Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Junction Village homes, 20 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Junction Village is one of the City of Casey growth areas, 15 km and about 20 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 Junction Village is usually solar, battery and EV charging, not gas replacement.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Junction Village 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.
Junction Village 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 Junction Village's newer homes the order flips: solar, battery and EV charging first, heat pumps and induction for the earlier estates still on gas.
New Junction Village homes have good roofs and modern switchboards, and a lot of them were sold with a small solar system that is now undersized for an EV and a heat pump. We size properly the first time, or upgrade what is there, and pair it with a Sigenergy or Tesla battery so the evening peak is covered.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneEV chargers are one of the most common jobs we do in Junction Village: modern boards, short cable runs, often a pre-wired garage. Charger supplied and installed, solar mode configured, Certificate of Electrical Safety issued.
EV Chargers across MelbourneJunction Village is active building country and new Victorian homes are all-electric. We deliver the electrical fit-out and the full electric package (solar, reverse cycle, heat pump, induction, EV circuit) as one contractor, priced from the plans and installed to the build program.
Builders across MelbourneReplacing 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 Junction Village. 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 MelbourneMost Junction Village 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 Junction Village 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 MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Junction Village 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. Junction Village 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 20 minutes from Junction Village.
