One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Lower Plenty, VIC 3093. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Lower Plenty sits in the City of Banyule area, about 55 km and 60 minutes from our Somerville depot, next to Viewbank, Montmorency and Templestowe. Most of the housing went up between the 1960s and the 1980s: brick veneer on a slab or stumps, a ducted gas heater in the roof and a gas storage tank against the side wall. It is the most common kind of house we electrify, and the one where the savings are largest.
Because Lower Plenty 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 Lower Plenty and around Viewbank, Montmorency and Templestowe 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.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Lower Plenty's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
In Lower Plenty 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 MelbourneMost Lower Plenty 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 MelbourneLower Plenty roofs are mostly tile, unshaded and facing somewhere useful, so solar is straightforward. A standard block takes 6.6kW to 10kW; we size to your usage and to the gas appliances you are replacing. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow batteries cover the evening peak, and we lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Lower Plenty electrification is usually heating first, hot water second, then solar and battery sized to the new load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. Designed once at the first inspection, staged over as many visits as suits you, and every step attracts its own rebates.
Home Electrification across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Lower Plenty 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.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneLower Plenty has a mix of single and three-phase supply depending on the street and the age of the connection, and the older switchboards often need work before a charger goes in. We check both before quoting a Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi, and set it to charge from your solar first.

Yes. Lower Plenty 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.
In most Lower Plenty homes, yes. We inspect the ducts and the plenum at the site visit, and if they are sound the reverse cycle unit connects to them. That is the single biggest saving in the job.
