Dairy refrigeration
Dairy and milk vat refrigeration around Echuca
Milk vat and dairy refrigeration serviced and repaired for farms across northern Victoria and southern New South Wales.
Keeping milk cold on farm
Milk has to be cooled quickly and held cold until the tanker arrives. We keep the refrigeration behind your vat doing exactly that.
Milk vat refrigeration
Condensing units and refrigeration systems on milk vats serviced, fault-found and repaired, so milk is cooled properly every milking.
Breakdown repairs
A vat that is not cooling cannot wait for next week. Tell us what it is doing and we will tell you straight when we can be there.
Scheduled servicing
Servicing planned around your calendar, ideally before spring when the vat is working its hardest.
Upgrades and replacement
When an old refrigeration unit is costing more in repairs and power than it is worth, we talk you through the options honestly, including when it is worth keeping.
Fault-finding, not guesswork
On a dairy, a refrigeration problem is a milk quality problem. Cody has around 15 years across residential, commercial and industrial refrigeration, and he finds the actual cause before replacing anything.
We are based in Moama and work on farms around Echuca, Rochester, Tongala, Kyabram and Deniliquin, so we know the district and the conditions your equipment runs in.
How we work with farms
- Work planned around milking times where possible
- A clear explanation of the fault and the fix before work starts
- Repair recommended over replacement whenever a repair will do
- Refrigerant handled under our ARCtick authorisation AU066776
- You deal with Cody and Maddy directly, every time
Signs your vat needs a look
Small changes in how the vat cools are usually the first sign of a bigger problem. Catching them early costs far less than a breakdown at the height of the season.
If something is not right, send a photo of the unit and any error code to service@irelandrefrigeration.com.au. It helps us bring the right parts the first time.
Call us if you notice
- Milk taking longer than usual to cool
- The refrigeration unit running longer than it used to
- Alarms or error codes on the vat controller
- Ice or heavy frosting on the refrigeration lines
- New noise or vibration from the condensing unit
“I highly recommend Cody and Maddy. Communication by phone, text and email was efficient, transparent and thorough, and the job was cost effective.”

Dairy refrigeration questions
Do you service milk vats around Echuca and Kyabram?
Yes. We service and repair dairy refrigeration and milk vat systems for farms around Echuca, Moama, Rochester, Tongala, Kyabram and Deniliquin, and further afield depending on the job.
What should I do if my milk vat stops cooling?
Call us on 0466 563 688 straight away and tell us what the vat is doing, including any alarm or error code on the controller. A photo of the display helps. We will tell you honestly when we can get there.
When is the best time to service dairy refrigeration?
Before your busiest period. For most farms that means servicing ahead of spring, so the system is in good order before the vat is working its hardest.
Is it worth repairing an old refrigeration unit?
Often, yes. We look at the condition of the unit, how often it has failed and what it costs to run, then tell you straight whether repair or replacement makes more sense. We do not replace equipment that does not need replacing.
Are you licensed to work on dairy refrigeration?
Yes. We hold ARCtick refrigerant handling authorisation AU066776 and NSW electrical licence 487485C, are fully insured, and complete electrical work to Australian standards with certificates of compliance issued where required.
