Refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, blocked coils and dead PCBs — we find the underlying cause instead of topping up gas and hoping.
A system that cools poorly is rarely just low on refrigerant. Refrigerant doesn't get consumed; if the charge is low, there is a leak, and topping it up without finding that leak wastes your money and vents gas to the atmosphere.
RapidFix Solutions carries electronic leak detection, digital manifolds and clamp meters on every van. We measure superheat and subcooling, test electrical draw against manufacturer specification, and give you real numbers before and after the repair.
What each service covers, the faults we see most often, and what you get out of it.
Wall-mounted split system repairs and deep cleans, from error-code diagnostics through to full indoor unit sanitising.
Common faults
Restored cooling capacity and clean air from the head unit.
Fault-finding across multi-head systems where one head fails while the others run, including branch box and communications diagnostics.
Common faults
Every head performing to spec from a single outdoor unit.
Ducted refrigerated system repairs including zone motors, controllers, plenum leaks and outdoor unit performance.
Common faults
Balanced, quiet whole-home cooling with responsive zoning.
Roof-mounted evaporative cooler servicing — pads, water distribution, pump, float valve, drain and belt or motor faults.
Common faults
Cheap-to-run cooling with fresh air and no stale odours.
Year-round heat pump servicing covering both cooling and heating modes, reversing valve faults and defrost operation.
Common faults
One reliable system that performs in both January and July.
Packaged units, rooftop plant and small VRF systems for offices, retail and hospitality, with planned maintenance agreements.
Common faults
Stable conditions for staff and customers with predictable costs.
Ceiling cassette repairs including condensate pump failures, filter and swing flap faults, and access co-ordination in apartments.
Common faults
Discreet, even cooling without ceiling damage.
Bulkhead and ceiling-concealed fan coil servicing, static pressure checks and duct connection repairs.
Common faults
Quiet operation and full rated airflow restored.
Our technicians train across the major manufacturers and we source genuine or manufacturer-approved parts. If your unit isn't listed, call us — there's a good chance we service it.
Licensed, insured local technicians who quote before they work, carry common parts on the van and explain exactly what failed. We service Melbourne homes and businesses six days a week, with emergency attendance available after hours.
Tell us the brand, symptoms and address. We ask the right questions up front so the correct parts are on the van.
A full electrical, mechanical and performance check — not just the obvious fault. You get a plain-English explanation.
We quote before we work. Nothing is replaced without your say-so, and we use manufacturer-approved components.
Performance tested, readings recorded, work area cleaned, and maintenance advice so the same fault doesn't return.
Whether it's a single bedroom split system or a fully zoned ducted install, we work cleanly, protect flooring and furniture, and leave you with the performance readings from the repair.
Offices, cafes, gyms and retail tenancies rely on us for planned maintenance and rapid breakdown response, including after-hours work so trading hours aren't affected.
Before
Black mould through the barrel fan and a strong musty odour on start-up.
After
Full chemical clean and sanitise, odour gone and measured airflow up significantly.
Before
Two zones not closing, living area over-cooling while bedrooms stayed warm.
After
Zone motors replaced and controller reprogrammed, even temperatures across all zones.
Before
Warm air only, pads dry and water pump seized.
After
Pump and float valve replaced, pads renewed, cool supply air restored at every outlet.

“Our ducted heater dropped out on the coldest week of the year. RapidFix came the next morning, found a failed ignition probe and had the house warm again before lunch.”
“Two split systems serviced and one re-gassed. Clear pricing up front, drop sheets down, and they showed me the pressure readings before and after.”
“Our under-bench fridge failed on a Saturday. They talked us through keeping stock cold, arrived within a few hours and replaced the condenser fan on the spot.”
“Washing machine wouldn't drain. Honest advice — a pump repair instead of pushing us into a new machine. That's why we keep their number.”
Strictly, it shouldn't. A sealed system doesn't consume refrigerant, so low charge means a leak. We locate and repair the leak, pressure test, evacuate and then charge to the manufacturer's stated weight.
Annually for residential systems and every six months for commercial or heavily used equipment. Regular servicing typically pays for itself in reduced running costs and avoided breakdowns.
Yes. A proper deep clean involves removing the covers and barrel fan, chemically treating the coil and drain tray, and flushing the condensate line — not just spraying an aerosol through the vents.
We do. Packaged units, rooftop plant, cassettes and small VRF installations, with scheduled maintenance agreements available.
Send us the details and we'll come back with a time, an approach and honest pricing.
