Contact usDone Right Roofing is your trusted contractor for installing whirlybirds on tile and metal roofs across Brisbane and its suburbs. Whirlybirds are ingenious roof ventilators that harness the power of the wind, eliminating the need for any external power source. These devices offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for cooling your home without the hassle of regular maintenance or excessive expenses.
Whirlybirds work by effectively expelling hot air from your home, allowing it to escape through the roof. The beauty of these ventilators lies in their automatic operation; there’s no need for manual switches as the wind takes care of the job for you.
