Air Duct Cleaning in Craigieburn
Talk to the office now · 7 days a week
Craigieburn homes are newer, but their ducts still fill up — with building dust from the estates still going up nearby, pet hair and everyday grit. We clean every ceiling outlet, the ductwork in the roof space, the return air and the filter.
Newer homes, busy ducts
Craigieburn grew fast. Paddocks in the City of Hume turned into street after street of family homes over the last twenty-odd years, and the building hasn’t stopped — estates keep spreading north and west towards Mickleham and Kalkallo.
Most Craigieburn homes are single- or double-storey project homes built on a concrete slab, so the heating and cooling ducts run through the roof space and blow down through ceiling outlets. Because the homes feel new, owners often assume the ducts are clean. A system that has run every winter for ten or fifteen years has moved a lot of air — and construction dust from nearby building sites is fine enough to get into everything.

How Craigieburn homes are usually ducted
Single-storey slab homes
Ducted gas heating with ceiling outlets and one large return-air grille in the hallway. Often a ducted cooler or refrigerated system shares the roof space.
Double-storey homes
Two zones and longer duct runs to the upstairs bedrooms. We clean both levels and check that each zone’s outlets are actually delivering air.
Builder-grade flexible ducting
Flexible ducts that can sag, kink or come loose in the roof over the years. If we find one, we photograph it and explain your options.
Three things we see a lot in Craigieburn
Construction dust next door
With new homes still going up nearby, fine building dust gets in through open windows and the cooling intake. If there’s been a big build on your street, that’s a good trigger for a clean.
Kids, pets and busy households
Family homes run the heating hard all winter. Pet hair and everyday dust pile up on the return-air filter and in the ducts faster than in a quieter home.
The first clean, at ten-plus years
Many Craigieburn systems are now ten to fifteen years old and have never been cleaned. That first clean is usually the one that makes the biggest difference.
Signs a Craigieburn home is due for a duct clean
- Dust building up around ceiling outlets Dark marks on the ceiling around an outlet are dust being pushed out of the duct behind it.
- A clogged return-air filter in the hallway If the big grille in the hallway is grey with fluff, the ducts behind it usually are too.
- Upstairs bedrooms that never warm up Long runs to the second storey are where sagging or blocked ducts show up first.
- Dust after building work nearby If a neighbour’s build or your own renovation threw dust around, some of it is in the system.

Duct repair & replacement in Craigieburn
Craigieburn homes mostly use flexible ducting in the roof space. Over ten or fifteen years it can sag, kink where it bends around a truss, or slip off an outlet boot — and a bedroom that stays cold while the rest of the house is warm is often the first sign.
While we clean, we check the runs we can reach and photograph anything that’s collapsed or come loose. Small fixes are often quick; if a section needs replacing, you get a clear quote first, and we only recommend it when it’s genuinely needed.
What we check and fix
- Crushed, torn or disconnected ducts found and photographed
- Repairs quoted before any work
- Whole runs replaced only when they’re past saving
- Outlet boots, grilles and return-air fittings refitted or replaced
Ducted heating cleaning before a Craigieburn winter
Winter nights in Melbourne’s north get cold, and most Craigieburn homes run ducted gas heating hard from May to September. Ducts that have been sitting all summer push stored dust through the house the moment the heater kicks on.
A clean before winter clears the ducts, outlets and return-air filter so the heater isn’t working against a clogged system. Need the heater serviced too? We can book both together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does duct cleaning cost for a Craigieburn home?
It depends on how many outlets you have, whether it’s one or two storeys, and the number of systems. You get a free, firm quote upfront — no call-out fee, and you pay after the job.
One bedroom never gets warm. Is that the ducts?
Often. In roof-space ducting a run can sag, kink or come off its outlet. We check the airflow to each room while we clean and photograph any duct that has collapsed or come loose, then quote the fix.
My Craigieburn home is only about ten years old. Do the ducts really need cleaning?
Usually, yes. Age of the house matters less than how much air the system has moved. Ten winters of heating, building dust from nearby estates and pet hair all end up in the ducts and on the return-air filter. We photograph before and after so you can see what came out.
There’s been building work on our street. When should we clean the ducts?
After the heavy work finishes. Construction dust is very fine and keeps settling while building is underway, so cleaning once the dusty stage is over gives you the longest benefit.
Do you clean double-storey homes with two heating zones?
Yes. We clean the ducts and outlets for both zones, plus the return air, and check each outlet is getting airflow — long runs to upstairs bedrooms are where blockages tend to show up.
Do you clean evaporative and refrigerated cooling ducts too?
Yes. We clean ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling and refrigerated or reverse-cycle systems — the outlets, ductwork and return air — and quote each system upfront.
How long does it take?
Typically 1.5 to 2 hours for a home, depending on the number of outlets and how much build-up there is.
When do I pay?
After the job is done and you’ve seen the before & after photos. Cash, card or bank transfer.
What if I’m not happy?
Tell us. If something isn’t right, we come back and re-clean — that’s our 100% satisfaction commitment.
Are your technicians insured and police-checked?
Yes. Police-checked technicians, NDIS Worker Screening checks, and full public liability and business insurance.
