About MegaChill Air Conditioning & Refrigeration

Cooling a house and keeping a cool room cold look like different trades, but they share the same parts: a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator and refrigerant carrying heat from one place to another. That is why one business can work on a ducted system in a family home and on a walk-in freezer behind a restaurant.

Brisbane asks a lot of both. Long humid summers keep outdoor units running hard, afternoon storms test the electrics, and a fridge in a hot kitchen has to work against the room around it. We come to the property, so most jobs start with looking at the unit where it sits.

How it works

From the first call to the finished job

01

You tell us what it is doing

You do not need to know the part or the model. Say what the unit is doing, when it started, and whether it is a home or a business. For a fridge or freezer, say how warm it is running.

02

We look at the system

The fault is usually in one place: a fan, a drain, a sensor, a seal or the refrigerant circuit. Looking at the indoor and outdoor units, or the cabinet and its condensing unit, shows which.

03

The work is done and tested

Whether it is a repair, a service or a new install, the system is run before we leave to check it is cooling the way it should. The work area is tidied and the old parts go with us.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems do you work on?

Split systems, ducted air conditioning and commercial air conditioning, plus heating. On the refrigeration side we cover commercial fridges and freezers, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, ice machines and household fridges and freezers. We install, repair and service all the major brands.

Should I choose a split system or ducted air conditioning?

A split system cools one room or one open area, and is the usual choice for a bedroom, a lounge or a small shop. Ducted cooling runs air through ceiling vents to many rooms from one unit, so it suits a whole house when the roof space allows it. What is above your ceiling and how many rooms you want cooled usually decide it.

Should I repair my air conditioner or replace it?

It depends on what has failed and how old the unit is. A fan motor, a drain, a sensor or a small leak is usually worth repairing. A failed compressor on an old system can cost more than the unit is worth, and we will say so when that is the case.

Do you do commercial air conditioning and refrigeration?

Yes. Our commercial clients include retail, hospitality, healthcare, schools and industrial sites. That covers rooftop and ceiling units, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, display fridges and ice machines.

Why is my air conditioner leaking water inside?

The most common cause is a blocked condensate drain. A system pulls moisture out of Brisbane's humid air, and when the drain line clogs with grime the water backs up and spills from the indoor unit. A dirty filter or a cracked drain tray can do the same, so it is worth switching the unit off and having it looked at before the water reaches the ceiling.

Why has my air conditioner iced up?

Ice on the indoor unit or the pipes usually means too little air is moving across the coil, or the refrigerant is low. A clogged filter, a dirty coil or a failing fan restricts the air, and a leak lets the charge drop. Switch it off and let it thaw, and have it checked before running it again.

Why is my fridge or freezer running warm?

Common causes are a worn door seal, a condenser coil clogged with dust, a failed evaporator fan, a defrost fault or a problem in the refrigerant circuit. A cabinet pushed too close to a wall or sitting in a hot kitchen also struggles to hold temperature. If you can tell us how warm it is and what you can hear, we can say which is likely.

What happens to my stock if a freezer fails?

Keep the door shut so the cold stays in, and move what you can to another working fridge or freezer. Whether food is still safe depends on how warm it got and for how long, which we cannot judge from here. Call us so the fault can be found while the stock is still cold.

How often should an air conditioner or fridge be serviced?

Brisbane runs cooling for much of the year, so a system works longer than it would in a milder city. A regular visit to clean filters and coils, clear the drain and check pressures and airflow catches wear before it stops the system. We offer scheduled maintenance for businesses, so the visits come at set intervals.

Which areas do you cover?

Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs. The Service Areas page lists Rochedale, Springwood, Redland Bay, South Brisbane, Sunnybank, Brisbane CBD, Eight Mile Plains, Underwood, Logan, Capalaba, Mount Gravatt and Ipswich. That list is where the work goes most often, not a boundary, so ask if your suburb is not on it.

What should I have ready when I call?

The type of system, the brand if you can see it on the label, and what it is doing. Note when it started, whether it shows an error code, and whether the switch at the board has tripped. For a fridge or freezer, a temperature reading and whether there is stock inside help.

Do you repair ice machines and cool rooms?

Yes. Ice machines, cool rooms and walk-in freezers are part of the commercial refrigeration work. Common faults include a machine that stops making ice, a room that will not hold temperature, a door seal that has failed and a fan or defrost fault.
