“Booked a whole-house duct clean before winter. The before-and-after photos were shocking — years of dust gone and the heating smells fresh again.”

Essendon’s interwar brick homes sit under flight paths and busy roads that push fine dust into the ductwork, and most run floor-ducted heating plus a cooler. FreshDuct cleans the whole system — ducts, outlets, return-air and vents — with before-and-after photos.
Grey film on the vents returning within weeks of dusting? That is duct-borne dust.
Essendon is a settled inner north-western suburb of interwar brick homes, Californian bungalows and Art Deco flats, sitting near the airport and threaded by busy arterials. Most homes run ducted gas heating with floor outlets, and many have added a ducted evaporative or refrigerated cooler.
The location brings a lot of fine airborne dust — road grime and flight-path particulate — and it settles into the return-air and supply ducts, then recirculates through the home. Cleaning the whole ducted system, including the return-air and filter that pull that dust in, makes a noticeable difference to how quickly the house dusts up again.
The things we look at first in Essendon homes and businesses — based on the local building stock, duct types and conditions.
Essendon’s busy roads and airport approach push fine dust into the ducts. We clean the whole system and the return-air filter that keeps drawing it in.
Front-of-house floor grilles near busy roads collect the most grit. We lift and clean every outlet so they are not funnelling road dust straight back inside.
Most Essendon homes run ducted heating and a cooler on shared or parallel ducting. We clean both in a single visit rather than leaving half the system dirty.
