Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Harkaway homes, 40 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Harkaway is one of the City of Casey growth areas, 29 km and about 40 minutes from our Somerville depot. Nearly everything here was built after 2005, which changes the job: the homes are insulated, the switchboards are modern, and since Victoria's all-electric rule for new homes most of the newest builds have no gas at all. The question in Harkaway is usually solar, battery and EV charging, not gas replacement.
Most Harkaway properties skip the gas conversation entirely and go straight to the question that matters: how much solar and battery does this place need to run itself. We size for the real load, including sheds and pumps, and we configure backup circuits properly because power outages are a fact of life out here.
Harkaway 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.
For Harkaway's newer homes the order flips: solar, battery and EV charging first, heat pumps and induction for the earlier estates still on gas.
Solar in Harkaway is usually about getting it right rather than getting it at all: bigger arrays for the all-electric load, a battery sized to the evening, and an inverter that can take an EV charger. Solar Victoria rebates and loans and the federal battery discount applied.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneNew Harkaway homes usually have the switchboard capacity for a 7kW single-phase or 11kW three-phase charger without upgrades, and many garages were pre-wired. We install Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi chargers and set them to charge from your solar.
EV Chargers across MelbourneFor builders working in Harkaway: fit-out, pre-wiring and the all-electric services package from one licensed contractor. Fixed per-lot pricing, compliance certificates per lot, crews that scale with the program.
Builders across MelbourneHarkaway winters are cold and a lot of the houses heat with wood or bottled gas. Reverse cycle from Braemar, Mitsubishi or Hisense heats for a fraction of the cost and cools in summer. We size it to the house, not the brochure, and the VEU discount applies.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneFor Harkaway properties a heat pump hot water unit is usually the second thing we install after solar, because it turns midday generation that would otherwise be exported into the hot water you use at night. Reclaim, iStore, Emerald or Haier, VEU and STCs applied.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneElectrification in Harkaway rarely starts with gas removal because there is little or none. It starts with a solar and battery system sized for the property, then heat pump hot water and reverse cycle running on it, then EV charging. We design the system as a whole so nothing is undersized later.
Home Electrification across MelbourneInduction in a Harkaway kitchen usually means no more bottled gas at all. We supply and install the cooktop, run the circuit from the switchboard and cap or remove the gas line, with the VEU discount where eligible.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneFor landlords and property managers in Harkaway: mandatory electrical safety checks, compliance upgrades, pre-sale inspections and gas-to-electric appliance replacements, reported per property.

Yes. Harkaway 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.
Mostly not. Most Harkaway properties run on electricity with bottled gas for cooking at most, so electrification here is about solar, battery and heat pumps rather than gas removal. We confirm what your property has at the inspection.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 40 minutes from Harkaway.
Nearly all of them. A standard Harkaway home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably, and larger blocks take more. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. Berwick, Beaconsfield Upper and Narre Warren North and the rest of the South East and Casey area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
