Brisbane Humidity Does Not Take the Night Off
In a Brisbane summer the humidity does not drop much after dark, and a city apartment with sealed glazing becomes unbearable within a couple of hours of the cooling stopping. Storm season adds power surges that take out control boards and compressors without warning. Our line is staffed 24 hours a day by a person who takes the details, sorts building access and dispatches a licensed technician.

What Counts as an Air Conditioning Emergency in the City?
Anything unsafe or destructive. An electrical burning smell from the indoor unit, a system tripping the switchboard, a suspected refrigerant leak in a sealed apartment, or water escaping into a ceiling. In a tower a blocked condensate drain can run through several apartments before anyone notices, which becomes a body corporate problem fast.
Total failure in genuine heat is urgent too. Brisbane humidity means the indoor temperature barely falls overnight, and a high-rise apartment with limited window opening has no fallback. If there is a newborn, an older resident, or anyone with a cardiac or respiratory condition in the apartment, tell us when you call and the booking moves up.
Some faults will wait a day or two. A rattle in the outdoor unit, airflow that has weakened over a season, one room that never quite gets there, a controller that has lost pairing. Worth booking, because in a subtropical climate a struggling system fails during the worst of it rather than the mild part, but you are not in trouble tonight. Describe it and we will tell you honestly.
If you can smell gas, a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, or anyone has a headache, nausea or unusual drowsiness that eases outdoors: turn the appliance off, open windows and doors, and get everyone into fresh air and out of the building if needed. Call 000 if anyone is unwell, and your state gas emergency line for a suspected leak. Do not use the appliance again until it has been checked. Then call us on 1300 730 896.

My unit stopped after a storm. Is that likely to be surge damage?
Very likely. Brisbane storm season takes out control boards, capacitors and occasionally compressors through power surges and brownouts. If the unit is completely dead, check whether the isolator or breaker has tripped first, but do not keep resetting it. Mention the storm when you call so the technician brings likely replacement boards.
What should I do while I wait?
If the unit is smoking, sparking or leaking, switch it off at the wall. Do not repeatedly reset a tripped breaker. Contain any water and check the apartment below if a leak has been running. Keep blinds closed, run fans to move air, and stay hydrated. Have the brand, model and any controller error code ready for the technician.
Can you get into my building after hours?
Usually yes. Tell us the building name, whether there is a concierge, and whether the service lift needs booking for trades. We will contact your body corporate or building manager directly if that speeds things up. If a lift cannot be released until morning we will tell you rather than send someone who gets turned away.
Why is my apartment humid even when the aircon is running?
Because a system that is oversized cools the air quickly and switches off before it removes much moisture. You get a cold, clammy room. It can also mean a dirty coil or low refrigerant. It is worth diagnosing properly, since running a system that never dehumidifies encourages mould in a Brisbane summer.
Is emergency service 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. There are no hidden charges. Parts and any additional work are quoted in writing and approved by you first.
Which brands do you repair?
Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, ActronAir, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Hitachi, Rinnai and Kelvinator among others. We are authorised service agents for the major manufacturers, so warranty work is handled correctly.

"Extremely helpful staff!!! My reverse cycle split system stopped working suddenly (of course when I needed it most), and the staff talked me through the process. They sent a technician the very next day. He was friendly, efficient, had extra parts on hand to fix the problem there and then, and didn't even leave a mess. Great value for money!"

"Joshua is an absolute credit to the company. He patiently explained the options and the fees upfront. The technician arrived early, diagnosed the problem, and informed me the repair was covered under warranty and that he wasn't an approved Panasonic repairer. His honesty saved me a significant amount of money in a voided warranty."

"I experienced a wonderful professional service from the company and the two technicians that installed my new system within several days. The time lag was mostly as a result of organising finances and reconciling details with my insurance company. I would not hesitate in recommending Quick Air to anyone."

"I couldn't choose quality, value, professionalism, responsiveness, or punctuality as my most liked thing about Quick Air. I cannot give a negative answer on any of them as all my expectations were met. The technician was most knowledgeable and the patience and guidance given to his apprentice was outstanding. I will recommend this company to my friends without any hesitation."
