How do brand and quality tier change the repair cost?
Brand and tier adjust the parts portion only — never labour. Parts prices vary by brand, and they say nothing about how good a unit is. The reference level here is Mitsubishi Electric, whose control boards average €805.18. Pricier boards were observed for CTC, LG and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, cheaper ones for Panasonic, Viessmann, Fujitsu, Thermia, Bosch and Toshiba. For many brands — among them Daikin, NIBE, Samsung and Vaillant, and the Finnish makers Jäspi, Gebwell, Lämpöässä, Oilon, Vallox, Enervent and Ariterm — no publicly priced control board is available, so no price difference is claimed either way. The price observations come from a Nordic euro parts storefront, not from a Finnish shop's price list. Pick a tier for a class-typical estimate, or a specific Finnish brand to override it.

Ductwork & Vents disconnected / collapsed duct repair: what usually causes it? Estimated
-
Refixing and sealing a duct that has come loose
Pro recommended€120–€350
-
Renewing and insulating a duct that has come loose in the loft
Pro recommended€280–€750
If the duct has had time to get wet or has collapsed, it is renewed and re-insulated. The price is made up of hourly work plus duct and insulation materials; the parts for a roof penetration cost a few tens of euros in retail. The top means a long duct run in a low loft in winter, where the work is slow. In Finland the fault is often only found from damp marks at the ceiling line. The work belongs to a ventilation contractor.

How much is a service-call fee for ductwork & vents repair?
Most Finnish companies charge a call-out / diagnostic fee of €30–€155, often credited toward the repair if you go ahead. It is separate from the repair totals above. VAT (ALV, 25.5%) may or may not be included: many small heating and ventilation firms and sole traders fall under Finland's small-business VAT exemption threshold (turnover up to €20,000 a year, the limit in force since 1 January 2025) and charge no VAT — so treat 25.5% as a ceiling, not a guaranteed add-on. No reduced rate covers heating-equipment repair. Finland's household tax credit (kotitalousvähennys) does not reduce the invoice; it is claimed later in your own tax return.
Is it worth repairing a ductwork & vents, or should you replace it?
A common rule of thumb: if the repair cost exceeds roughly half the price of a comparable new unit — or the appliance is past ~8 years for a ductwork & vents — replacement is often the better value. The calculator's localized totals give you the number to weigh against a new-unit quote.
