Ducted gas in the estates, LPG on the edges, wood fires in the beach houses. We work out what your home runs on, then replace each piece with efficient electric gear, sized around the solar most Mornington roofs already carry and the battery backup the Peninsula needs.
Going all electric in Mornington does not follow one script. The brick homes in the estates off Mornington-Tyabb Road and Bungower Road mostly have ducted gas heating, and usually gas for hot water and cooking too. Older beach houses and weatherboards near Main Street are more likely to heat with a wood fire, a gas log fire or a couple of ageing splits, and some properties on the edges run on LPG bottles. Gas is reticulated through parts of the suburb and not others, so the plan starts by finding out what your house actually runs on.
What most Mornington homes do share is solar. A lot of roofs here took panels early, which gives electrification a head start: reverse cycle heating and a heat pump timed to the middle of the day can run largely on power the house is currently exporting. Reverse cycle heats for around a third of the running cost of gas heating. Where the array is small or tired, we size an upgrade for the new electric load and add a battery, which also keeps the essentials running in the wind outages the Peninsula gets more often than the city.
The pieces are the same as anywhere: reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction cooking, solar, a battery and an EV charger if you need one, with the switchboard checked first. What changes is the order. A ducted gas home might start with heating; a home on LPG bottles might start with hot water and the cooktop. We set the sequence at the first inspection. More on everything we do in Mornington.
The home electrification Mornington homes need, piece by piece, with every trade done by our own people.
Ducted gas in a single-storey estate home becomes ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, typically one to two days. Homes with wood or LPG heaters and no ducts get Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense splits or a multi-head, a few hours per unit, with corrosion-protected outdoor coils near the water.
A gas, LPG or electric tank is replaced with an Emerald, Reclaim or iStore heat pump in a day by our plumber and electrician, then timed to run on solar.
The gas or LPG cooktop is replaced with induction on its own circuit. No rebate applies, so it is a straight fixed price.
We test the panels already on the roof, upgrade where it makes sense, and add a battery with backup circuits for outages. An EV charger can join the same plan.
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.
Two from next door in Mount Martha and one from Blairgowrie on the southern Peninsula.
Heating, hot water and cooking all went electric and the gas line was removed. 32 Jinko panels across two roof planes, a 10kW Sigen hybrid inverter with backup gateway and 24.18kWh of SigenStor went in in one day, and the independent inspector complimented the work.
The gas wall furnace in the hallway was decommissioned and replaced with reverse cycle, each outdoor unit on its own circuit. An Emerald heat pump, 29 Jinko panels on tile and a 27.12kWh SigenStor with backup gateway completed it, and every circuit on the upgraded board is labelled.
A double-storey home on a single-phase board was rewired to three phase. Gas heating, hot water and cooking all went: Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water, induction, 17.1kW of Jinko panels, 32kWh of Sigenergy and a 22kW EV charger.
One inspection sets the whole plan. Stage it over time or do it in one go.

How the existing array performs and whether the switchboard has room for the new circuits.
The appliance closest to failing or costing the most goes first. LPG homes often start with hot water and cooking.
Each item priced with its own incentives off, so you can approve one or all.
Our electricians, plumbers and refrigeration technicians do every stage, with backup tested wherever there is a battery.
Rebates attach to individual items, not to electrification as a whole.
Cheaper Home Batteries, around 30 percent off an approved battery with no income test. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan.
Reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water attract Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts, largest when gas is replaced. Our Mornington heating and cooling page covers the heating side in detail.
The Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan apply to solar panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers, and STCs to panels and heat pump hot water. Induction and EV chargers have no rebate.
Electrification is several jobs. We do all of them with our own people.
We work with the panels you have where they are good, and upgrade where they are not.
Battery backup circuits are tested with you at handover, before the first windy night.
And more than 5,000 Melbourne homes started on electrification, so most combinations of gas, LPG and wood are familiar.

Often more so. LPG bottles are an expensive way to heat water and cook. Replacing the hot water and cooktop first removes the bottles, and the heating can follow.
If it is performing well, yes. We test it first. Where it is small or old, we recommend an upgrade sized for electric heating and hot water.
Reverse cycle. In a house without ducts, a split system in the living area or a multi-head across several rooms heats and cools from one system.
With a battery and backup circuits, the essentials stay on. We agree which circuits with you and test them at handover.
No. Most homes stage it. The plan is set once, so the switchboard, solar and battery are sized for the whole house from the start.
A heat pump swap is normally one day, split systems a few hours each, and ducted reverse cycle on new ducts one to two days. Solar and a battery is usually a one-day install.
