Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Canterbury, VIC 3126. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
About 50 minutes from Somerville, Canterbury is classic City of Boroondara 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 Canterbury and neighbouring Camberwell, Surrey Hills and Balwyn for years, so we know these houses before we walk in.
Because Canterbury 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.
Canterbury 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.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Canterbury'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 Canterbury. 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 Canterbury 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 MelbourneA typical Canterbury brick veneer has room for 6.6kW to 13kW of panels and the evening load to justify a battery. We design from your bills, install with our own CEC-accredited electricians and apply every Victorian and federal incentive on the quote.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Canterbury 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 MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Canterbury 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 MelbourneEV charging in Canterbury starts with the switchboard. Many of the 1970s boards need a breaker or RCD upgrade for a 32A charger circuit, which we include in the fixed price. Solar-aware charging is set up on the day.

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.
