Frequently Asked Questions

Emergency Refrigeration Breakdown FAQ

How fast can a technician arrive for an emergency after-hours breakdown?

Because our central depot is located in Albion Park, our on-call technicians can typically reach sites in Shellharbour, Wollongong, and Kiama within 30 to 60 minutes of your call.

What should we do while waiting for your emergency technician?

Keep all cool room or fridge doors strictly shut to retain existing cold air. Do not switch off the main isolator unless there is an electrical burning smell or smoke. Make note of any controller error codes or unusual sounds.

Can most emergency faults be repaired on the first callout?

Yes. Our emergency vans carry universal fan motors, contactors, capacitors, electronic Dixell/Carel controllers, defrost timers, expansion valves, and common refrigerants (R404A, R134a, R448A/R449A) to get systems cooling on the first visit.

Do you attend breakdowns on weekends and public holidays?

Yes, AllCare operates an active 24/7 breakdown roster 365 days a year across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Nowra, and the Southern Highlands.

What are your emergency call-out fees?

We provide clear, honest pricing before any repairs begin. Call-out fees depend on the time of day (standard business hours vs. after-hours/weekend), and our technician will quote parts and labour transparently on site.
