Reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction, solar, battery and EV charging, planned from the first inspection and fitted by our own electricians, plumbers and refrigeration techs. Do it in stages or in one go.
Frankston South homes tend to be generous: larger floor plans, a second storey on many, gardens with tall trees and roofs broken into several faces. Most were built to run on gas, with ducted gas heating, a gas hot water service and often a gas cooktop. That is three separate appliances, three different trades and, because the house is big, a heating load that dominates the energy bill every winter.
Home electrification Frankston South style is less about one big swap and more about getting the sequence right. Heating comes first in most of these homes, because the ducted gas heater is the biggest user and reverse cycle runs at around a third of its running cost. In a two-storey house, though, the ducts feeding the ground floor often run between the floors where nobody can reach them. In those homes only, a Braemar Dominator keeps the existing ducts. Everywhere else, new R1.5 ducts go in.
Solar is the other local puzzle. Tree-shaded, multi-face roofs need a careful layout, and sometimes a larger battery to make up for a shorter solar day. We draw the whole plan at the first inspection, so the switchboard, the heat pump and the panels all fit together. You can see the rest of our Frankston South work here.
Each one can stand alone. Together they leave no gas appliances in the house.
Ducted gas comes out and ducted reverse cycle goes in, on new R1.5 insulated ducts as our default, typically one to two days. Where two-storey ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator uses them. Mitsubishi Electric and Hisense units suit split or multi-head jobs, with AirTouch 5 zoning for big floor plans.
A heat pump from Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier replaces the gas tank, normally in a day. An induction cooktop takes over from gas on its own circuit. Once both are done and the heater has gone, the last gas appliance goes with them.
Jinko and Aiko panels laid out face by face around the trees, with a Sigenergy or GoodWe battery sized to carry the evening heating and cooking. On a roof with a short solar day, storage does more of the work.
A big all-electric house adds several large circuits. We check the switchboard and supply first and upgrade where needed, leaving room for an EV charger on its own protected circuit 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 do not yet have a Frankston South electrification write-up. These are from Mount Martha and Blairgowrie.
Further down the Peninsula in Mount Martha, heating, hot water and cooking went electric and the gas line was removed. 15.2kW of Jinko panels, a 10kW Sigen hybrid inverter with backup gateway, 24.18kWh of storage and a new flush-mount switchboard. The monthly bill on this job went from $302 to $148.
A second Mount Martha home had its hallway gas wall furnace decommissioned and replaced with reverse cycle, each outdoor unit on its own circuit. An Emerald heat pump, 29 Jinko panels on tile and a 27.12kWh SigenStor followed, with the switchboard upgraded and every circuit labelled.
A double-storey home in Blairgowrie on a single-phase board was rewired to three phase. Gas heating, hot water and cooking all went: Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water, induction, 17.1kW of Jinko panels, 32kWh of Sigenergy storage and a 22kW EV charger.
5,000+ Melbourne homes started on electrification with us. Most began with a plan like this.
Every gas appliance, the roof faces and shade, the duct runs upstairs and down, the switchboard and the supply. One visit, all trades.
Whatever else happens, the board has to carry it. We confirm capacity and price any upgrade before anything else.
Usually heating, then hot water, then solar and battery sized to the new load, then the cooktop. We adjust if a tank is about to fail.
Each item priced on its own with its own incentive shown, so you can do it all now or spread it out.
Our crew fits each stage, sets up the apps and timers, and issues the safety certificates as each part is finished.
The schemes do not overlap. Here is which one applies to what.
For eligible owner-occupiers, on solar panels and inverters only. 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 apply to solar panels and heat pump hot water. More on the heating side at heating and cooling in Frankston South.
Batteries get the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount, around 30 percent with no income test. Induction cooktops and EV chargers have no rebate and are a fixed price.
Electrification goes wrong when four companies each do their bit. We do all of it.
REC 32300 electrical, ARC licensed AU 065299 refrigeration, BPC 132072 plumbing, SAA accredited solar and battery.
New R1.5 ducts are the default. A Braemar Dominator is only for two-storey runs we genuinely cannot replace.
And 10,000+ products installed across Melbourne, from heat pumps to switchboards to batteries.
Frankston South is about 11 minutes from our Somerville depot, so staged work and follow-ups are easy to fit in.

In most, with the ducted gas heater, because it uses the most energy and reverse cycle costs around a third as much to run. If the hot water tank is close to failing, we swap the order.
Only where they cannot be reached, which usually means the runs between floors. Those homes get a Braemar Dominator on the existing ducts. Anywhere we can reach, new R1.5 insulated ducts go in.
Yes. We plan the whole house at the first inspection, then you choose when each stage happens. Nothing has to be redone later because the switchboard and solar were sized for the full plan.
Usually, with a careful layout across the faces that do get sun and a battery sized to suit. We tell you the realistic output before you commit.
Once the last gas appliance goes, you can stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use. We will talk you through the options at that stage.
No. Induction cooktops and EV chargers have no rebate. They are fixed-price items on your quote.
One inspection, then a written plan with each stage priced and its incentive shown. No obligation.
