Richmond’s Victorian workers’ cottages and warehouse conversions pack ducted heaters into tight inner-city footprints. FreshDuct services them carefully — carbon monoxide test, burner clean and an airflow check in compact homes.
Warehouse conversion with high ceilings and slow heat? An airflow check makes a difference.
Richmond is a dense inner-city suburb of Victorian workers’ cottages, terraces and large converted warehouses around Bridge Road and Swan Street. That range means ducted gas heating of very different sizes — a compact unit warming a narrow cottage at one end, a bigger system fighting high warehouse ceilings at the other.
The service is tailored to the home. A small cottage heater is all about clearing the airflow so a tight footprint warms evenly; a warehouse conversion is about moving enough warm air to fill a big volume. Either way we clean and tune the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, check the controls and run a carbon monoxide test.
The things we check first on a Richmond ducted gas heater — based on the local homes, systems and conditions.
Converted Richmond warehouses have big volumes to heat. We check the fan, filter and vents so the heater actually moves enough warm air to fill the space instead of labouring.
Whether it is a cottage unit or a large conversion heater, every Richmond service includes a heat-exchanger inspection and a carbon monoxide spillage test.
Narrow Richmond cottages often have small returns that clog fast. We clean or replace the filter so a compact heater breathes and warms the home evenly.

A Richmond service depends on the home — a tiny cottage one day, a big warehouse conversion the next. In both we clean and tune the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, test the controls and run a carbon monoxide check, adapting to the space and the size of the system.
In the warehouse conversions the usual issue is a heater struggling to fill a large, high-ceilinged volume; in the cottages it is restricted airflow in a tight footprint. We tune the burner and correct the airflow for the specific home, and photograph what we found.
FreshDuct services ducted gas heaters across Richmond and Cremorne 7 days a week, and we are constantly working nearby in Carlton, Fitzroy, Prahran and Hawthorn, so a Richmond job is easy to reach.
From the cottages off Bridge Road to the conversions near Swan Street, we handle inner-city homes of every size 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. We regularly service ducted gas heaters in Richmond warehouse conversions with high ceilings and large volumes. We tune the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, check the fan and airflow for the bigger space, and run a carbon monoxide test.
A large, high-ceilinged space needs plenty of airflow, and a choked filter or a heater that is marginal for the volume will struggle. We check the fan and airflow, tune the burner and advise honestly whether the unit is sized for the space.
Yes. FreshDuct services, tunes and carbon-monoxide tests ducted gas heaters across Richmond 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.
