Calibration Services
Precision matters, especially in North Queensland’s heat. We provide professional calibration for air conditioning and refrigeration systems, ensuring your units are running at optimal efficiency and delivering accurate temperature control. Whether it’s a coldroom storing perishable goods or a split system in your home, proper calibration improves performance, reduces energy waste, and helps extend the life of your system.
Our team uses specialist tools to test, adjust and fine-tune temperature settings, airflow, and pressure. Ideal for commercial and high-demand environments where reliability is critical.
How do I know if I need to replace or repair my fridge?
Signs your refrigeration system may need replacing include frequent temperature fluctuations, rising energy bills, persistent ice build-up, and difficulty maintaining cooling even after servicing. If you’re experiencing frequent breakdowns or your unit is more than 10–15 years old, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade rather than continue with repairs. Repairs can solve minor issues, but when key components like compressors or insulation panels fail, a full replacement may be the better long-term solution.
What industries require custom refrigeration design?
Industries such as agriculture, aquaculture, food processing, hospitality, medical storage and freight logistics often require custom-built coldrooms. These businesses usually need precise temperature control, specific shelving configurations, hygienic wall and floor finishes, and door systems that can accommodate forklifts or heavy trolleys. Custom coldrooms are essential when off-the-shelf solutions don’t meet industry standards or storage demands.
How long does it take to build a commercial coldroom?
Coldroom build times vary depending on size, location and complexity. A standard walk-in coldroom may take a few days to construct, while larger or more specialised builds could take one to three weeks. The process typically involves site preparation, panel installation, sealing, refrigeration system setup and final calibration. Pre-planning and clear communication help minimise downtime during installation.
What are the benefits of regular refrigeration servicing?
Routine servicing helps catch early signs of wear, reduces energy consumption, extends system lifespan and ensures food safety compliance. Regular checks include inspecting refrigerant levels, cleaning condenser coils, checking seals and drainage, and verifying temperature accuracy. Scheduled maintenance also reduces the likelihood of emergency breakdowns, saving time and money in the long run.
