Why Regular Duct Inspections Matter: The Multibot Footage That Will Make You Itch
We recently conducted a post-fire inspection at a restaurant following a kitchen exhaust ignition. While the fire itself was a wake-up call, what we uncovered outside the fire zone was just as alarming.When our team deployed Multibot to inspect the unaffected, standard AC ductwork, we found a heavily degraded, completely neglected system. The date of […]
Advisory note : The Hidden Fire Risk with Heater Banks, Insulation and Dust
As we transition out of peak summer, many HVAC systems will soon engage their heater banks for the first time in months. This poses a significant, often overlooked fire risk. Over the humid summer, internal duct insulation can degrade, lose its adhesive, and sag directly onto the heating elements. When these banks finally energise, any […]
Clean-Air in Action: HVAC Internal Insulation Replacement
At Clean-Air Australia, we specialise in delivering high-quality commercial HVAC services across shopping centres, hospitals, and industrial facilities. Our latest project on the Sunshine Coast involved a large-scale duct insulation replacement across 580m² of internal ductwork at a sub-regional shopping centre.ABOVE Insulation has failed due to water ingress from an extreme weather event.

A Tall Order: HVAC Riser Cleaning and Coating
Common Challenges with RisersAccessing and maintaining HVAC Risers can be challenging due to their central placement within a building or attachment to an outer wall. Typically spanning multiple stories, HVAC risers are crucial for multi-story buildings and high-rise structures, enabling centralised control of climate systems and ensuring consistent indoor air quality and temperature.An HVAC riser […]
Itching to know: Can Fibreglass-lined Ductwork be Cleaned?
Fibreglass-lined ductwork is widely used in many commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems across Australia. The fibreglass liner offers two key benefits:Thermal insulation: Helps maintain the temperature of conditioned air, preventing heat/cooling loss.Sound attenuation: Reduces noise from HVAC equipment and adjacent spaces.However, over time, factors like air turbulence, fluctuating temperatures, and humidity can […]
