Description

Goodbye Heating Vents are an inexpensive and simple solution for sealing unused floor heating vents. This prevents draughts, odours and pests from entering through the vents while improving home safety, comfort and energy efficiency.

Key Benefits:

  • Low cost: we have created an all-in-one kit to conveniently help you save money on energy costs.
  • Easy to install: installation is easy, it only requires readily available equipment like a caulking gun, cloth, measuring tape and a sharp knife. Step-by-step video instructions are also provided to assist with the process.
  • Draughtproofing: unused heating outlets allow cold air and draughts to enter, wasting heat and money. Blocking them properly will conserve energy and make your home more comfortable.

About

Components:

Polyester Insulation - Cut into neat easy to use squares, the long heat bonded fibres are a rodents nightmare.  They simply do not like tangling with the fibres. This is the first line of defense in decommissioning your floor heating outlets.  As well as being an rodent deterrent, it naturally serves the function of insulating.

Foilfaced Insulation Board - This foil faced polystyrene insulation board is used to draught seal the heating “boot” under the register.  It is cut so that it squeezes in tightly to make an impenetrable barrier immediately under the floor outlet register. 

Fullers UltraClear - This water-based gap sealant that is white when applied and clear when dry is a snap to use. It is used to seal around the perimeter of the Foilfaced Insulation Board and also to seal the gaps along the sides of the boot to the floor.   Cleanup using a damp cloth. Too easy!

Benefits:

  • Avoid unsightly mis-matched repairs to timber floor boards, or having to recarpet your whole home
  • Helps prevent the entry of rodents 
  • Eliminates draughts from decommissioned heating vents
  • Ensures you don’t get any nasty surprises coming up through your old ducting
  • No carpentry skills required - suitable for a total beginner DIY 

Features: 

  • Designed to perfectly fit the two standard ducting boot sizes 
  • A very low cost, and low fuss solution to dealing with your decommissioned ducting vents
  • Very easy to install.  Step by step installation videos are provided. 

    Suitable For:

    • Householders who want to decommission their gas ducting and are looking for a cost effective way to deal with decommissioned vents
    • Homeowners who want to retrofit their house for thermal efficiency
    • First-time homeowners
    • Families preparing for the arrival of a new addition
    • People preparing their homes for retirement
    • Anyone with a thermo-sensitive health condition, AND

    How To

    ecoMaster has provided step by step installation videos on how to install the Goodbye Heating Vents.  It is one of the easiest kits to install and has the potential to save you serious funds when compared to other ways to seal your decommissioned vents.

    Video Guide:

    Please watch the videos to ensure you get the best out of your Goodbye Heating Vents.
      
    Included in the kit is Foilboard for the standard sizes of heating outlet "boots". The Foilboard should fit perfectly into the boot. If you need to cut the Foilboard to fit, here is the video to show you how to do that.
     

    FAQ

    Q: How do I know what size vents I have? 
    A: Good question.  Pop the vent off, grab a measuring tape, then measure the width of the inside of a vent and then the length of the vent. 

    The Medium kit suits vents that are 110mm x 305mm 
    The Large kit suits vents that are 155mm x 355mm

    It would be good to check every one of your vents to make sure they are all the same size before your order. 

    Q: How do I seal my Return Air Vent?  It is bigger than the floor vents!  
    A:  Unfortunately there is no standard size for a Return Air Vent (otherwise we would have made a kit for it).  So... measure the Return Air Vent (length by width). 
    You can use a couple of Goodbye Heating Vent kits, stuff the insulation into the vent, and deal the internal face of the vent by 'gluing' foil board together into one sheet using the Ultraclear in your kit. 

    Q: I have Ultraclear left over.  What do I do with it?  
    A:  Ultraclear is the best product - ever!  As long as you don't burn gas in your home, go here and start sealing all the gaps and cracks in your home.  You will be surprised at how many gaps you have.

    Warranty

    Q: What is the product warranty for Goodbye Heating Vents? 
    A: Goodbye Heating Vents carries a product warranty of 10 years, but can be highly effective for much longer than that.  We have not yet seen a 'failed' Goodbye Heating Vent in the time we installed them and then made them available as a DIY product. 

    Q: What is the installation warranty for Goodbye Heating Vents?
    A: As Goodbye Heating Vents are a DIY product there is no warranty on installation.

    Satisfied with product

    I found this product easy to install. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Staff were very friendly. I found that insulation was too small and I had to use double insulation on some holes to close them properly.

    Hi Nicole,

    Thank you for your review and for choosing our product. We are pleased to hear that you found it easy to install and that our instructions were helpful. We apologize for any inconvenience with the insulation but are glad that there was enough insulation provided to complete the job. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for your support.

    Goodbye Heating Vents

    Cutting the boards to size was easy and installing the units was also straightforward.
    The return unit was a bit fiddly due to it being a long oblong with an angled and uneven top but used the offcut board pieces to make a level surface and lots of filler.
    Units are a bit pricey.

    Hi Robin,

    We take pride in the fact that you took your time to write to us. This helps us strive for the best experience for customers like yourself.
    We are so pleased to hear that the installation process of our 'Goodbye Heating Vents' was a simple one.

    With rising costs across the board, sourcing the components unfortunately isn't as cost effective as it use to be. Providing a convenient one stop kit to de-commission old heating vents and save money on energy bills, we hope is worth it. As a small family business that is committed to energy efficiency for Australian homes we do keep our margins very slim.

    Thanks again for sharing. Have a fantastic day!

    Easy to install!

    Super happy with this kit, the instructions were great and it was super easy to do myself

    Very satisfied

    Product works well and was easy to install. It's reduced freezing drafts, and helped retain some heat. The staff on the phone and in the office for collection, were so helpful. I recommend them.
    (Office at Preston a little hard to find- perhaps a bigger sign?)

    Thank you so much for your excellent review Anne, we are delighted to hear that your experience with our team and their service has been a great one! We do strive to be as helpful and informative as possible to all our customers.
    We appreciate your feedback and will pass your suggestion on.

    Easy and effective

    As someone who has just used a caulking gun for the first time ever... this was easy. My first vent did not look so pretty - but no-one will ever see the wobbly sealant, and I am sure it is still 100% effective. The video demonstration was also a great help.

    Things got easier and neater with practice. My old gas heating has gone, I don't need to worry about draughts (or rats) from the old vents, and this will be a simple and cost effective start to wean myself off expensive non-renewables.

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us and the community Lynne. We are pleased to hear that our videos were a great resource for you! And are also super happy that with the help of our product you are now one step closer to making your home more energy efficient. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future.
