Fitzroy’s bluestone and brick terraces are among Melbourne’s oldest, and heating is squeezed into narrow single-fronted homes. FreshDuct services ducted gas units carefully — carbon monoxide test, burner clean and airflow check in tight quarters.
Single-fronted terrace with barely room for the ducts? We work in tight spaces every day.
Fitzroy is Melbourne’s oldest suburb — tight streets of bluestone and brick Victorian terraces, single-fronted cottages and converted warehouses. Space is at a premium, so ducted gas heating is fitted into whatever narrow footprint the home allows, with short duct runs and compact returns.
Heating a narrow terrace is all about airflow. A small return or a choked filter starves the heater and leaves the back of the house cold, while the unit itself works hard. We service the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, clear the airflow and run a carbon monoxide test so a Fitzroy heater warms the whole home safely.
The things we check first on a Fitzroy ducted gas heater — based on the local homes, systems and conditions.
Narrow Fitzroy terraces often have undersized returns. We clean or replace the filter and check the airflow so the heater is not starved and the back rooms actually warm up.
A heater tucked into a tight terrace still needs a full safety check. Every Fitzroy service includes a heat-exchanger inspection and a carbon monoxide spillage test.
Short duct runs and a small heater mean airflow balance is everything. We tune the burner and check the fan so warm air reaches the far end of a single-fronted home.

Servicing a ducted heater in a narrow Fitzroy terrace means working neatly in a confined space, which is exactly what we do all over the inner city. We access the unit, clean the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, check the controls and run a carbon monoxide test.
The typical Fitzroy problem is a cold back room while the front stays warm — almost always airflow rather than the heater. We clear the return and vents and tune the burner so heat carries down the length of the home, and we photograph what we found along the way.
FreshDuct services ducted gas heaters across Fitzroy and Fitzroy North 7 days a week, and we are constantly working nearby in Carlton, Northcote, Richmond and Brunswick, so a Fitzroy job is easy to reach.
From the bluestone terraces off Brunswick Street to the warehouse conversions near the Merri Creek, we handle tight inner-city installs every week and can prioritise a heater that has stopped working.
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.

“Our floor-ducted heater was noisy and slow to warm up. FreshDuct serviced it, replaced the filter and it heats the whole house again.”

“Great communication and a tidy job. They checked the thermostat and airflow and sorted a room that was never getting warm.”

“Honest team — they told me the unit was worth servicing rather than replacing and saved me a lot of money.”

Yes. Tight single-fronted terraces are normal work for us in Fitzroy. We access the heater in whatever confined space it lives, clean the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, clear the airflow and run a carbon monoxide test.
In a narrow terrace with short duct runs it is nearly always airflow — a small or blocked return and a choked filter stopping warm air reaching the far end. We clear the airflow path and tune the burner so heat carries the length of the home.
Yes. FreshDuct services, tunes and carbon-monoxide tests ducted gas heaters across Fitzroy and the surrounding inner city, 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.
