Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians across Alphington and Ivanhoe and Eaglemont. About 60 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Alphington is inner Melbourne, City of Yarra, about 60 minutes from our Somerville depot. The housing is terraces, units and apartment blocks, and a high proportion of it is rented. That shifts our work here toward rental safety checks and compliance, induction changeovers in small kitchens, EV charging in apartment car parks, and split systems where there is no roof space for ducted.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Alphington home's energy money goes, and both are in the Victorian Energy Upgrades area, so replacing them attracts VEU discounts on top of the running-cost saving. Ducted reverse cycle usually connects to the existing ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. Solar Victoria rebates and loans cover the panels and battery that follow.
Alphington is regular territory for our crews, and a site inspection there is usually within the week. We design every job as one system, so the solar is sized for the heat pump it will run and the switchboard is checked before the EV charger is quoted.
Rental compliance, induction and apartment EV charging lead in Alphington. Solar is a design question, not a given.
Alphington is largely rental, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the gas-to-electric upgrades property managers are increasingly asked for. Per-property reports, tenant access handled by us, per-owner invoicing.
Real Estate across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Alphington kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop, run the dedicated circuit and cap the gas, usually in half a day, with the VEU discount applied.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneFor Alphington apartments and townhouses we handle the owners corporation submission, load management and metering that shared-supply charging needs. For houses with their own supply it is a straightforward dedicated circuit and a charger set to solar-first.
EV Chargers across MelbourneReplacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with a Braemar or Mitsubishi reverse cycle unit on the existing ducts is the job we do most in Alphington. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where ducts are not practical, split systems from Panasonic, Mitsubishi or Haier cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneMost Alphington homes still have a gas storage tank, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like without anyone asking the question. The better answer is a heat pump from Reclaim, iStore or Emerald, installed in a day by our plumber and electrician together, with VEU and STCs both applied. About a quarter of the energy, and normally the fastest-paying step off gas.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneRoof space is the constraint in Alphington. Terraces take smaller arrays, apartments usually cannot take individual systems, and the right answer is often a battery on an existing system or a right-sized array on a townhouse. We tell you honestly what your roof can do before you spend anything.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Alphington electrification is usually heating first, hot water second, then solar and battery sized to the new load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. Designed once at the first inspection, staged over as many visits as suits you, and every step attracts its own rebates.

Yes. Alphington is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water, reverse cycle heating and cooling and induction cooktops all attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
Usually the ducted heater or the hot water unit, whichever is older. Both carry the largest running costs and the largest VEU discounts, and both are one-visit jobs.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Alphington.
