If your property feels impossible to heat properly while your energy bills keep climbing, the problem likely lies beneath your floorboards or above your ceiling. Old, deteriorating heating ducts silently drain your wallet and can even lead to a few negative health effects if the damage is severe.

At HR Heating and Cooling, we specialise in performing complete heating duct replacements across Melbourne, helping homeowners finally get the warm, healthy, and energy-efficient homes they’ve been after. If your home was built before 2000, there’s a strong chance your original ductwork costs you hundreds of dollars each year in wasted energy.

The Hidden Dangers of Old Heating Ducts

Your ducted heating system’s productivity depends entirely on the condition of the ducts themselves. Over decades of use, especially in Melbourne’s notoriously damp winters, these ducts suffer significant deterioration that affects both your comfort and health.

Energy Loss Through Damaged Ducts

Torn or unsealed ducts in the sub-floor or roof cavity of Melbourne homes can lose up to between 10% and 30% of heated air. This means you essentially pay to heat the ground beneath your property! Damage can be caused by animals chewing on the wires and pipes, or from moisture entering the vents and pipes.

Health Risks from Deteriorating Ductwork

Melbourne’s notorious pollen count creates a particular challenge for homes with compromised ductwork. Leaky ducts, which can be caused by damage or an incorrect installation, pull this pollen-laden air into your home, along with dust mites, mould spores that thrive in our damp conditions, and decades of accumulated debris. When your heating turns on, it distributes these contaminants throughout every room, triggering allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues.

Signs your ducts could need replacing include:

  • Blowing cold air
  • Areas around the duct vents or piping ducts have become hot or discoloured
  • Unusual smells
  • The air being blown is weaker than usual
  • Loud noise, especially when the system is turned on

Frequently Asked Questions

faqs-sec
How do I know if my ducts need replacing?

Common signs include rooms that won’t heat properly despite high energy bills, visible tears or gaps in accessible ductwork, musty smells when the heating operates, excessive dust around vents, and unusual noises from the duct system. If your home was built before 2000 and has original ductwork, we highly recommend an inspection.

How long does heating duct replacement take?

Most residential heating duct replacements in Melbourne can be completed in one to two days, depending on your home’s size and accessibility. We work efficiently to minimise disruption while making certain that every connection meets VBA standards.

Will new ducts really lower my heating bills?

By eliminating the 30-40% heat loss common in damaged duct systems, new insulated ducts can make certain that heated air reaches your rooms instead of being wasted in crawl spaces. This significant reduction in energy waste translates directly to lower bills.
