Evaporative Cooler Service, Cleaning and Maintenance

There is no single interval for every portable and ducted model. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and arrange professional inspection at the interval recommended for the installed system.

A qualified service may inspect and clean water paths, pads, pump, fan and drainage, depending on the system. Ask what is included and confirm it matches your model and warranty requirements.

Routine cleaning may be user-maintainable if the manual says so. Disconnect power first, use only approved cleaning steps and avoid opening electrical or sealed components.

Follow the manual; Western Australian health guidance says portable evaporative units should be drained and cleaned during hot weather and left dry when not in use.
