The Situation
A homeowner in Wallan needed duct repairs and called us because they’d noticed a sudden drop in airflow from their heating system. The heater was running constantly, yet parts of the house stayed cold, and the energy bill had spiked. With winter setting in, they wanted to get to the bottom of the issue before it got worse.
Inspection and Diagnosis
We arrived on time and carried out an underfloor inspection of the ductwork. Straight away, we found multiple sections of ducting that had been damaged by rodents. There were holes, tears, and parts that had collapsed altogether. These issues were causing warm air to escape under the house instead of heating the rooms, leading to inefficient heating and higher bills.
The Solution
We explained the situation to the homeowner and provided clear pricing for replacing the damaged ducts. They were keen to get it sorted quickly, so we got to work the same day. The process included:
- Safely removing the old, deteriorated ductwork
- Supplying and installing brand new, properly insulated ducts
- Ensuring all connections were sealed and secure to prevent future leaks
- Testing the system to make sure airflow was fully restored
The entire job was completed in one visit. We also gave the homeowner tips on how to spot early signs of duct damage and how to prevent rodent access in the future. With everything back up and running, the house was warm and the system was running efficiently again — just in time for the cold weather.
Key Wins for This Job:
- New, high-quality ductwork installed the same day
- No mess left behind — clean and tidy job site
- Clear, upfront pricing with no surprises
- Arrived on time and explained the work clearly to the homeowner
- Lifetime workmanship guarantee on the new ducts
Why Ductwork Matters for Heating Efficiency
Damaged or deteriorating ducts can cost homeowners a fortune in wasted energy and poor performance. Even the best heating system can’t do its job if warm air is leaking under the house or into the roof space. Replacing faulty ductwork restores airflow, keeps your home warm, and helps reduce energy bills.
