One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging across Kallista and Ferny Creek and Sassafras. About 50 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Kallista is in the Yarra Ranges Council 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 Kallista than almost anywhere else, and reverse cycle heating is the biggest win for the cold winters.
Most Kallista 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.
We have been working in Kallista and around Ferny Creek, Sassafras and Belgrave 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 Kallista: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
Wood heaters and old gas space heaters are common in Kallista, and reverse cycle is the efficient replacement for both: heating in winter, cooling in summer, and it runs on the solar. Ducted where the roof space allows, splits or multi-head where it does not, all ARC-authorised and VEU-discounted.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneSolar in Kallista 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 MelbourneElectric storage tanks and bottled-gas hot water are the norm in Kallista, and both are expensive to run. A heat pump does the same job on about a quarter of the energy, qualifies for VEU discounts and STCs, and set to run at midday it heats on the solar. One-day changeover.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneFor Kallista properties the electrification plan is generation first: solar and battery big enough for the house and the sheds, then the appliances that run on it. One design, one crew, every rebate applied.
Home Electrification across MelbourneLonger driveways and detached carports in Kallista mean longer cable runs, and the older boards often need work. We quote the whole thing fixed, and with the solar and battery systems common up here the charger is set to fill the car from the roof.
EV Chargers across MelbourneBottled-gas cooktops are common in Kallista and induction replaces them cleanly: faster, safer, no bottles to swap. We run the dedicated circuit, fit the cooktop and remove the gas connection in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneFor builders and renovators in Kallista: electrical fit-out plus solar, HVAC, heat pump, induction and EV pre-wiring designed together at plan stage, from one licensed contractor.
Builders across MelbourneFor landlords and property managers in Kallista: mandatory electrical safety checks, compliance upgrades, pre-sale inspections and gas-to-electric appliance replacements, reported per property.

Yes. Kallista 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 Kallista 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 50 minutes from Kallista.
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. Ferny Creek, Sassafras and Belgrave and the rest of the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
