One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging across Eltham and Eltham North and Montmorency. About 70 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
About 70 minutes from our depot, Eltham is hills country: bigger blocks, gums over the roof, and houses that were built for gas or wood heating. We design solar around the shade rather than pretending it is not there, and we replace a lot of ageing gas ducted systems with reverse cycle in Eltham and neighbouring Eltham North, Montmorency and Research.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Eltham 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.
Eltham 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.
Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Eltham: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
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 Eltham. 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 MelbourneShade from established trees is the design problem for solar in Eltham, and it is why we specify SolarEdge optimisers or careful string design here more than anywhere else. Get the layout right and the hills produce well. Batteries with backup are popular for the outages that come with the trees.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneMost Eltham 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 full Eltham 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 Eltham 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 Eltham 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 MelbourneInfill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across Eltham, and new Victorian homes are all-electric. We provide the electrical fit-out and the complete electric package for builders as one contractor, priced from the plans.
Builders across MelbourneEltham has a steady rental market, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the heat pump and split system upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.

Yes. Eltham 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.
In most Eltham homes, yes. We inspect the ducts and the plenum at the site visit, and if they are sound the reverse cycle unit connects to them. That is the single biggest saving in the job.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Eltham.
Usually, but shade is the issue in Eltham. We design panel placement from a site visit and use optimisers where trees make a difference.
All of them. Eltham North, Montmorency and Research and the rest of the Banyule and North East area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
