FreshDuct services Unley — the sandstone villas and returned-verandah bungalows along Unley Road, King William Road and through Goodwood, where old houses run modern systems.
Ducted heating that smells on the first cold night? That is roof-space dust, and it is fixable.
Unley is Adelaide’s classic inner-south address: wide streets of sandstone-fronted villas with return verandahs, tuckpointed brick bungalows, and rows of symmetrical cottages running off Unley Road, King William Road and through Goodwood and Hyde Park. The houses are generous, the ceilings are high, and the roof spaces above them are large, hot and dusty.
That geometry is what shapes the HVAC work here. High ceilings and big rooms mean more air has to move, and long duct runs across a wide roof space mean more chance for flex to sag, kink over a ceiling joist, or pull loose at a join. Return-air grilles fitted decades ago are frequently undersized for the volume they now serve. And because the roof space runs so hot in an Adelaide summer, uninsulated or poorly insulated ducting loses a meaningful chunk of what the unit produces before it ever reaches a room.
FreshDuct works through the whole path rather than the unit alone. We camera the runs, clean the ducts, returns and vents, reseal and replace failed sections, and service the evaporative or refrigerated unit at the same visit. You see the before and after photos, and you get a straight explanation of which room is underperforming and why.
The things we look at first in a Unley home — based on the local housing, climate and systems people actually run.
Unley villas have wide roof cavities and long duct runs. Sag, kinks and pulled joins are common at the far end of the run — which is exactly why the back bedroom never gets warm.
Big rooms with high ceilings need more airflow than the same-size room in a modern home. Undersized returns and dirty ducting show up here faster than anywhere else.
An uninsulated duct crossing a 60-degree Adelaide roof space in January gives away a lot of cooling before it reaches the vent. We check duct insulation condition as part of every service.

It is the most common call we take in Unley: one or two rooms that never quite get there while the rest of the house is fine. The unit is usually healthy. The problem is at the end of a long run — a sagging or kinked duct, a join that has separated, or insulation that has degraded.
We camera the run, show you the footage, and repair the specific sections at fault. That is almost always cheaper and more effective than upsizing a unit that was never the problem.

In these homes it is almost always the duct rather than the unit. Long runs across a big roof space sag, kink over joists or pull apart at a join, and the room at the end of the run suffers first. We camera the run and show you exactly where it is failing before quoting a repair.
Depends what the camera shows. Sound, well-insulated ducting cleans up beautifully and does not need replacing. Ducting that is torn, crushed or has degraded insulation is throwing away performance every day and is better replaced in those sections. We quote both honestly.
