In houseproud Bentleigh the kitchen and bathroom get renovated but the ducted heater is often left original — the weak link in an otherwise cared-for home. FreshDuct brings it up to standard with a full service and carbon monoxide test.
Renovated everything but the heater? It probably deserves a service and CO test too.
Bentleigh is a tidy, sought-after south-eastern suburb of post-war and brick-veneer family homes, houseproud streets where gardens are trim and interiors updated. In many of these homes the kitchen and bathroom have been renovated more than once, yet the ducted gas heater is still the original fitted decades ago.
That makes the heater the weak link in an otherwise cared-for home. It quietly loses efficiency as the filter clogs and the burner drifts, and the heat exchanger goes unexamined year after year. An annual service brings the heating up to the standard of the rest of the house, and the carbon monoxide test confirms it is safe.
The things we check first on a Bentleigh ducted gas heater — based on the local homes, systems and conditions.
Even in a spotless Bentleigh home the return-air filter fills with dust each year. We clean or renew it so the heater keeps its airflow and does not run hot for nothing.
Where everything else has been updated, the heater is often the last original item. We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks and CO-test the unit so it matches the care taken elsewhere.
When a Bentleigh heater is genuinely near its end, we flag it early so you can plan a tidy replacement in the off-season rather than scrambling when it fails.

In a well-kept Bentleigh home the ducted heater deserves the same attention as everything that has been renovated around it. We clean and tune the burner, renew the filter, inspect the heat exchanger and run a carbon monoxide test so the heating is as reliable and efficient as the rest of the house.
If the unit still has good years in it — and most do — a service restores its efficiency and quiet running. If it is genuinely spent, we tell you early and honestly, so a replacement can be planned neatly rather than forced on the coldest night of winter.
FreshDuct services ducted gas heaters across Bentleigh, Bentleigh East and McKinnon 7 days a week, from the streets near the station to the family homes towards East Bentleigh.
We work nearby in Oakleigh, Brighton, Clayton and Glen Waverley too, and can usually offer a prompt autumn appointment to have the heating sorted before the cold arrives.
A thorough, documented annual service — every component checked and a carbon monoxide test done before the cold sets in.
We check the whole ducted gas heater — burner, heat exchanger, gas valve, thermocouple, ignition and wiring.
A negative-pressure CO spillage test to make sure the heat exchanger is sound and nothing is venting into your home.
Burner, injectors and ignition cleaned and adjusted so the heater lights reliably and burns cleanly.
Return-air filter and supply vents checked and cleared so warm air flows freely to every room.
Thermostat, sensors and controls tested so the heater cycles correctly and holds the temperature you set.
A clear service report with photos and honest advice on whether to service or replace.

Yes. In Bentleigh the heater is often the last original item in an otherwise updated home. A service cleans the burner, renews the filter, inspects the heat exchanger and includes a carbon monoxide test, bringing the heating up to the standard of the rest of the house.
We tell you during the service. If the heat exchanger is cracked or corroded, or core parts have failed, replacement is the honest call and we explain why. If the unit is sound, a service and fresh filter usually give it several more efficient winters.
Yes. FreshDuct services, tunes and carbon-monoxide tests ducted gas heaters across Bentleigh and the surrounding south-east, 7 days a week. Call 04 3191 8137 or request a free quote.
A standard annual service and carbon monoxide test is a fixed, affordable price; the cost only changes if the heater needs a part such as a thermocouple, igniter, filter or fan component — and we quote those clearly before we fit anything. Call 04 3191 8137 for pricing.
Every two years at a minimum, and ideally once a year before winter. An annual service in autumn means the burner, heat exchanger and controls are checked and a carbon monoxide test is done before you rely on the heater through the cold months.
Yes. Every ducted gas heater service we do includes a carbon monoxide safety check — we test for CO spillage and inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, because a faulty exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into the home. It is the single most important reason to service a gas heater.
Annual service and tune, carbon monoxide safety test, burner & heat-exchanger check, filter and airflow — a clean, documented service with photo proof. Available 7 days.
