Duct Repairs & Replacement Prices in Melbourne
Starting prices per repair. Roof access, run length and insulation rating change the final figure, which is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
If One Room Never Warms Up, the Duct Is Usually the Reason
The heater is rarely the problem. In most Melbourne homes with a complaint about one cold room, the flexible duct feeding that vent has come off the plenum, split along a seam, been crushed by storage in the roof, or been chewed open by rodents.
A disconnected duct does not just stop heating that room. It pumps your heated air straight into the roof space, so every other room gets less as well and the unit runs longer trying to reach the thermostat. People pay for that on the gas bill for years without ever going up the manhole.
This page is about repairing and replacing the ductwork itself. If your ducts are intact and you want the dust and debris removed from them, that is a different job and it is covered on our duct cleaning page.
If airflow is weak or absent from one or two vents, it is a repair. If airflow is fine everywhere but you get dust and a smell when the heater starts, it is a clean. We inspect first and tell you which, and plenty of callouts turn out to be a single reconnection.

Duct Repairs and Replacement Melbourne FAQs
How much do duct repairs cost in Melbourne?
From $89 for a reconnection, from $99 to seal a split, from $189 to replace a single insulated run and from $60 per ceiling vent refit. A full eight-outlet re-duct starts from $1,650 after inspection. Inspection is from $89 and we waive it if you go ahead with the repair on the day. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How is this different from your duct cleaning page?
Cleaning removes dust and debris from ducting that is intact. This page is about ducting that is physically damaged, disconnected, crushed or chewed. If airflow is weak or missing from a vent, you need a repair. If airflow is fine but you get dust and a smell when the heater kicks in, you need a clean.
Why does one room never heat up?
Nine times out of ten the flexible duct feeding that vent has come off the plenum at the heater end, or split along a seam. Your heated air is going into the roof space rather than the room. It is usually a reconnection, which is the cheapest job on our list, and it often pays for itself in a single winter.
Can you repair rodent damage to ducting?
Small holes can be patched, but where rodents have chewed through the insulation and inner liner we replace that run, because a patched liner keeps failing next to the patch. We also note where they are getting into the roof so you can get that closed off.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, we need access to the manhole and to every vent for the airflow check at the end. You do not need to go up there with us, we photograph everything and show you on the ground before and after.
How long does a duct repair take?
A single reconnection is usually inside an hour. Replacing one run takes one to two hours depending on roof access. A full house re-duct is a day. We will give you a realistic time when we quote, not an optimistic one.
Is it worth replacing ducting rather than repairing it?
If the ducting is over about fifteen years old and the material has gone brittle, yes. Repairs on brittle duct tend to fail again a foot away from the patch within a season or two. If it is a clean tear or a connection on ducting in good condition, repairing it is the sensible choice and we will say so.
Will new ducting lower my heating bill?
It usually does, sometimes noticeably, because you stop paying to heat your roof space. We will not put a percentage on it because it depends on how bad the leak was and how you use the system, and anyone quoting you a guaranteed saving is guessing.
Do you work on evaporative cooling ducts?
Yes. Evaporative cooling ductwork fails the same way and is often found disconnected when we are up there for a heating complaint. We check both systems while we have the manhole open.
Do you cover my suburb?
All of Melbourne metro plus Geelong and surrounds, seven days including public holidays. Call 0436 389 114 if you are not sure.
