Sunshine mixes post-war brick homes with new infill and townhouses across the industrial west, and ducted gas heating spans both. FreshDuct services them properly — carbon monoxide test, burner clean and a full function check.
Post-war brick home with an original heater? A service and CO test keeps it safe.
Sunshine is a changing western suburb with a strong industrial heritage, where solid post-war brick homes sit alongside a rising number of townhouses and infill developments. Ducted gas heating turns up in both: original systems in the older homes and compact modern units in the new builds.
The older Sunshine heaters carry the wear you would expect after decades — dust-loaded filters, tired ignition parts, a heat exchanger due for inspection — while the newer units just need keeping efficient. We clean and tune the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, check the controls and airflow and run a carbon monoxide test whatever the age of the unit.
The things we check first on a Sunshine ducted gas heater — based on the local homes, systems and conditions.
Post-war Sunshine heaters build up dust over the years. We clean the burner and replace the return-air filter so an older unit breathes and warms the home efficiently.
Old or new, every Sunshine service includes a heat-exchanger inspection and a negative-pressure carbon monoxide spillage test.
Sunshine townhouses run compact heaters working hard in a small footprint. We tune the burner and check the fan so a small unit heats the home without straining.

A Sunshine service ranges from an original heater in a post-war brick home to a compact unit in a new townhouse. Either way we clean and tune the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, check the controls and airflow and run a carbon monoxide test.
On the older homes the usual issue is a heater grown slow and dusty; on the new builds it is keeping a compact unit efficient. We put both right so the home warms evenly, and we tell you honestly whether an older Sunshine unit is worth keeping.
FreshDuct services ducted gas heaters across Sunshine, Sunshine North and Albion 7 days a week, and we work nearby in Footscray, Werribee, Point Cook and Essendon, so a Sunshine job fits into our run.
From the post-war streets near the station to the new townhouses on infill blocks, we can usually offer a prompt pre-winter service and 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.

Yes. Many Sunshine homes still run their original ducted gas heater. We clean the burner, replace worn ignition parts and the filter, inspect the heat exchanger and run a carbon monoxide test, and advise honestly on the unit’s remaining life.
Yes. A compact modern heater in a Sunshine townhouse still needs annual servicing — the filter clogs, the burner drifts and the heat exchanger should be inspected. We service the unit and run a carbon monoxide test so it stays efficient and safe.
Yes. FreshDuct services, tunes and carbon-monoxide tests ducted gas heaters across Sunshine and the surrounding inner 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.
