Moonee Ponds blends grand Victorian and Edwardian homes with a wave of new apartments, running both ducted evaporative and split-system cooling. FreshDuct services both, honestly.
Old rooftop cooler flagging? A service and new pads brings it back.
Moonee Ponds is a north-west suburb caught mid-change — grand Victorian and Edwardian homes on the older streets, and a run of new apartment towers rising around the station and Puckle Street. The cooling reflects it: ducted evaporative on the period homes, split systems throughout the newer builds.
On the older homes the evaporative units sit up on decorative period roofs, cooling the whole house through summer. Like any evaporative unit they need a spring service — fresh pads, a working pump and float valve — to be ready for the north-west’s hot days.
The things we check first on a Moonee Ponds evaporative cooler — based on the local homes, roofs and conditions.
Moonee Ponds runs ducted evaporative on its period homes and split systems in the apartments. We service and clean both so the whole property is looked after.
The older homes carry evaporative units on decorative period roofs. We access them carefully and service the unit without disturbing the tiles or ridging.
Scale and grime clog the pads over the years. Fresh pads are the single biggest fix for a period-home cooler that has stopped feeling cold.

A Victorian home near Queens Park might run a ducted evaporative cooler on its roof, while a new apartment off Puckle Street runs a split system. We look after both — a full evaporative service up on the period roof, or a clean and check of a split system inside.
The evaporative service is thorough: pads, pump, float valve, water distribution, belt and bearings, all checked and photographed. For split systems we clean the filters, coils and barrel so they run efficiently and blow clean, cool air.
FreshDuct services cooling systems across Moonee Ponds and the north-west 7 days a week. We work regularly in neighbouring Essendon, Brunswick, Coburg and Footscray, so Moonee Ponds is part of our everyday run.
From the period streets near Queens Park to the apartments around the station and Puckle Street, we can usually offer a prompt pre-season time and prioritise any unit that has stopped cooling.

We check the unit on the roof — pads, pump, float valve, belt, bearings, wiring and the water tray.
Worn, scaled or clogged cooling pads swapped for fresh ones so air and water flow freely again.
Pump, float valve and water distribution cleaned or replaced so the pads stay evenly wet.
Belt tension, bearings and fan checked so the unit moves the air it should.
A full run-test, then commissioning for summer — or a proper drain-down for winter.

Verified 5-star reviews from across FreshDuct’s cooling, heating and duct services.
“Booked a pre-summer service and the cooler runs quieter and colder than it has in years. New pads made a huge difference.”
Verified
“Turned up on time, replaced a dead pump and the float valve, and showed me the old parts. No upselling at all.”
Verified
“Our old rooftop unit was barely cooling. FreshDuct serviced it, swapped the pads and it is like a different system.”
Verified
“Great communication and a tidy job. They drained it down for winter and came back to start it up in spring.”
Verified
“Honest advice — they told me the unit was worth servicing rather than replacing. Saved me a fortune.”
Verified
“Quick, professional and clean. The before-and-after photos showed exactly what the pads looked like.”

Yes. Moonee Ponds’ period homes usually run ducted evaporative coolers on the roof, while the apartments run split systems, and we service and clean both — a full evaporative service up top, or a filter, coil and barrel clean for a split.
Usually, yes. Evaporative units are simple and durable, and even an older Moonee Ponds cooler often just needs fresh pads, a pump or a float valve. We will tell you honestly if the cabinet or core has genuinely failed.
Yes. FreshDuct services, repairs and re-pads evaporative coolers across Moonee Ponds and the surrounding north-west, 7 days a week. Call 04 3191 8137 or request a free quote.
A standard pre-season service is a fixed, affordable price; the cost only changes if the unit needs new pads, a pump, a float valve or other parts — and we quote those clearly before we fit anything. Call 04 3191 8137 for pricing.
Once a year, ideally in spring before the first hot spell — that way worn pads, a tired pump or a sticking float valve are found and fixed before you actually need the cooling. An annual service also stops mineral scale and dust building up on the pads.
Usually just the pads. Cooling pads are a wear item and are far cheaper than a new unit, so unless the cabinet is rusted through or the core components have failed, a service and fresh pads brings most coolers back to life. We give you an honest call either way, with no pressure to replace.
Pad replacement, pump & float checks, winter shutdown and summer commissioning — a clean, documented service with photo proof. Available 7 days.
