Ask for a written scope covering moisture, heat or air-quality problem, fan, duct and outlet design and installation, controls and testing, plus the total price, timing, exclusions, payment terms and how variations will be approved.

What affects the cost of ventilation & exhaust systems in Queensland?

The main variables are airflow and duct length and roof, ceiling and electrical access. Photos and measurements can help with an initial response, but some jobs need an on-site assessment before a firm quote is possible.

Does ventilation & exhaust systems require a Queensland licence?

Mechanical ventilation and fixed electrical work can require separate Queensland licences. Confirm who is responsible for the duct, fan, control and electrical scopes.

How do I compare ventilation & exhaust systems providers?

Compare the same written scope, provider credentials, insurance, product or workmanship warranties, start timing, exclusions and total price. Do not compare headline totals until the inclusions match.

What should I prepare before requesting quotes?

Prepare safe-to-take photos, relevant measurements, the property location, preferred timing and notes about moisture, heat or air-quality problem and fan, duct and outlet design. Never enter an unsafe area just to gather quote information.
