Adelaide Heatwaves Are Serious. So Is Our Response.
Adelaide gets some of the most intense heatwaves in the country, with runs of consecutive days above 40 that do not ease overnight. City apartments with west-facing glass and bluestone terraces with minimal insulation both suffer. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by a person who takes the details and dispatches a licensed technician.

What Counts as an Air Conditioning Emergency?
Anything unsafe or destructive. An electrical burning smell from the indoor unit, a system tripping the switchboard, a carbon monoxide alarm, a suspected gas or refrigerant leak, or water escaping into a ceiling. In a bluestone or heritage building, water damage to plaster and cornices is expensive to put right, so shut it down rather than waiting.
Complete failure during an Adelaide heatwave is a health matter. Consecutive days above 40 with warm nights in between put real strain on infants, older residents and anyone with a cardiac or respiratory condition. South Australia issues heat warnings for exactly this reason. Tell us who is in the property when you call and we will prioritise the booking.
Some faults can wait a day or two. A rattle you have heard for weeks, airflow that has gradually reduced, one room that never comes up to temperature, a controller that has lost its schedule. Book them ahead of summer rather than during it, since a marginal system fails on the worst day of the year. If you cannot judge it, describe it and we will be honest.
If you can smell gas, or a carbon monoxide alarm has sounded, or anyone in the property has a headache, nausea or unusual drowsiness that eases when they go outside: turn the appliance off, open windows and doors, and get everyone into fresh air. Call 000 if anyone is unwell, and your state gas emergency line for a suspected gas leak. Do not use the appliance again until it has been checked. Then call us on 1300 730 896.

The system runs all day during a heatwave and never reaches the set temperature. Is it broken?
Not always. Every system has a design limit, and on a 44 degree day a unit that is undersized, dirty or low on refrigerant will run flat out and still lose ground. If it is icing up, short cycling, or the outdoor fan has stopped, switch it off and call, because running it in that state can damage the compressor.
What should I do while waiting for the technician?
Turn it off at the wall if it is smoking, sparking or leaking, and leave a tripped safety switch alone. Close blinds and curtains before mid morning rather than after, shut off unused rooms, run fans, and keep fluids up. During a heat warning, check on older neighbours and relatives as well. Have brand, model and any error code ready.
How fast can you get to a CBD or inner suburb address?
Our booking line runs 24 hours a day and we have technicians across metropolitan Adelaide, so same day or first thing next morning is normal. During a declared heatwave the entire metro area calls at once, so we tell you the honest earliest slot rather than a time we cannot hold.
Should I use evaporative or refrigerated cooling in Adelaide?
Adelaide’s dry heat suits evaporative cooling well and it is cheap to run, but it needs windows open and struggles on the humid days that come with a change. Refrigerated cooling works in any conditions and heats in winter. Many homes here run both. We will give you a straight comparison for your property rather than pushing the pricier option.
Is an emergency callout charged at a premium?
You pay a fixed call-out fee covering travel, diagnosis and a full assessment of the fault, quoted before the booking is confirmed. No hidden charges. Parts and additional work are quoted in writing and approved by you first.
Which brands do you repair?
Bonaire, Braemar, Brivis, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, ActronAir, Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Kelvinator and Rinnai among others. We are authorised service agents for the major manufacturers, so warranty repairs stay valid.
