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 Coldstream and Lilydale and Mount Evelyn. About 70 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Coldstream is in the Yarra Ranges Council foothills, about 70 minutes from Somerville. Sloping blocks, tree cover and homes from the 70s through the 90s, most of them on ducted gas or an old wood heater. Shade is the design problem for solar here, so we spend more time on panel placement and optimisers in Coldstream than almost anywhere else, and reverse cycle heating is the biggest win for the cold winters.
With no mains gas to remove, the Coldstream plan is about generation and storage: a solar array sized for the property, a battery big enough for the evening and for outages, heat pump hot water timed to the solar, and an EV charger where the cars are. Solar Victoria rebates and loans and the federal battery discount all apply, and three-phase supply where it exists opens up larger systems.
We have been working in Coldstream and around Lilydale, Mount Evelyn and Chirnside Park 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.
Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Coldstream: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
Wood heaters and old gas space heaters are common in Coldstream, and reverse cycle is the efficient replacement for both: heating in winter, cooling in summer, and it runs on the solar. Ducted where the roof space allows, splits or multi-head where it does not, all ARC-authorised and VEU-discounted.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneSolar in Coldstream means designing around gums, dormers and pitched roofs. Optimisers where they earn their keep, panel placement from a site visit not a satellite guess, and a battery with backup circuits because the power drops out more often up here.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneFor Coldstream properties a heat pump hot water unit is usually the second thing we install after solar, because it turns midday generation that would otherwise be exported into the hot water you use at night. Reclaim, iStore, Emerald or Haier, VEU and STCs applied.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneFor Coldstream properties the electrification plan is generation first: solar and battery big enough for the house and the sheds, then the appliances that run on it. One design, one crew, every rebate applied.
Home Electrification across MelbourneLonger driveways and detached carports in Coldstream mean longer cable runs, and the older boards often need work. We quote the whole thing fixed, and with the solar and battery systems common up here the charger is set to fill the car from the roof.
EV Chargers across MelbourneBottled-gas cooktops are common in Coldstream and induction replaces them cleanly: faster, safer, no bottles to swap. We run the dedicated circuit, fit the cooktop and remove the gas connection in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneFor builders and renovators in Coldstream: electrical fit-out plus solar, HVAC, heat pump, induction and EV pre-wiring designed together at plan stage, from one licensed contractor.

Yes. Coldstream 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.
Mostly not. Most Coldstream properties run on electricity with bottled gas for cooking at most, so electrification here is about solar, battery and heat pumps rather than gas removal. We confirm what your property has at the inspection.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Coldstream.
Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. Solar Victoria battery rebates and loans and the federal battery discount are applied on the quote.
