Air Duct Cleaning in Melton
Talk to the office now · 7 days a week
Hot, dusty western summers and cold winter nights mean Melton ducts work all year. We clean the outlets, ductwork, return air and filter on evaporative, refrigerated and gas ducted systems, with before and after photos.
Western summers fill the ducts
Melton grew as a satellite town on Melbourne’s western edge, and the City of Melton is now one of the fastest-growing areas in the state. Established streets in Melton, Melton West and Kurunjang sit alongside new estates at Cobblebank and toward Toolern Vale.
The west is hot and windy in summer, so a lot of Melton homes run evaporative cooling through ceiling ducts, with ducted gas heating for the winter. That’s a system working in both seasons, pulling in outside air and dust for months at a time.
Evaporative coolers need their own care too. The ducts carry whatever the cooler pads let through, so a cooler that hasn’t been serviced in a while sends more dust and smell into the house. We clean the ducts and outlets, and if the cooler itself looks overdue, we can book an evaporative service at the same time.

How Melton homes are usually ducted
Evaporative cooling
A roof-mounted cooler pushing outside air through ceiling ducts. It brings in dust and pollen with every hot day.
Ducted gas heating
Usually a separate system with its own ceiling or floor outlets and a return-air grille in the hallway.
New estate homes
Ceiling outlets and flexible ducting in the roof, often with refrigerated cooling instead of evaporative.
Three things we see a lot in Melton
Hot, dusty north winds
Summer winds carry dust from open land and building sites. Evaporative systems draw it straight into the ducts.
Two systems, one roof
Many homes have both an evaporative cooler and a gas heater. Both sets of ducts need cleaning, and they’re often missed.
Construction across the estates
New homes going up around Cobblebank and Brookfield add fine building dust to the air for months.
Signs a Melton home is due for a duct clean
- Dust blowing from the cooling outlets If the first hot day of the year sends dust through the house, the evaporative ducts are carrying it.
- A damp or musty smell from the cooler Evaporative ducts that sat closed all winter can smell stale when the cooling first starts.
- Dark marks around ceiling outlets Dust being pushed out of a duct leaves a grey shadow on the ceiling around the grille.
- A clogged hallway return-air grille If the heating return air is grey with fluff, the ducts behind it need a clean too.

Duct repair & replacement in Melton
Roof spaces in Melton get very hot in summer, and flexible ducting up there ages faster for it. Jackets split, runs sag and outlets come loose.
While we clean, we check the runs we can reach and photograph any damage. You get a clear quote before any repair, and we only recommend replacement when a run is genuinely past saving.
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 Melton winter
Melton winters are cold, and ducted gas heating runs most nights from May. The heating ducts have usually sat unused all summer, collecting dust the heater then blows through the house.
A clean before winter clears the outlets, ducts and filter so the heater works freely. We can clean the evaporative ducts at the same visit, before they’re closed up for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you clean evaporative cooling ducts in Melton?
Yes. We clean the ducts and outlets on evaporative systems, as well as refrigerated and ducted gas heating. Many Melton homes have two systems, and we clean both.
When is the best time to clean evaporative ducts?
Before the first hot spell of summer, or at the end of the season before the system is closed up. Either way, the dust is cleared before it sits for months.
The cooling smells musty when it first comes on. Is that the ducts?
Often. Dust and moisture in evaporative ducts hold a stale smell. Cleaning the ducts and outlets usually clears it; if the cooler itself needs attention, we’ll let you know.
Do you cover the new estates around Melton?
Yes. Cobblebank, Brookfield, Kurunjang, Toolern Vale and the surrounding estates are all on our western run.
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 often should ducts be cleaned?
Every 1–3 years for most homes — sooner with pets, allergy sufferers, recent renovations or building work nearby.
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?
