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.

FAQ
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.

This kit is great for standard vents - very happy. However it’s no good to block a specially made boot in my bathroom. Also the website says “Remember to get an extra kit to treat the Return Air inlet.” The polyester insulation and insulation board is way too small to cover my 32cm diameter return inlet. Time for two plan B’s !
Hi Kate,
Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear that you a very happy with our Goodbye Heating Vents kit in regards to your vents. You mentioned that the kit was too small for your 32cm return inlet. Yes you are correct, we would have recommended the Large Goodbye Heating Vents to deal with that sized return. If you wish to discuss please feel free to give us a call on 1300 326 627. Have a nice day!
Vintage 1990s ducts, each warped. Easy to trim foil board to fit. Used extra ultraclear to fill gaps. Especially happy to fully insulate the return air vent which had no internal cover and is outside a bedroom. Noticeably fewer drafts and the house maintains temperature overnight so much better. Added bonus of a quieter house. So easy and worth the effort.
Hi Nanci,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review! We are absolutley delighted to hear that our Goodbye Heating Vents kit was able to meet your needs and help improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your home, with the added bonus of a quieter home - Winning!!!
We take pride in providing well-supplied DIY kits and are glad to hear that you found it easy to use. Thank you for choosing our product and for sharing your experience with us.
The vent sealer worked perfectly and was easy to install. Ecomaster is a wonderful business: sustainable home retrofitting products and advice - what’s not to like!?
Hi Michael,
We are thrilled to hear that our vent sealing kit worked perfectly for you and was easy to install. We are also happy to know that you appreciate our focus on sustainable home retrofitting. Thank you for supporting ecoMaster, we truly appreciate your business.
I've been looking at my heating vents for 18 months, thinking..."I really should seal up that home in the ground" but never quite doing it. This kit basically got me off my bum and doing it.
Critique - the cost is probably more than the sum of the parts (delivery was a big part of that) but the fact that they arrived ready to go and I could finish the whole house in less than 90 mins is a benefit in itself. If I was to price in the cost of extra heating over the last 18 months while I was "thinking about it" - these things are a bargain.
Dear Tref,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Goodbye Heating Vents and Duct Sealing Kit. It's fantastic hearing that our product was able to motivate you to finally seal your vents after 18 months of contemplation. We understand that you feel that the cost may seem high, but we believe the convenience and efficiency of our kit make it worth it - as do many other customers. The delivery cost is unfortunately out of our control, however we will happily pass your feedback onto Australia Post.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to continue providing helpful and convenient solutions for your home.
Great product. Really quick and simple to cover up all the vents. Did all 7 vents and the return duct in a couple of hours.
HI Matt,
Glad to hear that it was a quick and simple process for you to cover all 7 vents and the return duct. We appreciate your support!
