Professional whirlybird installations Perth

Our team consists of Trade Qualified Roof Plumbers who have years of experience in the industry. In the case of whirlybird installations, we fit Australian-made units to roofs to provide good ventilation to the building. These whirlybird units have been tried and tested in WA climates to ensure their longevity and durability.

If your whirlybird is broken, it can lead to a large heat build-up in the roof. In turn, this can cause your air conditioning system to become less efficient. As the hot air seeps through your ceiling, your cooling system will work harder and increase your power bill.

We can prevent this by carrying out a roof inspection and assessing the problem with your current whirlybirds. Our experienced roofers will then decide whether you require us to install a new whirlybird or repair the current whirlybirds.

We can also install vents in your eaves to allow cool air to increase the roof ventilation as the hot air is expelled. We offer affordable services to ensure proper roof ventilation for your home. Our friendly experts are ready to assist you with a free quote.

How Do Whirlybirds Work?

Whirlybirds work by spinning in wind to remove hot air from your roof space. This helps to prevent a hot ceiling area during the summer months. Not only will your air conditioning system be more efficient, but it will also improve roof ventilation, and prevent damp, stale air.

As the hot air rises, it escapes through the vents. Thus, it creates a cooler space in the roof. The fins on the vent prevent rain from entering the roof and creating damp ceilings.

Besides removing hot air, whirlybirds also remove moisture from the roof space. This helps to prevent rust and corrosion on any metal in your roof.

These devices can drastically reduce your power bill by expelling the hot, damp air to improve the function of your air conditioning system!

Common Causes Of Whirlybird Failure

Whirlybirds break for a wide range of reasons. And, if the turbines stop spinning in the wind, then the whirlybird is ineffective in removing heat and moisture.

Older units are more prone to breakages and, because some parts are difficult to replace, you may need to install new whirlybirds.

Whirlybird replacement can be more cost-effective than whirlybird repairs, so make sure you get an expert to complete a roof inspection and assess the situation. 

Common reasons for whirlybird failures include

•  Rusty bearings

•  Worn out bearings

•  Bent fins and vents

•  An obstructed turbine or vents

•  The end of the units’ lifespan

•  Plastic parts may become brittle

How To Know When Your Whirlybird Needs Repairing

Whirlybirds should be silent and spin even in light wind. If your unit has become increasingly noisy, it is a good indicator your unit requires a repair or even a new whirlybird installation. Inferior units and incorrectly installed units will break easily. If you notice the ventilation in your space has reduced or the heat is overpowering the cooling system in summer, you should request a roof inspection. This will help you determine whether you need whirlybird repairs or if your unit needs replacing. If the turbines stop spinning, it is another indication your unit is broken. The units do not require much wind, so even in a gentle breeze, the unit should run efficiently. Whirlybirds tend to have a 10- to 15-year Lifespan. If your whirlybirds are this old, they can simply stop working as the parts have run their course. In these instances, it may be cheaper to install new whirlybirds. If you notice any leaks in your roof, this is another indicator your unit or vents are broken. Whirlybirds do not leak at all, even in rainy conditions. The overlapping vents offer a waterproofing unit that expels moisture-laden air while allowing adequate roof ventilation. If one whirlybird is broken, it is highly recommended to check and fix all the units you have at the same time. Since your unbroken units may follow suit in the near future, this will save you time and money.
