Your Bonaire system faces intense stress during summer’s dry heat periods. Here are the most frequent issues our technical specialists encounter:
The most common culprit? Clogged honeycomb cooling pads from high spring and summer pollen season. When tree pollen and native grass particles accumulate, they restrict airflow and water saturation, turning your evaporative cooler into an expensive fan.
Our rapid-response service for Bonaire evaporative cooling repairs in Melbourne can make certain your filter pads are properly cleaned or replaced before the weekend heatwave hits. We carry genuine Bonaire parts for common models, enabling a first-visit fix.
When your controller goes blank and nothing happens, electrical problems are often the culprit – capacitors fail, wiring degrades, or circuit boards short out after years of exposure to roof heat. The relentless strain of a multi-day heatwave can also cause the fan motor or water pump to overheat and burn out. This typically occurs in units that are 20+ years old, common in Melbourne’s middle-ring suburbs.
Mineral and scale build-up from hard water supply can cause your water pump to strain, creating grinding noises. Worn or damaged fan blades can also cause rattling or scraping sounds, especially in older units where components have become loose or warped. What’s more, stagnant water left in the system can lead to mould growth, producing musty odours through your vents and affecting your indoor air quality.
Water trickling onto your ceiling or pooling around your unit usually points to a problem with the water distribution system. Common causes include blocked drain pans, cracked reservoirs, or overflow from saturated pads. Left unchecked, leaks can cause roof damage and mould growth in your ceiling cavity.
If your Bonaire system won’t respond to commands, cycles on and off randomly, or displays error codes, the issue often lies with the controller, wiring connections, or receiver unit. These faults tend to worsen over summer when heat stresses the electronics on your roof.
As VBA licensed technicians, we make certain every repair is fully compliant with Australian Standards, protecting your home and insurance. This is a critical check for any work done on your roof.
