BalaclavaBalaclava, from the switchboard up
In Balaclava the job is rarely a big detached house with a roof full of panels. It is City of Port Phillip terraces and apartments, owners corporations, property managers and tenants. We do the two-yearly electrical safety checks, the switchboard and smoke alarm compliance, the induction swaps and the shared-supply EV charging that inner suburbs actually need.
Because Balaclava is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the typical 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. We plan the whole sequence at the first inspection so nothing has to be redone.
Balaclava 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.
