Split system air conditioners are the everyday essential of most Gold Coast homes, but the coastal environment can be brutal on them. Whether it’s the salt air corroding the outdoor unit or a gecko short circuiting the indoor boards, split systems face unique challenges here.
If your unit has stopped heating, isn’t responding to the remote, or is making a loud rattling noise, it’s a sign that an internal component is struggling.
At All Purpose, we specialise in diagnosing and fixing all major brands of split systems. We don’t just look at the obvious; we check the fan motors, capacitors, and refrigerant lines to ensure the repair lasts. Living near the beach means your outdoor condenser takes a beating from the salt spray, which can lead to gas leaks and rusted coils.
Our qualified technicians know exactly what to look for, providing honest advice on whether a repair is the best move or if the unit has simply reached the end of its life.
When a ducted air conditioning system fails, it’s a whole-house emergency. Because these systems are complex, they require a technician who understands the balance between the outdoor unit, the indoor fan, and the network of zones in your ceiling.
Whether your wall controller is flashing an error code or you’ve noticed a sudden drop in airflow, we have the expertise to get your system back to its best.
Common headaches like faulty zone motors, where one room is an icebox while another is sweltering, require a specialist who is willing to get into the roof space to find the real issue.
From MyPlace and Advantage Air controllers to major brands like Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric, we provide straight up assessments and reliable repairs. We’ll check your electricals, refrigerant levels, and dampers to ensure your whole-home comfort is restored properly.
Living on the coast means your aircon works harder and faces harsher elements than systems inland. If your unit is acting up, it usually falls into one of these common categories:
⚠️ Blowing Warm Air: Often caused by low refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor, or a failed capacitor. This is the most common reason for a warm house on a hot day.
⚠️ Water Leaking Indoors: Usually a sign of a blocked drain line or a failed condensate pump (especially in cassette systems). In our high humidity, these blockages happen fast.
⚠️ Gecko-Related Electrical Failure: A classic Queensland problem. Geckos love the warmth of the indoor boards, often causing a short circuit that stops the unit from turning on entirely.
⚠️ Sensor Glitches & Remote Issues: If the unit won’t respond to the remote or the temperature is "hunting" up and down, it’s often a faulty sensor or a communication error between the boards.
⚠️ Noisy Outdoor Units: Grinding or rattling noises are usually a sign that the fan motor is failing or that the salt air has caused significant corrosion to the internal brackets and mounts.
⚠️ Zone Control Faults: For ducted systems, if one room is freezing while another is warm, the zone motor or damper is likely stuck or has lost power.

Sometimes it’s not a total breakdown that tells you there's a problem, but the small things that just don't feel right. If your system is showing any of the following signs, it’s best to get it looked at before a minor fault turns into an expensive replacement:
🚨 Sky High Energy Bills: If your power bill has spiked but your usage hasn't changed, your unit is likely struggling to reach temperature due to a gas leak or a failing compressor.
🚨 Strange Smells: A musty, "sock-like" smell usually points to bacteria build up on the coils, while a sharp, acrid smell can indicate electrical components are overheating.
🚨 Constant Cycling: If the unit is turning on and off every few minutes (short cycling), it’s a sign the thermostat is faulty or the system is overheating.
🚨 Poor Airflow: If you can hear the fan running but can barely feel a breeze coming from the vents, you likely have a blocked filter, a failing indoor motor, or a crushed duct in the ceiling.
🚨 The Outdoor Unit Hum: If your outdoor unit is vibrating excessively or making a loud buzzing sound, the salt air may have finally got to the fan motor or the capacitor.
