Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Fitzroy homes, 60 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Fitzroy is inner Melbourne, City of Yarra, about 60 minutes from our Somerville depot. The housing is terraces, units and apartment blocks, and a high proportion of it is rented. That shifts our work here toward rental safety checks and compliance, induction changeovers in small kitchens, EV charging in apartment car parks, and split systems where there is no roof space for ducted.
Because Fitzroy 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 Fitzroy and around Collingwood, Carlton and Fitzroy North 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.
Rental compliance, induction and apartment EV charging lead in Fitzroy. Solar is a design question, not a given.
Fitzroy is largely rental, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the gas-to-electric upgrades property managers are increasingly asked for. Per-property reports, tenant access handled by us, per-owner invoicing.
Real Estate across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Fitzroy 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 MelbourneFor Fitzroy apartments and townhouses we handle the owners corporation submission, load management and metering that shared-supply charging needs. For houses with their own supply it is a straightforward dedicated circuit and a charger set to solar-first.
EV Chargers across MelbourneIn Fitzroy the ducted gas heaters are reaching the end of their lives together, and every one of them is a candidate for a reverse cycle swap using the ducts already in the roof. ARC-authorised technicians, VEU discount applied, and for the smaller homes and units a split system or multi-head does the job for less.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneMost Fitzroy 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 MelbourneSolar in Fitzroy is a design exercise more than a sales one: small, often shaded roofs, heritage streets and shared walls. We work out what is realistic, pair it with a battery where the evening load justifies it, and apply Solar Victoria rebates and loans where you qualify.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Fitzroy 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.

Yes. Fitzroy 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.
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 60 minutes from Fitzroy.
