A-Grade electricians who do the whole job for Ascot Vale, VIC 3032: reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, solar and batteries, induction and EV charging. One inspection, one fixed quote, every rebate applied.
Ascot Vale is Victorian and Edwardian weatherboard and brick homes between Union Road and the racecourse, with units and townhouses mixed in and the Ascot Vale estate renewal changing the southern end. Most period homes here have a gas space heater or wall furnace and gas hot water, and many have not had the switchboard touched in decades.
Because Ascot Vale is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the usual order of works is heating and hot water first for the rebates and the running-cost drop, then solar and a battery sized to the new electric load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. The west also runs hotter in summer than the bay and eastern suburbs, so the reverse cycle system that replaces the gas heater earns its keep twice a year.
Site inspections in Ascot Vale are free, the quote is fixed with every rebate already applied, and the same in-house crew does the electrical, refrigeration and plumbing. If you are weighing up where to start, our home electrification page walks through the order, or call and we will tell you straight for your house.
No ducts, small roofs and heritage streets set the order in Ascot Vale: split systems and heat pump hot water first, then solar on the right roof plane, then the rest.
Period homes in Ascot Vale rarely have ducts. Split systems or a multi-head replace the gas heater and add cooling, with outdoor units placed where they are not seen from the street. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
A gas hot water unit is one of the two biggest gas users in a Ascot Vale home. We replace it with a Reclaim, iStore or Emerald heat pump in a single day, plumber and electrician together, and apply the VEU discount and STCs before you see the price.
Ascot Vale roofs are smaller and often split by chimneys, so 3kW to 6.6kW on the best rear plane is typical. A battery makes sense once the heating and hot water are electric. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
The induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Ascot Vale home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneWe design the whole Ascot Vale job at the first inspection, so the switchboard, the solar and the battery are sized for everything that is coming, not just the first appliance. Stage it over one visit or several, and we arrange the gas meter abolishment at the end.

Yes. Ascot Vale is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating and cooling both attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
Some do. We check the wiring and the board at the inspection. Often only the board and a few new circuits are needed, not a full rewire.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Ascot Vale, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Most take 3kW to 6.6kW on a rear-facing plane, which is enough to run a heat pump and split systems through the day. The battery mounts on a wall, so it needs no roof at all.
All of them. Moonee Ponds, Essendon and Kensington and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
