A-Grade electricians who do the whole job: solar and batteries, reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging for Croydon South, VIC 3136. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Croydon South is in the City of Maroondah foothills, about 50 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 Croydon South than almost anywhere else, and reverse cycle heating is the biggest win for the cold winters.
Because Croydon South 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.
We have been working in Croydon South and around Ringwood East, Bayswater North and Croydon 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 Croydon South: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the job we do most in Croydon South. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them and controls the airflow, and where ducted is not practical, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split systems cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneSolar in Croydon South 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 MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Croydon South: 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 MelbourneA full Croydon South 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 MelbourneLonger driveways and detached carports in Croydon South 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 MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Croydon South 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.

Yes. Croydon South is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating and cooling both attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
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.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Croydon South.
Usually, but shade is the issue in Croydon South. We design panel placement from a site visit and use optimisers where trees make a difference.
All of them. Ringwood East, Bayswater North and Croydon and the rest of the Maroondah area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
