Chadstone’s post-war homes and newer townhouses run split systems hard through south-east summers. FreshDuct cleans coils, fans and condensers and clears mould, with photo proof.
Older split cooling poorly? Years of dust and mould build up — a deep clean restores it.
Chadstone, built around the famous shopping centre in Melbourne’s south-east, is a suburb of solid post-war brick homes on established streets, with a growing layer of townhouses and apartments filling in around the retail precinct. Split systems do most of the cooling here, and in the older homes many have been running for years, often as an add-on to the original house.
The typical Chadstone issue is accumulated neglect rather than any single fault. A split that has cooled the same living room or bedroom through a decade of south-east summers builds up caked dust on the indoor coil and barrel fan, and grows black mould in the damp parts of the head &mdash which is where the musty smell on start-up comes from. The outdoor condenser slowly clogs with garden and street debris, losing the airflow it needs to shed heat.
FreshDuct cleans Chadstone split systems to undo that build-up. We deep-clean and sanitise the indoor head to clear mould, wash the outdoor condenser, clear the drain, and finish with before and after photos.
The things we look at first on a Chadstone split system — based on the local homes and conditions.
Long-serving Chadstone splits build thick dust on the coil and fan, cutting cooling gradually. A deep clean restores the airflow and cooling the unit has quietly lost over the years.
Long, humid summer runs grow mould on the coil and drum, bringing the musty smell when the unit starts. We deep-clean and sanitise to clear it at the source rather than mask it.
Newer Chadstone townhouses often run splits in several rooms. We clean each head and the condensers so the whole home is fresh, not just the one you first noticed.

Most Chadstone splits do not break — they fade. A little more caked dust and mould each summer, a little less airflow, until the living-room unit runs longer for less cool and smells musty when it kicks on.
We strip and deep-clean the indoor head, sanitise to clear the mould, and wash the outdoor condenser, restoring both cooling and clean air. Owners are often surprised how much better a tired unit performs afterwards.

Usually, yes. Weak cooling and a musty smell are almost always caked dust and mould on the coil and fan plus a clogged condenser, not a fault. A thorough deep clean and sanitise normally restores the cooling and clears the smell, saving the cost of replacing the unit.
Yes. Newer Chadstone townhouses often run a split in each of several rooms. We deep-clean and sanitise each indoor head and clean the outdoor condensers, so the whole home cools well and stays fresh rather than just one room.
