Narrabundah was built as practical post-war housing and much of that stock is now being renovated hard. FreshDuct services the ducting through both states, and tells you which one you are in.
Renovating? Get the ductwork assessed before the plasterboard goes back up, not after.
Narrabundah was developed through the post-war expansion of the inner south as straightforward, practical housing, a good deal of it originally government-built. That gives it a housing stock with real consistency — modest single-storey homes, simple roof forms, generous blocks — and, because of where it sits, a suburb that has been steadily renovated, extended and in places rebuilt over the past two decades.
The renovation wave is the defining feature for our work. A house mid-renovation or recently finished has had its roof space opened, its walls cut into and plaster dust circulated everywhere for months, and the ducting sitting through all of it collects the lot. Meanwhile the original ducting in unrenovated houses is now old enough that the flexible sections have gone brittle, the joins have loosened and the insulation on the runs has begun to break down and shed into the airstream.
So we start by working out which state your house is in, because the right job differs completely. A recently renovated house usually needs a thorough post-construction clean of the whole path, including the return. An original unrenovated system often needs sections replaced rather than cleaned, and we will say so rather than cleaning ducting that is going to fail anyway. Camera first, photographs throughout.
The things we look at first in a Narrabundah home — based on the local housing, climate and systems people actually run.
Plaster and construction dust is fine enough to pass straight through a return filter and coat the inside of a duct run. It keeps re-emerging into rooms for years unless the whole path, including the return, is cleaned out properly.
Flexible ducting from the original installations here has had decades of heat cycling. It goes brittle, splits at the collars and its inner liner degrades, which means fibres and dust in the airstream. Cleaning does not fix a split run.
ACT Government policy is to transition the Territory off fossil fuel gas by 2045, with new connections already stopped for new development. If original gas ducted heating here is nearing the end of its life, the ductwork condition should inform the decision about what replaces it.

There is no point cleaning a flexible duct run whose liner has already broken down, and there is no point replacing ducting that is simply dirty. The difference is obvious with a camera and invisible without one.
We camera the run, show you the footage and give you a straight recommendation for each section. Sometimes that is a clean, sometimes it is replacing two runs and cleaning the rest, and occasionally it is doing nothing yet.

Almost certainly yes. Construction fines are fine enough to pass a return filter and coat the whole duct interior, and they keep re-emerging into rooms for a long time afterwards. A post-renovation clean should cover the supply runs, the return path and the unit itself, not just the visible grilles.
A camera answers it. If the flexible liner is intact and the run is simply dirty, cleaning works and lasts. If the liner has broken down, the run is split or the collars have separated, cleaning is money spent on something that will keep shedding. We show you the footage for each run and let you decide with the facts.
