One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Heathmont homes, 50 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Heathmont 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 Heathmont than almost anywhere else, and reverse cycle heating is the biggest win for the cold winters.
Because Heathmont 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 Heathmont and around Ringwood East, Ringwood and Croydon South 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 Heathmont: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
In Heathmont 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 MelbourneSolar in Heathmont 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 MelbourneMost Heathmont 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 MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Heathmont home from one site inspection: what goes first for the fastest payback, what the solar needs to be sized for once the gas appliances are electric, and when the meter comes off. One crew for all of it.
Home Electrification across MelbourneEV charging on a Heathmont block is about the cable run and the switchboard. Both are checked at the inspection and included in the fixed price. Tesla, Sigenergy or Zappi, integrated with your solar.
EV Chargers across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Heathmont 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.

Yes. Heathmont 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 50 minutes from Heathmont.
Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. Solar Victoria battery rebates and loans and the federal battery discount are applied on the quote.
All of them. Ringwood East, Ringwood and Croydon South and the rest of the Maroondah area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
