One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging across Merricks Beach and Merricks and Balnarring Beach. About 30 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
30 minutes from Somerville, Merricks Beach is where a lot of our Peninsula work is. Coastal homes, strong solar, owners who want a battery and backup for the outages that come with the wind. Gas is reticulated in parts of Merricks Beach and not others, so the electrification plan starts with checking what the house actually runs on.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Merricks Beach 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 goes in with new R1.5 insulated ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan cover the solar panels and inverter, and the federal battery discount covers the battery.
Merricks Beach 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.
High solar uptake means batteries and upgrades lead in Merricks Beach, with heating, hot water and EV following.
Coastal Merricks Beach roofs get plenty of sun and plenty of salt. We specify hardware for it, design for the wind loading, and size the battery for both the evening peak and blackout backup, which matters more on the Peninsula than in the suburbs.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneReplacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the job we do most in Merricks Beach. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them and controls the airflow, and where ducted is not practical, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split systems cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneMost Merricks Beach 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 MelbourneEV charging in Merricks Beach: dedicated circuit, charger set to solar-first, and where the property has a battery, integration so the car does not drain it overnight. Switchboard and supply checked before we quote.
EV Chargers across MelbourneA full Merricks Beach 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 Merricks Beach 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.

Yes. Merricks Beach is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating and cooling both 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.
