Most homes here are only ten to fifteen years old, with good bones and three gas appliances. We plan the order once, then our own electricians, plumbers and refrigeration techs do the work, together or stage by stage.
In older suburbs, electrification usually starts when something dies. In Cranbourne West it rarely does. The ducted gas heater is ten to fifteen years old and still lights, the hot water service works, and the cooktop is fine. What owners notice instead is a gas bill that keeps going up, a house with little or no cooling, and a roof that is empty or carries a small builder system. Planning the change while nothing is urgent lets you do it in the best order.
Home electrification Cranbourne West style usually runs like this: heating and cooling first, because ducted reverse cycle replaces the gas heater and adds cooling at around a third of the running cost of gas heating. Hot water follows with a heat pump, then solar and a battery sized to the new electric load, then induction. In the newest streets, built without gas, the job is only solar, battery and EV charging.
These houses suit the work. Switchboards are modern, single-storey roof spaces are easy to reach for new R1.5 ducts, and garages give a battery a dry wall. Two-storey homes need more thought about the ducts between floors. We cover all of it in one visit, alongside our other Cranbourne West work.
The usual order. We change it if your hot water is older than your heater, or if you want it all at once.
Ducted gas out, ducted reverse cycle in, on new R1.5 insulated ducts sized for the unit, typically one to two days. Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense, with AirTouch 5 zoning so upstairs runs on its own. Where ducts between floors cannot be reached, a Braemar Dominator keeps them.
A heat pump from Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier replaces the gas hot water service, normally in one day. The VEU discount and STCs come off the quote.
Panels sized for the house after the gas appliances have gone, not before. A builder system can stay if it is sound, or be replaced if it is holding back the best roof face. Sigenergy or GoodWe storage in the garage.
Induction on its own circuit replaces the gas cooktop, and that is the last gas appliance gone. An EV charger on a dedicated circuit can go in now or later.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 ducts, or split systems, in place of ducted gas or a wall furnace.
A heat pump in place of the gas storage or instantaneous unit, usually changed over in one day.
The last gas appliance in most kitchens, replaced with induction on its own circuit.
Solar and storage sized for the new electric load, with an EV charger on the same system.
We have no Cranbourne West electrification write-up yet. These show the full picture in Mount Martha, Brighton and Surrey Hills.
In Mount Martha, heating, hot water and cooking all went electric and the gas line was removed. 15.2kW of Jinko panels, three SigenStor modules, a backup gateway and a new flush-mount switchboard went in on one day. The monthly bill on this job dropped from $302 to $148.
Across the bay in Brighton, 9.025kW of Jinko panels, a 16.64kWh GoodWe system, heat pump hot water in place of the old rooftop unit and a 7kW EV charger. The switchboard was moved inside and the house has no gas left.
In Surrey Hills, one crew did it in one visit: 12.35kW of all-black panels over three faces, a 24.18kWh Sigenergy battery behind bollards in the garage, an iStore heat pump, and two worn split systems replaced with a condensation pump added.
5,000+ Melbourne homes have started electrification with us. The good ones started with a plan.
Heater, ducts, hot water, cooktop, roof faces, any builder solar, the garage and the switchboard.
We add up what the electric house will draw and confirm the board and supply can carry it.
Each stage described and priced, with its incentive shown, so you can see the whole path.
All at once with one crew, or one stage at a time. Nothing has to be redone because it was sized for the end result.
Controls and apps set up, timers matched to your solar, and safety certificates issued.
Each incentive belongs to particular items. We apply them as each stage is quoted.
The Cheaper Home Batteries discount, around 30 percent with no income test. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan, as both closed in 2025.
Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts apply only to reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water. STCs also apply to heat pump hot water and to solar panels. More on stage one at heating and cooling in Cranbourne West.
For eligible owner-occupiers, the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan cover panels and inverters only. Induction cooktops and EV chargers have no rebate and are fixed-price.
The crew who plans your house is the crew who builds it.
REC 32300, ARC licensed AU 065299, BPC 132072, and SAA accredited for solar and battery.
If your heater has years left, we tell you and plan around it.
Staged work and follow-up visits are easy to fit in from Somerville.
20+ years in the trade and 10,000+ products installed across Melbourne.
Live Google reviews. Look for the whole-home and off-gas jobs.

You do not have to. Many owners do it now to gain cooling and cut running costs, since reverse cycle heats for around a third of the running cost of gas heating. Others plan it for when the heater fails. We give you both options.
If it is sound and there is roof space beside it, yes. If it sits on the best face and is a fraction of what that face could carry, replacing it often makes more sense. You see both priced.
Upstairs ducts in the roof space are replaced with new R1.5 insulated ducts. Ducts between floors that cannot be reached are kept, with a Braemar Dominator controlling the airflow through them.
Solar sized to the house, a battery for the evening and an EV charger if you drive one. We also check whether the existing hot water and heating are efficient types.
VEU on reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water, STCs on solar panels and heat pump hot water, Solar Victoria on panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers, and the federal discount on batteries. Induction and EV chargers have none.
You can stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use. We talk you through it when you get there.
One inspection, then a written staged plan with each item priced and its incentive shown. No obligation.
