

Our Comprehensive 20+ Point Safety Service

A Sharpe Evaporative Air Conditioning Specialist will ensure the operating efficiency, reliability, and safety of your system. Our service includes:

• Visual, Electrical & Water Flow Testing: Checking fan motors and pumps to ensure they don’t overheat or seize.
• Filter, Valve & Reservoir Inspection: Full cleaning and testing of water feeders and drains.
• Moving Parts Check: Lubrication and operational testing of all mechanical components.
• Ducting & Outlet Inspection: Checking for splits, debris, or vermin damage in the roof space.
• Easy-Dose Sanitisation: A sanitise cartridge to inhibit the growth of airborne bacteria, algae, and legionella.
• Detailed Written Report: Provided upon completion, servicing all major brands.

Technical Secret: For optimal performance, you should replace your evap filter pads every 3 years. If your unit is over 10 years old, consider upgrading to a modern system for significant improvements in water and energy efficiency.
