Essendon’s Edwardian villas and interwar brick homes near the Maribyrnong often run long-established ducted gas heaters. FreshDuct services them the careful way — carbon monoxide test, burner and heat exchanger checked, airflow cleared.
Pilot keeps dropping out or heater cutting short? Book a burner and thermocouple check.
Essendon is a settled inner north-western suburb of Edwardian villas, interwar brick homes and Art Deco pockets, spread over gentle rises near the Maribyrnong River. Ducted gas heating went into many of these homes decades ago, and a good number of those original systems are still the main source of winter warmth.
A heater that has been running for twenty-odd winters develops the predictable faults — a tired thermocouple that drops the pilot, a burner that needs cleaning, a heat exchanger that deserves a proper look. An annual service and carbon monoxide test keeps an Essendon heater reliable and safe rather than leaving it to fail on the coldest night.
The things we check first on a Essendon ducted gas heater — based on the local homes, systems and conditions.
Older Essendon heaters often drop out because of a worn thermocouple or tired ignition. We test and replace these small parts so the burner lights and stays lit reliably.
Long-serving gas heaters earn a careful safety check. Every Essendon service includes a heat-exchanger inspection and a negative-pressure carbon monoxide spillage test.
Decades of dust build up on the return-air grille and filter of an older system. We clean and replace the filter so the heater breathes and warms the home efficiently.

An Essendon ducted heater that has served the home for twenty years is usually worth keeping if it is serviced properly. We clean the burner, replace the thermocouple or igniter if needed, inspect the heat exchanger and run a carbon monoxide test.
The most common Essendon call-outs are a heater that will not stay lit or one that no longer warms the far rooms. We fix the small ignition faults and clear the filter and airflow, and we tell you honestly if the unit is genuinely near the end of its life.
FreshDuct services ducted gas heaters across Essendon, Essendon North and Aberfeldie 7 days a week, and we are regularly working nearby in Moonee Ponds, Coburg, Brunswick and Footscray, so an Essendon booking is easy to fit in.
From the villas along Buckley Street to the brick homes towards the river, we can usually offer a prompt autumn slot and prioritise a heater that keeps dropping out before winter really bites.
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.
Verified 5-star reviews from across FreshDuct’s heating, cooling and duct services.
“Booked a pre-winter service on our old ducted heater. They did a carbon monoxide test, cleaned the burner and it fires up first go now.”
Verified
“Turned up on time, showed me the heat exchanger and explained the CO test properly. No scare tactics, just honest advice.”
Verified
“Our floor-ducted heater was noisy and slow to warm up. FreshDuct serviced it, replaced the filter and it heats the whole house again.”
Verified
“Great communication and a tidy job. They checked the thermostat and airflow and sorted a room that was never getting warm.”
Verified
“Honest team — they told me the unit was worth servicing rather than replacing and saved me a lot of money.”

Yes. On older Essendon ducted heaters a dropped pilot is usually a worn thermocouple or a dirty ignition assembly. We test and replace those parts, clean the burner and confirm the heater lights and stays lit, then run a carbon monoxide test.
Often it is worth servicing. Many Essendon heaters are mechanically sound and just need the burner cleaned, a small part replaced and the airflow cleared. We give an honest assessment and only recommend replacement when the heat exchanger or core parts have genuinely had it.
Yes. FreshDuct services, tunes and carbon-monoxide tests ducted gas heaters across Essendon and the surrounding inner north-west, 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.
