Cottesloe faces the Indian Ocean with almost nothing in between, and that view comes at a cost to every outdoor unit in the suburb. FreshDuct cleans, services and protects air conditioning built for a beachfront street.
White powdery residue on the condenser fins? That is salt, and it is throttling your cooling.
Cottesloe is one of the most directly exposed residential suburbs in the metropolitan area. Marine Parade and the streets immediately behind it look west over open water towards Rottnest with no landform, no scrub belt and no buffer of any kind between the houses and the swell. The housing has changed enormously — interwar bungalows and limestone-walled homes remain, but a great many have been rebuilt or heavily extended into large, highly glazed houses with substantial cooling loads.
The combination is demanding on equipment. West-facing glass drives cooling demand hard through summer afternoons; meanwhile the onshore wind is depositing salt aerosol on the outdoor half of that same system every hour of every day. Aluminium fins corrode and close up, casings and fixings rust, and roof-mounted evaporative units sit fully exposed to it. Add wind-driven beach sand into the same fin pack and you have a coil that cannot breathe on the hottest afternoons of the year.
FreshDuct services Cottesloe systems with that reality in front of us. We clean and inspect condenser coils, fin packs, mounts and roof penetrations rather than only the indoor side, deep-clean split-system barrels and drain trays, and clean ducts, returns and vents through the house. Everything gets photographed, so you can see exactly how much capacity the salt had taken.
The things we look at first in a Cottesloe home — based on the local housing, climate and systems people actually run.
With open water to the west there is nothing to slow the salt. Outdoor coils, fixings and unit casings corrode faster here than a few kilometres inland, and cleaning intervals need to reflect that rather than the manual.
Evaporative units and rooftop plant on a Cottesloe roof take wind, salt and sun with no shelter at all. We inspect the unit, its water path and the roof penetration together, because a leak here lands on a ceiling below.
Beach sand gets carried into fin packs, filters and returns by the same wind that brings the salt. It compounds the corrosion problem and shortens the useful interval between services considerably.

A Cottesloe homeowner usually calls because the house is not cooling on the days it matters. The indoor unit is often fine. The problem is a salted, sanded fin pack outside that cannot shed heat, so the system runs continuously and still loses ground against the afternoon sun.
We clean and check both halves of the system on the same visit and show you the coil before and after, so the improvement is something you can see rather than something we assert.
FreshDuct services Cottesloe 7 days a week — Marine Parade and the beachfront streets, the limestone-walled homes around Napoleon Street, and the quieter streets running back towards the railway.
We work this coastal strip constantly, with Claremont and Nedlands immediately inland, Fremantle just south and Scarborough up the coast, so a Cottesloe booking usually fits into an existing run.

More often than an inland suburb needs. Salt exposure this close to open water fouls and corrodes the outdoor coil continuously rather than seasonally, so an annual clean and check going into summer is the sensible minimum, and beachfront streets often justify more.
It depends how far it has gone. Salt fouling and light surface corrosion clean up well and usually restore most of the lost capacity. Where the fin pack has physically deteriorated and the aluminium is failing, cleaning will not bring it back — and we will tell you that honestly rather than sell you a clean that cannot work.
