Reverse cycle heating, heat pump hot water, induction, solar, a battery and an EV charger, planned together from the first inspection and done in the order that suits your house and budget. Every trade on our own payroll.
The typical Langwarrin house from the 1960s to the 1980s has a familiar set of gas appliances: a ducted heater in the roof, a hot water tank on the side wall and a cooktop in the kitchen. Each can be replaced with an electric version that costs less to run. Reverse cycle heats for around a third of the running cost of gas heating, and a heat pump makes hot water with about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage tank.
Before any of that, we look at the switchboard and the supply. Langwarrin has both single and three-phase streets, and older boards often need an upgrade to carry new circuits for the heating, the hot water and the cooktop. Doing the board once, sized for the whole plan, saves paying for it twice.
Home electrification Langwarrin owners take on is usually staged. The heater or the tank goes first, often because one has failed, and the rest follows as budget allows. At a busy Langwarrin family home we went further in one go, designing 21.85kW of solar, a 45.2kWh battery, a heat pump and an EV charger as a single system. More on our Langwarrin page.
Four changes, one plan, with the board checked first.
Out comes the heater and the old ducts. In goes a Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense ducted unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts, typically in one to two days, with AirTouch 5 zoning so empty bedrooms are not heated all day.
Emerald, iStore, Reclaim or Haier, plumbed and wired by our own staff in about a day. A 270L to 300L tank suits most families.
On a dedicated circuit from the board. It is usually the last gas appliance to go, and it has no rebate, so we quote a fixed price.
Once the house is electric, solar covers the daytime load, a battery takes the evening, and an EV charger can be added on the same system.
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.
Three written-up electrification jobs from down the Peninsula, each with the full specification.
Heating, hot water and cooking all switched to electric and the gas line removed. 15.2kW of Jinko solar, a 10kW Sigen hybrid, 24.18kWh of SigenStor with backup gateway and a new flush-mount switchboard. The monthly bill on this job dropped from $302 to $148.
A 2015 5kW array was removed and replaced with 13.3kW of all-black Jinko, a GoodWe 8kW inverter and 33.28kWh of GoodWe storage beside the switchboard. An iStore heat pump replaced the electric element tank and runs on the solar by day.
A double-storey home moved from single to three-phase, with gas heating, hot water and cooking all removed. Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water, induction, 17.1kW of Jinko, 32kWh of Sigenergy and a 22kW EV charger.
The plan stays the same whether you finish in a month or over a few years.
Gas appliances, roof space and ducts, switchboard, phase and the roof for solar.
Upgraded if needed, with room for every circuit in the plan.
Usually the oldest gas appliance first, each step priced separately.
Electricians, plumbers and ARC licensed technicians from our own team.
When the cooktop goes, you can stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use.
We show every incentive as its own line on the quote, and say where there is none.
The Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan cover solar panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers, and STCs apply to the panels. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan.
Induction cooktops and EV chargers have no rebate and are fixed price. Batteries get the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount, around 30 percent, with no income test.
Reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water attract VEU discounts, largest when replacing gas, and heat pumps also get STCs. See heating and cooling in Langwarrin.
Fewer handovers, fewer surprises, and one company answerable for all of it.
REC 32300 electrical, ARC licensed AU 065299, BPC 132072 and SAA accredited for solar and battery.
And more than 5,000 Melbourne homes started on electrification.
Our Langwarrin case study combines solar, battery, heat pump and EV charging in one design.

The switchboard check, then usually the gas appliance closest to failing. In many homes that is the ducted heater or the hot water tank.
New R1.5 insulated ducts are our default, because old gas ducts often leak or are too thinly insulated for cooling. A Braemar Dominator on existing ducts is only for homes where they cannot be replaced, usually double storey.
No. Plenty of homes electrify on single-phase. We check your supply and board at the inspection and plan around what you have.
Ducted reverse cycle on new ducts takes one to two days, a heat pump swap about a day, and induction or an EV charger part of a day. Many owners spread the steps out.
It is not required, but an electric home uses more power, and solar and a battery cover much of it. We size them to the load after electrification.
Once no gas appliances are left, you can stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use.
One inspection, a written plan in your order and a fixed price for each step. No obligation.
