A-Grade electricians who do the whole job: solar and batteries, reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging across Blackburn North and Blackburn and Doncaster East. About 60 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
About 60 minutes from Somerville, Blackburn North is classic City of Whitehorse housing: brick veneer built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, most of it heated by ducted gas that is now well past its design life. We have worked in Blackburn North and neighbouring Blackburn, Doncaster East and Box Hill North for years, so we know these houses before we walk in.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Blackburn North 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.
We have been working in Blackburn North and around Blackburn, Doncaster East and Box Hill North for years. Site inspections 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.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Blackburn North's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Replacing 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 Blackburn North. 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 MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Blackburn North: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim or iStore heat pump in, gas capped, VEU discount and STCs on the quote. Timed to run through the middle of the day it heats almost entirely on solar.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneBlackburn North roofs are mostly tile, unshaded and facing somewhere useful, so solar is straightforward. A standard block takes 6.6kW to 10kW; we size to your usage and to the gas appliances you are replacing. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow batteries cover the evening peak, and we lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Blackburn North 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.
Home Electrification across MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Blackburn North home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber, VEU discount on the quote.
